So this is something that I wrote in the 10th grade so forgive me for its crap. The prompt was the "importance of taking responsibility for yourself". It's sort of like a subliminal Doctor Who/Torchwood spinoff fan fic sort of thing. Actually some parts are blatantly ripped off from Doctor Who and you will definitely notice so forgive me for that. Anyways here it is.
I felt the earth shaking to the beating of my heart. The guilt was devouring me ever so slowly. I saw thousands, no millions, of cold dead bodies lay upon the earth floor. I could've stopped all of this. If I took responsibility this wouldn't have happened. If I actually cared, people would still be living their lives day to day in the 51st century, but no. Due to my carelessness, to my selfishness, and to my stupidity billions have died. Here I stand the last of the human race, upon the desolate land of nothingness.
As I am walking around, looking at all that is left from the destruction that had occurred, horrid flashbacks are continuously playing in my head. The loud guns, explosions in every corner, and bodies being strewn across every street. I put my hands in my pockets and pull out an obscure looking key. I examine it and notice that on the back a small engraving of a TW. I shake my head in complete disgust. This little key was not just any key. This key was the cause of the Great War or as the Germans called it "der krieg der leben beendete" which translates to "the war which finished life". As I grasp the key with a firm grip the worst flashback hits me. I see myself finding this dreadful key and keeping it for myself. I see news flashes about this key and how it can destroy the world. I see bombs killing the people of Earth. I see the death of the world. I could've just turned it in to the government but no. I kept it. I killed off the human race.
I take the key and throw it into a burning building. I fall onto the ground, staring at the ashes and smoke in the dark sky. I close my eyes hoping to never open them again. Then I hear distant footsteps. Then I hear,
"Hello."
