Nothing

Grey Face

I don't remember the day very well. I was young. I remember my dad carrying me. We were running somewhere.... i don't know where. People were screaming. There were a lot of explosions coming out of no where. I remember one big one.... Then I woke up here.

I woke up... I still haven't figured out where. A dark place with no other people. There was dirt. And grey sky. Nothing else. Nothing.

I haven't found anyone since. I don't know how I'm still alive. I haven't eaten since that day. I haven't drank anything. I haven't slept. I have been traveling on that dirt for ages, for someone... Anyone.

I don't know why I haven't given up. I know it's been a long time. I've gotten a lot taller. My brown hair is all the way down to my hips now. How can i last that long? So many questions... And the worst part is, I can't figure out any of them.

I miss my mom and my dad. I miss my brother. I miss talking to people, and seeing people. I miss everything. I freaking hate dirt.

Today is another regular day. Walking, thinking, thinking of more questions, figuring out none of them, and more walking.

I look up at the boring grey cloudless sky. No sign of a sun. Now that I think about it... I haven't been through a night! Or maybe I have been in the night all this time, and there is just no moon. But it's light out. I can still see for some reason, and there isn't a sun anywhere.

Where am I?

I turn around and see a tall object in the distance. It starts running towards me. It's a human! Maybe it has been going through the same thing as me!

Then I realize its feet aren't moving. It's standing perfectly still, a couple of inches above the ground. It's skin is dark grey, and it has no face. It's coming towards me, faster and faster.

I look down at my hands as they slowly begin to turn dark grey. My heart feels as if it is pounding out of my chest. I start to run.

I have never been more scared in my life.

I don't think I have ever ran this fast either.

I look behind me as I run. It's gone.

Thank God! What was that thing? What am I? I turn back around...

IT'S IN FRONT OF ME.

I scream and fall. I start crawling away from it, staring its faceless head, breathing really hard.

It puts its hand on my head, and I feel like my whole body is on fire. I scream and fall back. I stare at my hands as they start to turn black. I here a voice chanting my name in my head.

"Kate... Kate... Kate....."

I scream in fright and in pain.

Then I wake up.

I sit up and look at my hands. They are still black, fading back to its normal color.

My head hurts really bad. I put my hand on it, and I feel a huge bump. I look down, and I realize I'm on the dirt.

It wasn't a dream.

I look around me, trying to find any signs of that weird grey thing. I'm just going to call it a Grey Face. Nothing in sight except dirt. Shocker.

When I try to stand up I feel a burning pain in my leg, I scream, and I tumble back down. I look down at my leg. There is nothing. No mark, no bruise, no blood. Nothing.
