The last day...

“ I woke to darkness and a empty place, the world I once knew had collapsed and reached its end! What I remember has been coming back in shards, like small pieces from a broken glass. I have a vague idea of what took my worlds hope, something unique that broke our world’s goals! A fight had begun our world now covered by blood, no one knows how many lives had been lost. No one truly knows if anyone had wondered what to come, all I knew was it started with this. Something so small and simple that caused the apocalypse, Did we really end the human race for the chance at surpassing them? What’s so special about this damn heart shaped locket, there must be a reason? There has to be a purpose, did we kill each other for something so useless? Does this locket hold a secret? How do I find out if I’m the last one left, what do I do with this God damn locket! I woke to a world of pure death and destruction, a world that had no more potential! To see so much hate and despair could of started over this, what was its goal? There must be a reason! I didn’t kill everyone just to exist?”

The man covered in blood, drenched from head to toe. Seeing his standing in a world all alone, begins to scream and yell with rage! Unsure what his meant to do next, seeing a child laying in its Mother’s arms both individuals dead with many stab wounds and battle scars. The man covered in blood proceeding to walks over to the bloody individuals, until he sees something unusual.To see the child was holding a heart shaped locket, within that moment he burst out crying.

You see a war had started due to a competition, they said find a heart shaped locket and there’s some prize money you can win. I don’t think they ever had expected this, to see a world of potential come to a catastrophic end. As the man takes the heart shaped locket from the male child’s dead hands, whipping his tears with his dried bloody hand. Looking over at his mother, holding a matching heart shaped locket he began to wonder. The man heard some noise, then notices a red light shine in his direction. The man had begun thinking he was saved the way had finally ended, turned to face what he thought was the culprit. The man yelled without truly thinking unknowingly to his death, that’s the last moment a human being lived. This was the last breath of human kind, as smart the race of humans had become. The one thing we can’t surpass is the chance to gamble against luck, to challenge our friends and rival our foes. This is a reason we have started to fall, the idea of surpassing our tomorrow’s goals with a hand out. They killed each other, until the world had truly collapsed.

Hearing a voice talking over a radio, walking towards the dead humans with a quickness and then a powerful yell.

“What a hopeless race these humans are, they fell for our games just like everyone else. All so foolish and selfish individuals, didn’t any of them think about afterwards they killed each other without a second thought! What utter dickheads, this world had birthed...”

A massive Lizard hybrid picks up the heart shaped lockets, placing them around his neck as he begins to say into the radio.

“That makes eleven, you keep going that way there maybe more of them! We should have 50 in total, how many have you collected?”
