The Lost Future
Part 5

----------------------------------------
The light filled the sky
The vast eternity of the universe
Destroying many life forms
Unaware of the danger
Those few who were hiding
Were saved
Those few who had luck.….

They began to walk down the street as Shadow noticed his stomach
growling. He looked around trying to find any good places where there
might be some food. Then he noticed a vending machine tipped over on
it's side.

"You hungry?"

"Yes!" she said with a hopeful expression on her face.

He walked over to the vending machine and checked his pockets.
He found he had no money. He looked around, then kicked the glass.
It shattered into pieces, and fell all over the ground. He grabbed a bunch
of chips and handed her a couple of bags. Then he sat down, and they
began to eat.

"So tell me what happened?"

She looked at him with a face just as confused looking as he was.

"Never mind, I suppose you're in as much dark as me."

She nodded and continued eating. Shadow laid back and rested
his head on the hard concrete, feeling a sharp pain in his head, and back.
He then remembered that he had just broke the glass to the vending machine
and got up screaming, running around in circles with his hands on his head.
After a good thirty minutes of running the pain finally stopped. The girl began
to laugh insanely at Shadow's craziness. He was glad to see her smiling after
all that she had been threw. He went over and picked her up, and walked
over the glass. They began down the road again looking for clues to what
happened. While they were walking small rocks started coming from the
sky. Shadow looked up and saw a building falling down. He ran as far as
he could for three seconds and put the girl under him and ducked down.
The building was beginning to fall and was about to crash on top of Shadow.
Shadow held his ground, and slipped a scape doll between the girl's hands. He
thought if one of them should live it should be her. But wait he could revive her.
But before he could do anything, the building fell on top of them.
