text: A Letter from a Long Dead Human Nobody knows how it started, it was as if the omnipotent button to begin the apocalypse had been smashed down by whatever omnipotent being up there was craving a little chaos. I had been lucky I was driving down through time square when it happened, almost as if they were in sync the subway systems burst out from the earth, creating pot holes the size of semi trucks, my ears began to ring as I noticed that large dust clouds were gathering at the bases of buildings and each of them climbed higher than their buildings, leaving nothing but ruble when the dust subsided. Some drivers began to accelerate however most were met to a fatal end as new pot holes emerged and devoured their vehicles. I had been lucky enough to be so shaken yet still that I dodged the death that awaited the others, and that is the sole reason you are reading my words, I haven’t been able to find many others in a state where they could tell their story. This leaves me and whoever else is out there with all but nothing as to what happened to humanity. We were able to not only survive, but dominate our environment for century upon century. Nobody could have predicted it would all be eradicated in such a short time. From what I’ve gathered every city big enough to have a news channel has been experiencing something similar to what I have, some even worse, almost the state of Delaware was engulfed in flood after flood, anybody who would have survived those floods would have run out of food weeks ago, the only remains of humans to be found is whatever could float. Rumors went around that those who survived Delaware were left with no choice but to result to cannibalism, so even if we did check out Delaware it’s likely we wouldn’t like what we found. Like I said I was in New York when it all went down which was already dense in population, cities like Tokyo where there were tens of millions more people were left with far less after those days. When I’m reading over this it looks like those six days were the only truly apocalyptic days, but I’m afraid that that was just the start, its a whole new world these days and sometimes I wish I wasn’t the ones so lucky to be here to see it, but that’s why I’m writing this in the case that one day the humans will bounce back and everything will be ok. I don’t think I’ll be there when that happens, but that doesn’t mean it won’t. I guess in the end that’s all I can hope for, and it ain’t so bad now I’ve gotten used to the doom and gloom surrounding me, I’m just sorry for any poor child born into this mess. I don’t know how much time I’ve got left in me, if you’re reading this that means that somebody’s found my body and hopefully I am the last victim to ever come out of this mess, I wish I could tell you more about what happened but I don’t know any more, I don’t think anybody does. And that might be more haunting then whatever the hell actually happened.
