"Them"
by
Michael

boy coming home from school on a stormy day would have to walk 3 miles to get home. This day there was fog everywhere, he stared into the dark road that led before him. Now this child had a bad childhood, he never felt loved and was disturbed. As he sighed to himself he walked down the dark road that leads him home.

He watched as he saw a crying old man lying on the side of the road covered in bruises and cut marks. He just gave him a sad look as tears filled his eyes. He continued to walk and saw a road that was not there the day before. The road consisted of dead trees, abandoned houses and he could hear the crying of children. He looked curiously as he put his first step down the road, suddenly he heared sirens, his whole body froze when he saw a woman walking in a torn wedding dress with her back facing him. He screamed and turned around and ran out of the road, as he was out of the road he saw every building was destroyed and every road was deserted. All he could now see was a dying land. He ran around looking for someone to help him. He ran down a road and in the fog he could see lights on in a building. He came into the building and the lights began to flash, eventually they went off. Shouting for someone he searched and saw stairs that led down to a basement. Going down he saw a man facing the wall, doing nothing and saying nothing, all he did was just stand there and face the wall. The boy ran towards him and felt something give him an extremely strong blow to the head. He became dizzy and now his vision was blurry and then he fell down.



The End
