Tori

   I was walking around as always looking for food cause it's so scarce, and I absolutely hate eating bugs. I look up,the sky grey as always. Debris and skeletons liter the ground. I've gotten used to the skeletons, they're everywhere. I look at some of the debris and notice a piece of paper, flapping in the wind. I go over to it and pick it up. It's a child's drawing, but not any drawing. My drawing. I stare at it for a minute before the memories, I just can't stop, flood into my mind.
   "Mommy! Mommy! Look what I drew!" A four year voice says. A women walks over to me. My mother. She smiles and looks at the drawing. "It's beautiful, Tori."  I smile at her.
   Then my mothers smile fades as she hears this faint whistling. "Get into the basement!" She yells at me. 4 year old me runs to the basement and waits for my mother. She never came. BOOM!!! Everything turns white as the door to the basement blows open. As the whiteness subsides, the house is gone. My ears ring. The sky grey. I climb out of what used to be a basement to my house. What I see horrifies me. I see some corpses. The trees are black. "Mom?" I yell, "mom?!" I start to cry. I look around and see her, dead, as every other corpse scattered around. "Mom!" I run towards her. I'm bawling. "Mom please wake up!!!"
   I came back to reality and stared at the piece of paper before me. I crumble it and throw it aside. I don't need it. It only brings back memories. Bad ones. If I'm gone survive in this world, I can't dwell on the past.
