The smell of sunrise soaked the air, bathing everything in an eerie black light. Shadows loomed everywhere, the junk filled lands post war had left scars on the surface, black voids and wounds of mangled vehicles, skyscrapers reduced to rubble. The future, it seamed, was a scrap heap. A peek of sunlight wearily poked over the horizon, peering out from underneath the blanket of the darkness.
They had survived another night.
A blonde haired girl climbed atop of a lorry surveying the dawning lands.
"Is it safe Serena" A tiny voice came from somewhere below.
"I think so, but we better hurry, there is only 5 hrs until Sundown again and we still have to make it over that." The blonde beauty replied, her slender finger pointing out in the distance. A wasteland lay before her; they had reached edge of the flats, once a mighty lake, now reduced to dust and bones.
"But there's no shelter out there. If we don't get there by sunset then;"
"I know Amy," She interrupted, her voice devoid of emotion. "We have no choice."
"Serena. We are running towards a rumour," Amy said bleakly, not scared or frustrated, just empty with the harshness of the truth. "There may be no city. It's a faint hope." It was a fact, and Amy was always good at pointing them out.
Serena sighed, "Hope is all we have." She climbed down to where Amy was hiding. Picked up her backpack and stared out into the birthing sun. "Come on," She smiled, for a moment a faint twinkle gleamed in her eye, the kind of light that shone before the war. "I'll race you there."
