The date is 29/07/32.
It's a normally sunny day in Ruthin, most of the town is shaded by the tall skyscrapers towering above. I'll give you a brief picture of Ruthin.
It's the largest town in wales which before the war was apart of the UK, it's the 3rd biggest Industry in exporting and importing, its wales capital ( replacing Cardiff down south after it was flooded from climate change) it has the 2nd biggest dock bringing things from all over the world. It's current population was reaching about 1 1/2 million people. It is the headquarters for a lot of business and has some of the finest and grandest buildings in the world. It's also the nicest and safest place to live in the Middle East. But as usual every things comes to an end some how.
8:20 am 2 hours before attack, missiles head towards London.
At this time I was in school leaving for my first lesson English I think it was it was only 45 minutes later that we were told that London was nuked and that we are going to war as we are allies with Hymbar ( old England).
9:45 am 35 minutes before attack.
We were evacuated back to our form rooms when an EMP bomb went of shutting off all power throughout the town. About 3 minutes later we heard an explosion the was smoke coming from the house district then they were all falling out of the sky, big to small, private to passenger, all types of planes started to scatter all over the town. The sound was horrible, the sound of children crying and men shouting was horrible. We all watch in horror as a one jet came uncontrollably towards us, the last I remember was my form class crying in sorrow knowing that today is their last.
It was dark everything was dark I remember realising I was choking on the thick smoke that swarmed my area. I could see small glimpses of fire and rubble through the smoke. My leg was stuck it was under a beam, probably apart of the roof that once towered above. I'm in the middle of trying to to get my leg free when I hear rumbling then a crack I start to panic the ground above me was starting to collapsed. I start to yank my leg finally coming free, I got out in time.
I started to crawl my way through the rubble of my school, I couldn't find any one no one alive any way. Light I could see light as I emerged out of once my school but now a pile of rubble I see the full extent of what was left of my school but also my home town. Smoke and fire had turned the sky grey and fires were quickly spreading through the town. This hasn't just happened in Ruthin it happened every where in wales. Once stood proudly above the town most are now blazing skeletons waiting for their return to the ground. I could see no way out. I then in the spot thought I've got to go home if it's still standing my dads out of town and my sister lives in the middle of town so I had to find her.
I as I was walking I went last houses that my friends lived in or people that my parents new had been hit or burnt down but the planes and the fires that led after. I walked round a corner to my house that had its windows blown out and apart of my up stairs had caved in, unlocked the door seeing that the family photos which once hung on the walls were now scattered and smashed on the floor. I was thinking of how I was gonna find my sister when I noticed our car hasn't been damaged okay It had one or two smashed window but I was still functional. I grabbed the keys and sat in the car (good thing it was an automatic) and turned the key and headed up town. The drive was a struggle as some of the roads had parts of houses on the road. I managed to get as close as I could to were my sister lived and had to walk the rest as the streets were full of rubble. I got out to realise that one of the builds was leaning against another but had title over the street it was terrifying you could see by the reflection of other taller builds that a plane had scratched the hole side of the building leaving it open above. I was about 5 minutes walk away from my sisters apartment which was up the street visible to where I was standing on the 29th floor. That I'm not gonna forget seeing the row of skylines had toppled like dominos and my sisters building was the second from last it, the building was split into three which from where I was standing it was in the second part of the build. I was running to the build meanwhile figuring how to get in the thing to see a smashed window which led inside and luckily the stairs where to the left. I get to the 23rd floor and I was at the first point where the building had split so I had to climb through a hole in the roof then apart of some stairs then through some apartments then to another flight of stairs and I'm now in the 25th 26th floor they are kinda merged together and I used the flight of stairs straight to her apartment and it was to the right and there it was number 240a the corridor to the apartment looked like there had been a few flash fires because there was water dripping probably from the pool above and the were black burnt marks everywhere. I barged through the door it was once a smart apartment but I was now just a wreck like their had been 12.0 magnitude earthquake but Ruthin has only experienced a 9.0. I went passed the kitchen checked the bedroom and bathroom nothing the I start the heat moans, I raced to the balcony were I found her there on the floor still in her hammock which was leaning over the edge. I nearly peed myself seeing her lifeless hanging minutes from death. She was breathing but unconscious so I waited for her to wake up. I was looking carefully over the balcony as it is slightly bending from damage and the one above that had collapsed onto the one above so that was only a metre above my head. I was just watching to town the fire fighters rushing to put out fires and set up hospital for those who are unwell. I hear moans in the back ground and when I turn round I smile seeing her getting up confused.
"What happened" she says with shock as she looks round her apartment which she's done a lot of work to but now in pieces. I told her what has happened and she said that she remembered the power cut then just hearing and explosion and then another then crash she doesn't remember anything else after that crash.
It's currently been a year since the attack and the town is rebuilding already our home is getting fix and the point my sister has been given a new home in a new apartment building to replace the other one which was had finished construction about 2 weeks ago. Everything seems to be going back to normal. So that's my story my legacy.
