I dress up; the same shirt and short when I came in. And out to the space back to my bed in my room.

A year from now, thats when everything will change.

My family is poor, no savings, no propeties. Just a working class below poverty. No means of shopping-spree before the end of the world. All i can do is careful planning and  wise acquisition of things.

The space is still with me.

They can bring some stuff out that i permit but they cant bring something in. And the marbles at my bedside are my trackers.

With this in mind, i stand up from bed. I still need to go to work for now and earn my salary but I am not in the mood. "Still need to eat, plan and wait ' till the apocalypse." i sigh helplessly.

My name is Lei Flores, 32 y.o w/ an 11 y.o so, ZanRei. Right now, I still need to work but I chose to call in sick since I really am sick right now and having a hard time sorting everything.

I need to sleep everything through and think everything tomorrow since its my day off.

After my call to the office, I lay down again and ponder. At this lvl, with my space, i believe i can already invite people inside specially my family.

It will be for the best to rope them in for planning. The more brain, the better. And the sooner they gain their power, the better.

In the past, i was not able to help most of my family. It hurts alot being a little too late. That little seconds could have saved their lives but time is also a race.  Its better to be prepared in advance and better to train them in advance.

This time, i will plan and get everything prepared in advance. Mishaps are not welcome but a fallback plan is necessary.

While touching the tattoo above my chest, I fell asleep.

"Ma, you did not go to work?" ask my son, watching me.

I directly look at the window and saw that its morning and time to get myself a cup of coffee. Coffee, a very precious commodity by the end of the world. Since everything will mutate, the taste definitely change. One of the seeds I need to collect to plant inside my space.

"Nope. I need to do something.
How about you finishing your modules for Math and science class. Hmmmm?"

"Arrgggh. I don't like home study. I wanna go to school. So my teacher can give me pointers and explain."

Since pandemic, movements are restricted.

"Hahaha. But we dont have a choice. Go on son. We need you to finish so that younger aunt can forward it to you teacher. Okay?"

"Okay, ma. Arrgh. After this, i will go out and play."

Ok ZanRei. I love you." kissed his chubby cheeks and off he goes.

Atleast now, whatever the purpose of me coming back in time, this time i will make sure we will survive. My family will survive. Being alone in the apocalypse is unbearable.
