I do not own Vocaloid in any way, shape or form.
I lazed around in my room, bored out of my mind. There was nothing to do that could get my attention for longer than a few minutes! ...Even my games were boring! ...Well not boring, per se, but my mind wasn't really concentrating on them It's like my brain... had a block in it? No, that's not a good way to describe it...uh... it's like my brain short-circuited... or froze! That's it! It felt like it froze... like with a computer program! ...Maybe I should just listen to the radio for a while... I switched on the radio just as a song started up, which seemed to be about the world ending from someone's point of view... I'm pretty sure it's a new song though; I've never heard it in my life I should find out the name for it... it's got a good beat... Suddenly, the music stopped to make way for a broadcast.
"It is with great remorse I have to inform you of this recent discovery but the apocalypse will occur today. Again, I am sorry and advise that you do not panic. We will now return you to your song" The foreign announcer started to choke up as he ploughed his way through the words that would destroy the lives of everyone in this town The world... is ending? Now? But it seems like such an average day... No way the world is ending... is there? I rushed to the window to see if the world's demise was reflected in the sky. I saw a crowding of birds flying in some unknown direction, covering up the premature moon as they did so. I turned back around, starting to pace around in my room, panic welling up inside me It can't be... the world's seriously ending?! But I haven't even hit 18! Haven't even finished school! My gaze fell upon the game that would surely be left un-saved and then swiftly leapt to the textbook for my homework that I had ignored due to not wanting to complete it At least I won't have to complete that... I'm pretty sure that the apocalypse arriving is a legit excuse to not hand in homework... I laughed derisively as my intake of breath quickened. My eyes widened; I was hyperventilating and my heartbeat was going so fast I could feel it without having to press my finger on a pulse I need to calm down...calmdown,calm down,CALM DOWN! I frantically picked up my headphones and plugged them into my portable radio, that same song still playing in the midst of my panic. I chuckled hollowly how ironic... I felt my body relax slightly, but I was still in panic mode. I heard the music fade again and braced myself to hear another announcement bring about more morbid news. Instead I heard hope.
"Hey, don't you wanna survive?" Survive? Is that possible if the world's going to end?... Oh well... it's not like I have much of a choice... Hang on... isn't this... my voice?! Am I deluding myself into believing that I can survive the end of the world? The - my voice carried on speaking, oblivious to my whirling thoughts "If you do then you better hurry up, you've only got 30 minutes to escape" ... okay... maybe I'm not deluding myself... if I was, I don't think I'd be that specific... I decided to humor my... hallucination?
"How do I save myself then?" I asked determinedly.
"You have to make it to that abandoned hill across town" But that takes at least 45 minutes running!
"But that'll take ages to get there!"
"Not if you listen to me and start running now!" Er... my voice rang out in desperation. My adreniline-pumped body reacted to it, running out of my house and down the eerily quiet street, my footfalls echoing, in the direction of the town centre "In twenty seconds you should come across an alley-way. turn into it; that'll cut off about twenty minutes off your journey time" Just as my voice finished speaking my vision flashed to a girl with the same hairstyle as me but seeming to be wearing a jersey. I saw said alley-way on my left. I turned into it, and ran through, ignoring any distractions. I hit the town, feeling as if I had teleported there I can just imagine a teleporting sound from a video game ringing out right now... I looked around to see a huge mass of people; I'm not sure how many people there were; I just knew that they were all ordinary men, women and children. Seeing all these people rioting, heading in the wrong direction, and the 10 year old girl crying out for her parents and the priest praying for some kind of saviour made me realise ...What about all these townspeople?! They're all gonna die if I don't help them! I clambered upon the nearest car and started to shout to everyone.
"Everybody! You're all heading the wrong way! You need to go to the hill!" Everybody couldn't hear me over the twisted requiem of their shouts of despair blending together. I shouted louder "Everybody! We need to get to the -"
"You need to leave, there's only 12 minutes left" My voice interrupted me.
"But what about -"
"They can't hear you! Even if they could, do you really think that everybody could fit on that hill?!" My voice shouted at me. It then took a ...breath (?) and continued speaking "...And besides this is all very likely to disappear in a flash; don't you think that they'd prefer that someone survived instead of no-one surviving?" My eyes widened at the thought of everything disappearing.
"But -"
"I know..." I got off the car and weaved through the crowd, slipping between people and avoiding the rioters weapons, tears threatening to pour out "Hurry up, there's only a minute!" this panicked statement came with another flash of that silhouetted girl and passed through one ear and out the other. The hill I had sought to get to was right in front of my eyes... I ran frantically up the hill. When I reached the top I was out of breath but I had made it within the limit. I heard birds chirping in the distance so this is where the birds flew off to... I leaned forward to collapse on the grass but my hands hit something... mid-air? What the? Why is there a wall that looks like a sky up here?! Hell, why is there a wall up here in the first place?! And is that... A window?! With a crowd of scientists behind it?! The scientists started clapping.
"Amazing..." They said... As if this was some kind of experiment that had yielded good results! How sick and twisted are these people's minds?!
"...I don't understand..." I whispered to myself, confusion and grief fusing together. I turned around to look upon my home-town ...hang on... it looks like some sort of experiment! I was barely aware of the scientists talking behind me.
"It's no longer needed" a scientist then said. I heard the faint clicking of a button. In front of my eyes I saw that a bomb had been released from the sky into the town. I watched in shock as the entire town turned into debris from the bright explosion. I sank onto my knees that means... my whole life... was a lie... I blankly stared at the shattered remains of my false childhood, tears overwhelming my eyes. I just barely heard a scientist speak again.
"It seems that experiment:Actor has been a success thus far. Retrieve the specimen so that we can run some more tests" ...Huh? ...What did he just say? ...What's experiment:Actor? What's the specimen?
"I'm sorry..." My voice from the headphones choked up, seeming to be holding back tears. I saw the silhouette of the girl one last as my world faded to black, the sound of a door opening and footsteps ringing in the background.
Hey there! Um, yeah, I don't have much to say actually... so, uh... hope you enjoyed reading this? And see you later... oh yeah, if you wanna talk, drop me a line! I don't bite!... I think... though I am socially awkweird... so, uh, see ya later? Yeah, see ya!
