CYS-J: barricade your house
From Create Your Own Story
Why leave at all? Your house was defend-able, and the neighborhood wasn't a war zone. You would have food and shelter, you would be able to last a long time here. The more you thought of it, the better it sounded. "Ok, I have a plan" Jessie turned and looked at you, curious to know of your idea. As you looked at her, you felt a pit in your stomach, what if you're wrong? You could get both of you killed. As these morbid thoughts floated through your mind, Jessie took a step closer, concern on her face as she reached out and touched your arm " whats the plan?" You snap back to reality, forcing the doubts away ""We stay here. We have supplies, shelter, and hopefully less crazy fuckers like these bastards"" You nodded toward one of the corpses. Jessie nodded in agreement, before speaking "Sounds good, lets do it" You let out a weak grin as you nod. "alright then, lets go home"
You lead the way out of the house, walking into the street that was once so full of panicked families. The red van is now fully aflame, engulfed in fire. You glance at it, before a large explosion from the mountain roared through the air. You glance back as a ball of flame from the mountain top, flinging debris across the mountainside. A second blast erupts, causing the ground to shake, as a mushroom cloud seem to grow, reaching into the heavens. You are filled with both fear and wander, as the cloud of smoke blotted out the sky. You notice that the mushroom cloud had a red tinge, like the fog along the mountainside. As you gazed at the giant pillar of smoke, you noticed red flashes of lightning, illuminating the sky. You heard Fred mutter, and Jessie cry, but you blocked them out as you were entranced by the scene in front of you. It was too late when you heard the car, and Freddy shout at you to move, when the vehicle hit you. You looked down to see a panicked woman behind the wheel, coughing as she speed toward you. You tried to jump out of the way, but the top of the hood and windshield slammed into. You heard a crack, before falling onto the concrete.
As you laid on the ground, you stared at the mountain, with all of its destructive glory. Your limbs felt to heavy to move, like they were filled with lead, and the ground was so comfortable. You could faintly hear Jessie scream and cry, and a large man grabbed you, dragging you away from the street. That must be Fred, you tried to say something, but it came out as gibberish. As you were dragged away, your vision slowly faded. The last thing you saw was the huge cloud, spreading across the sky, and ash starting to fall like snow.
