What do you do when you're all alone with only your thoughts in the deepest darkest part of the world. Only then will the worst of you show. Because once you reach that point you don't play by the rules. That is where i am now, 25 and have no idea what happened
Well... to understand where i am heading you need to know where i have been. Let’s began at the day when everything went downhill.
I was only 12 when it happened.... I was gazing at the stars on the roof of my parents house with my best friend Jonathan "Wow look at that, a shooting star". I said, Jonathan Replied "Make a wish"
"I wish that i could be a hero" I proclaimed. Jonathan made his wish " I wish that we could be friends forever" I turned onto my side and said "Why would you wish that? We already are gonna be friends forever" He replies, "I had to be sure". I turned back onto my back and continued watch for a while, " Hey it's getting a bit late i think i might go home" Jonathan Explained, "alright see you tomorrow" I said. He slowly crawled back down the roof as i sat back up. He climbed into my bedroom window and went downstairs to the front door. I laid back down and muttered to myself "Friends Forever" I looked up and saw this blue light shine across the sky as if it was looking for something. It was moving quite slow, then all of a sudden it vanished. "What was that?" I said. I hear the door shut and decide to tell my friend goodbye again. I lent over the gutter very slightly just so he could hear my voice "Bye Jonathan". "Bye Andrew!" He replied. I heard some cracking sound, And then it sounded like something dropped, sort of like a bolt. I looked around and all of a sudden the gutter released under my hands "Ahhh" I yelled as i fell 3 stories to the ground, "ANDREW!!!!" Jonathan screamed as he saw me fall. CRACK. I was laying face down in the dirt unable to move my body, I turned my head to Jonathan I couldn't hear anything at the time. I saw his face and i could see his mouth moving. My eyes slowly shut as i passed out from shock. Beep Beep Beep. I opened my eyes to see that i was at a hospital, I felt fine and i could wiggle my toes. I was wondering where everyone was but this constant beeping in my ear wasn't helping. I got up and turned off the monitor. I went and took a look at the chart at the front of my hospital bed.
Andrew Diggle - Coma ; estimated 13 years. I was shocked and dropped the chart. I couldn't believe what it said. So i ran out into the hallway looking for anyone. I sprinted straight, all the way passed the operations room then saw the toilet arrow pointing to the left. I quickly entered the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I couldn't believe my eyes, I stared straight at myself and rubbed my face. I have a beard and a mustache. The chart was telling the truth about being in a coma for 13 years. I walked out the bathroom in shock and heard voices echoing "Hello? Anyone here?" I ran out looked left and right, i couldn't decipher where it was coming from. I ran to the left yelling "I am here my name is Andrew". But there was no response, I knew i was alone. I Found nothing, so i returned to my room where my clothes were. I picked the clothes up and said "No way i am gonna fit in this". It was my old clothes from when i was 12 years of age. "Time to find new clothes" I muttered. I slowly made my way down the hospital in search of clothes to change out of these hospital robes. Then i found 1 room with clothes in it. I think it belonged to some old guy because it had a belt and everything. I slipped on the dusty shirt and pants and threw the jacket on. Cough Cough "It's so dusty here" i said. I made my way down to the first floor and looked out the glass doors, Still... No one in sight. I walked towards the sliding doors and they opened. I chuckled "i am surprised there is still power". I walked out and a massive gust of wind blew straight into my face. I made my way down to my house If it was still there of course. I arrived after a long walk in search of people in the blistering sunlight. I opened the gate and walked to the front porch, I looked into the window and didn't see anyone inside. I decide to try open the door "it's open that's unusual" I said to myself. I walked into the hallway, "Our house still looks the same, The stairs to the left and the lounge to the right and passed the stairs was the kitchen"I said "i am feeling a little hungry". I walked straight to the kitchen in search of food. I went straight to the cupboard in search for canned food. "look what we have here baked beans" I said.. I go to grab the can opener which was behind me to the other end of the kitchen. I turned around and saw a note on the table "hmm what is this?". I picked it up to read what it said.
To my Dearest Andrew
I know how you must be scared
But it will be OK. If you are reading this
It has been 13 years. The last time i saw you was when
it was your 17th birthday
Your Father said it's time to give up hope but i didn't want to
i didn't have a choice really
If you are hungry we left lots of canned food and drink in the
basement. I am leaving this note for you to let you know that the
has changed. Billions of people were killed. Only the rich get to live
But we had to hide. We can't tell you where because if this note was
found before you did, our lives would be in danger
The people in comas and under life support were
spared. After 4 years a station was built in outer space
And all the remaining were taken up there.
You and only a handful are left on earth.
It was broadcast around the world about how earth wasn't going
to last any longer
and there was no coming back from it. So that's when the
evacuation happened we still remain but in hiding we left you clues
to find us and once you do you can rejoin the remaining society left
Good Luck son I will miss you
Lots of Love Your Mother Debra Diggle
I was so badly shocked that i was about to pass out again but in all the silence i heard a knockin
Knock Knock Knock. It was at the front door. I approached the door, i could see a figure outside the window and decided to open it. I slowly crept up to the door holding the letter in one hand. I was shaking. My hand touched the door handle and as i opened the door I saw....
