My Hell
a short story
by: Kat A. Fonell
My hell for all eternity would be if I was to lose everyone close to me, and I was almost the only person alive on the face of the earth. The only other person there is, is "Superman" and he says, "Welcome to hell, Kate, now you know what I have to deal with everyday of the rest of my life."
When I walk out of my house, all I see is an endless graveyard of the people I once know. Also I see every house, including mine, is covered in soot. There are no leaves on the trees, most of the trees are burned down, and there are a few scattered bodies in the distance. There are only a few living species of animals left on the earth, and most of them have gone savage. I have to fight for my food, which could end up in tragedy. Everyday is an adventure, a struggle, and a sacrifice.
There is no such thing as family, or friends, you are all alone trying to survive the week. Every time I go to sleep I have nightmares about it being my last day on Earth. Now when I wake up I notice it is true and the nightmare is just getting through the day.
Who is this degenerate person who thought of this? Is it my family, my friends, or was that my past? I will never know because they're probably rotting in graves in front of my house. Now I have to live in this hell hole for all eternity with the chipping gravestones, the savage animals, and myself. No matter, when, how, or if you die nothing could be more scary than a life with no end, and endless graybeard, and no one around to comfort you.
