Journey Across The Fallout
Part One
On October 23 2077, humanity was on edge; the countries around the world were battling for manditory resources. As a result the countries decided to launch nuclear warheads upon the world, destroying it and bringing upon the end of the world. On that day our lives changed, I woke that morning with the smell of mildue in my nostrils. In the small town of Marin Headlands overlooking the golden gate bridge. I could feel a presence next to me as I open my eyes to her. Sera, her skin was soft as silk and the smell of her body was filled my nose as I smiled happy to have her by my side.
"Good morning, heh this is a pleasent supprise. Morning babe." I said to her as I placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to me and smiled, I remember it to this day; so sweet and innocent. She giggled a little and kissed my cheek as I pulled the bed cover over us and got on top of her.* "I didn't even know you would be here, I thought you got back two days from now."
"What? That sounds like a complaint to me, are you cheating on me?" She said playfully as she looked up at me and gently stroked my cheek with her thumb, her hazel eyes and purple hair is still what I remember of her. I even remember what she wore that day, a tank top covered in red hearts, she wore her tight black lace panties as she pressed against me. I would have to admit I was infatuated with her, she had me by the leach and I never tugged against it.
"I'd never and you know that. Remember I did say that it was a pleasent supprise." I laughed gently and leaned down to kiss her red plush lips, I can just remember their soft touch like it was yesterday. I chuckled and got off of her as I looked around and threw on a blue plain top as I had only been wearing my boxers and I needed a little more cover up or my parents would have a fit. I opened the door to the smell of eggs and bacon, what I would do for that again, I walked out into the room as Sera followed close behind. My mother sat in a chair reading the paper as my father was cooking the food on a skillet.* "Good morning you two, I'll take it you let the beast inside." I said pointing backwards at Sera as I chuckled a little. My father just chuckled softly as my mother turned and gave me a puzzled look then went back to her paper. I placed a hand on our granet counter, the rough but smooth surface brushed against my hand as I took a cup of coffee and sipped it softly, I smiled at my girl as I heard the sirens. "Wha? Wait ma? What is that noise…" I look around as my father whipped his hands on a rag and moved around panicked as he ran into their room. My mother looked terrified as the broadcast on the television was interupted by a man announcing the fall of the bombs in new york. I look twords Sera and nod to her as to reasure her. Trying to comfort her, my father runs out of the room with a bag packed with our must have nessesities as he takes me by the arm and pulls me out the door. "Ouch hey! Easy! I'm on my way! Sera let's go!" Her eyes were blank with fear as I realized, my family was excepted into the local vault 842. But Sera and her family did not. "Oh Sera… no I refuse come on, I'll make sure you get in no matter what!" I grab her by the arm and pull her along as we all run twords the vault not far away. I look to my sides as other families are running in the same direction; while others are on the ground crying with their families awaiting for the end. I see tears fall from Sera's face but I don't take the time to wipe them from her eyes as I see one of the bombs fall, hundreds of miles away. We were safe from that one but as I move my eyes upwards I notice the second falling twords us high in the sky. I turn the courner as the vault is in front of us. They are hurrying everyone inside as I see my parents enter. I pass the guards as Sera is stopped, I whip around and yell outwards. "Hey let her go!"
The guard pushed her back into the crowd and yelled out. "She isn't on the list you damn bo- shit close the vault now!" As I turned I saw the vault close in front of my eyes. I knew what I had done, I had just put my parents in the worst position I could ever do. I was going to die… I turn to Sera and pull her into an embrace as we knelt down on the ground together. "I love you Sera…"
"I love you too… Max…" She told to me as I saw the bomb hit, as a blinding light engulfed us. I felt nothing no pain no sorrow no loss. I was in bliss, that is until I opened my eyes. I heard the crackling of stone and solidified flesh. and clothing. I stand as I look around me, the place that was once my home, was gone. Tears fall from my eyes as there was no sign of Sera anywhere, the vault behind me looked aged and destroyed as it looked as if it was broken into.
"Mom… dad?" I cry out softly as I scamper over to the vault, I stumble a little as I adjust to walking again, I slide over the broken metal and enter the now destroyed vault. On the ground on the inside is a ten millimeter pistol. I pick it up into my hand as I look around, there were three doors as I turn to the one on the right. I press my hand on the door control panel as it opened to three skeletons, two of them were holding hands as I eye the dress and fell to the floor. She always wore that dress… mother...
Tears fell from my face as I see my parents skeletons laying there. How much time has passed from that day? I turn and see a terminal and power it up. "Wow looks like this is still functional… supprising… lets see… huh last time this thing was powered up was… one hundred years ago? How long has it been… how old am I?... how how am I alive?
