Gathering the Undocumented
The air was filled with the weight of the black smoke. No one knew who set the fires, but they had burned for 4 weeks, and there was no end in sight. The smoke left the sky blotted out, and a dark haze over the sun. There was no reason to bathe or attempt to clean because the soot covered everything. Worse of all it filled our lungs. People were left with horrendous barking coughs trying to rid their bodies of the smoke that quickly wafted in with every breath.

Manifest
Mary Rose Devine stepped out of her comfortable, undeniably bland life the day she bought her locket. Most everyone had one by now, how could you not- everyone wanted love, in fact everyone needed love. Especially at a time of distress in California. Mary’s conversation with the locket seller was a prime example of why she never got a locket until now.

Sleeping Beauty
With a groaning crack, the door shifted, releasing a gust of stale air. Angela could barely contain herself as the workers took up a better stance and repositioned their prybars; but reminded herself that a Seeker must always project an outward calm. On the count of three, the workers put their back into it and the heavy door popped off its tracks, tumbling down the hillside, leaving behind a gaping black hole.

Beanstalk
— System online. — Loading text history. — 15% — Low battery. — A D D I T I O N # 473 -yet despite the sounds of stomping thunder and heavy rainfall beating against my ears, it’s always these damn cuddle bugs in my mind that wake me in the night. God how I’ve wished for this little place to be thicker, nights in a busted tent can only make the outside world sound closer, I hate it. These beings, these creatures, god’s amongst men. We’ve decayed to ants in comparison to them. It’s haunting, such a deconstructive thought to the soul, yet all that ever gets to pass my mind is the sound of sex. sex. sex… It’s been so long since I’ve shared a partner and even then I hadn’t a clue of my actions, neither had she. We’d loved before, but never like this, only now could we truly feel comfortable with someone, god how I’ve missed her. On the off chance anyone ever finds my writings I wouldn’t want to leave you questioning her, she died, a very long time ago. When they had arrived actually, these giants. She had died the same way most did. You know. My dear god the sight of it I can remember clearly, from the clouds in the sky, legs would step down onto our home, shattering our ground like glass. Then, hands all in unison would parts the clouds from above and grab onto us, taking us into the sky with them. I remember the feeling, the same feeling I had held in my youth when I had first lost my religion, I remember thinking to myself, chuckling almost.

Over 90% of the world wiped out in seven years.

The Bridge
On the night of the refinery fires Angel had watched the city burn like a second sun from his window, face awash with its warm glow and had smiled. It was a shameful feeling that twisted his stomach. His whole body shook as he gripped the sill, unsure of whether he was meant to laugh or scream, neither came.
