A sense of aligning nothing
Short story... Part 1 out of 10.

"Sup?"
"Sup?!"
Echoing down the hallway and all the way up to the bleachers. Well here's the thing, I was sleeping. In my mind, I could see the hallway all the way to outside. The door that accessed the bleachers was swinging, open then close open then close. I took off running towards it not paying attention to anything else. Running that fast I thought I was going blind, I wasn't going blind, unlike that moment when that was happening, nothing to worry about. So, I gathered my sights an...
"Sup?!"
The hallway in my mind started to shake the door to the bleachers slammed shut and next thing I knew I was spinning around and around until I moved my body up and.
"Ow." Both at the same time. "Why did you just hit me in my head?" As if we were linked and knew exactly what we were going to say. "No, I did not," "you did." "No, I DID NOT!" I stared at her as if I was most certain that she hit my head first. There was a moment when I stopped and realized that when I hit my head I was moving so, oops. That may have been my fault.
"You are correct," I said confidently. "You are correct I did hit your head with my head."
"Haha, told you you did dad."
"I told you to not call me that. Do you remember as to why I had said that?"
"Because yours is dead?"
I stared at here for a while. "No, that's not why. Because there is no reason to be called that. Anyways let us get going."
Oh yea I forgot to mention that there is no trace of people like us. they call us the immeasurable(s). Well because a doomsday was suppose to wipe us all out and only the immeasurable(s). remained. That was not what was suppose to happen. it was an attempt to recreate a whole new planet. Without anyone from the former life pre-existing. Like a real attempt to wipe out civilization. Not those feeble attempts of viruses and shit. No this wasn't done for scientists to solve, it was them that created it. The rumor is that it was made be a facility on the Westside of Canada, no idea where, but it was said to have been created in one of them. So my goal is to have both of us end up across the country in three days to put a stop to this and end everything from actually happening. Everything as in the next attempt to restart Earth. Her? Oh I met her the day after I woke up to see my parents on the roof, door, and sidewalk. Based on what looks like what happened they started to explode. But, I was sleeping so maybe that is what saved me, but of course I can never be sure.
"Let's go."
"Ok."
We arranged ourselves to get out of the home/shack we were forced to sleep in because somebodies bloody dog was not chained up. Or, it was and I had just didn't notice it. So, yea there is a lot of different things that have happened and things that you do not want to happen but probably will happen. For example, becoming the new paint for your un-colored roof, shiny with gloss, permanent like acrylic.
"Do you remember where we are going?"
"Ummm, yes. I believe so. I am not sure."
"Ok listen up I will le..." As I started explaining that there is a large distance between here and there. So I tried to focus especially on the path we would be taking. Planning out the path made for a completely different understanding. Because if you did something to hurt the original plan that would mean I would have to redo the plan, create, and complete a new one within the time allotted and the time well I was used to thinking in is a lot shorter than the time I would be given in this fiction scenario too. Sort of like having 5 seconds but you know you really only have 3, and that wasn't even the fastest I have needed to create a plan. As I started to end be description I said.
"Do you understand now?"
"Yes."
"Good." I jump down from the bed. "Alright, lets go."
Out of the miniature house/shack and off we went. we journeyed towards that middle of the city. Hoping to find ourselves a way to identify which was north, east, west, and south. With being able to figure that out we would of course be able to match our direct path to the plant(s) based on my suggestions or I guess actual plan.
As we walked down a small hill, I noticed another body a rather far distance away. So, I covered her eyes and continued forward, not letting that image burn into the brain and, wanting to avoid a possibility that is may come back when needing to make a fast decision. I am not expecting a whole lot from the world anymore, not because it has let me down consistently. But, there is more to keep on top of then there is to really understand. y'know what I mean? Anyways, there are tons of terms that can be used to understand the landscape of what is happening. tri-gnomius32, Insituous-12, mach-14, yes even mach-14, putobium 32, and the list goes on and on. Pretty sure that have a un marketed dictionary for all these names to describe certain things. If, not then where did they come from?
We are about 3 blocks away from the center of the city. Meaning, that we should be able to get there in under 15 minutes or less, if we hurry. As we approached the city square I started to recognize a sign. I remembered that the way it is pointing was west. and the other side of the sign as flat, with the center bolted down so no one would be able to move that sign.
'Beep, Beep.' Turning my head I wanted to see to confirm what was coming. Yep it was, Corrand was heading our way. I sent him off yesterday to find us a vehicle and since he did not come back the night I assumed he left us, but he did not. I did not know that he would remember that we were meeting in the middle of the city.
"Corrand, you S.O.B (yea I talk in acronyms, what of it). Glad to see you!"

I have always used Facebook to write my complex and a bit obtuse thoughts, and perspectives. A ex-friend of mine suggested that I start a blog. I decided not to and started a vocal account many years later maybe 7. ENJOY!
