What comes after the "Aftermath"?

Saturday May 1st, 2090

The day that everything went loose was the day I decided I would finally start to write about everything in life and the day has come. Still it is so crazy to me that before anything ever happened THIS is exactly something I always wanted to do and to think that now that I am actually getting through with it there’s a possibility no one will ever read this it makes me upset but that’s the whole entire point of writing.. To feel something one more time, because now you’ll really never know when will be the last time this happens to you and then it really is just gone. That was the last time you felt that.. In my thoughts and in my brain I love or atleast used to love feelings. I barely remember how specific things would even feel like. I'm happy because I got to research certain words to expand my vocabulary in time and now keep them in the back of my mind; their meaning, rule to shine, their definition. One thing I miss the most is music. wow. just to say the word gives me a frisson of excitement, to think that most of the new babies here will never get to experience the beauty of walking down a hallway with headphones on, letting the lyrics run through your veins. A family party dancing with all of your cousins, the guitar strokes making you jump in the air. The violin playing in one of your favorite bands takes over the fragility of your heart and your emotions or even the drums that ease your anxious tired body from pretending to be someone you’re not for the bare minimum of response from people and the world itself. Not that the person you were was bad, it was just fear from not being accepted.

Days went by in search of food and shelter they continued to just fight for survival always in fear of not knowing if they should trust the people that they meet.

The world is currently in ruins and only my brother and I are left. He’s 19 now which makes me a little older too but that won't be stated!! Anyway, the world as it was many years ago compared to its present condition had been foretold not to last and no one ever listened. The ones that did well they got to escape in time, worked the right jobs, or simply just have been lucky up until this day like Bruce and I. I would always wonder about the world and I'm sure many people out there did too. The “world” as one could call it as that was what we were taught who knows what exactly this place really is or if we’re under the surveillance of some kind at the moment. Everything is a cycle in life, literally EVERYTHING the main thing that caused all this tragedy was mold. YES MOLD fungus and bacteria it was everywhere from dairy products, red meats, poultry, certain fruits and vegetables, bread, living room walls, plants you name it, the infectious mold was there and it multiplied like crazy but there was never any visible growth when present that’s what got us we were all clueless. Many other foods that were not affected we still consume even though we are taking a risk we need to survive. We don't know if some are just immune since they haven’t been infected. There's no way to tell now, for those who weren’t lucky what this did to them.. It kills you slowly from the inside out your organs start to rot, your lungs start to inflate filled with toxins and then you stop breathing, painlessly at first only then everything hits you like a truck luckily they don’t come back after they die well at least no one has yet.. The main spread came from the first 400ish different plants it affected it would affect the inner core or stem of the plant exposing us to mold spores in the air but it especially affected edible plants the production was low and the big guys I guess we can call them needed more money a new way for food to last longer who’d have thought that fruits and vegetables were the main thing to kill half of the human race one day. At least by half I mean

I hope there are still people out there the many we have bumped into haven’t necessarily been the best. The type of thiophanate methyl was created by scientists that were ordered to do so, this was something I like to call reverse cycle as bad as fungicide was for us, the “bad” was still used to grow half of these vegetables causing them to infect other items in your home. They forced every crop owner to replace certain soil to help the fruits and vegetables to grow faster and have a longer life line ignoring the ground rules they already had, and because it was all going so good for them the production increased causing everyone to blow out of proportion. For all the food they were growing the fields became smaller and smaller making everything cramp with poor air circulation and high humidity making more and more mold, again to our naked eye we could not see this mold and would consume and breathe it in our homes as well as they forced farm owners to feed their animals stating it would make the meat and milk from the cows last longer and not get moldy for a longer amount of time rather than having it go bad in 3 days. Not knowing that it would infect and kill many people in the near future. People at first were very hesitant to consume the “new” type of produce and meats but with time everyone was pretty much used to it just as everyone tries to follow the crowd until.. Flu, diseases, illnesses affected more than others and in many different ways, some did not show symptoms at all and were gone the next day others were sick from the very start but were still able to live even years but in pain or suffering there was no way back. Mold produces many toxic chemicals that can cause respiratory problems, cancer, allergic reactions (rash or hives), and so on. Mold has been one of the many things I have always wondered about, everything in life has been so accurate, a little too perfect, For something like mold to be always so cautious around having to throw out food that was moldy because why? If we consumed too much of it what would happen? I guess I answered my own question. Look at us now. Humans, whether we believe it or not, are really powerful. It's one itself or many people working together towards what we now call the future at least that’s the fantasy I always imagined that was one of my biggest problems in the past having false hope in people and their actions. I always felt there was something different about everyone, how society was and the way they would treat people from the beginning. Before all this happened our lives weren’t necessarily normal but we were comfortable in a sense that although some were in the thought of death being one their fears and now with everything happening there actually are so many other ways to die all those thoughts multiplied you’ll get lucky if you bump a group or someone that was once a doctor and trust me if you do try to learn as much as you can from that person. You will need it. I wear my heart shaped locket everyday and it keeps me going, today specifically we are headed to find a safer place to grow our crops the right way this time, it has been our plan since the beginning but somehow the mold although we have found ways to now see it keeps catching up to us and we keep losing many. I don't know why but I always feel like my necklace always leads me to the right direction. I have so much faith in it because it has gotten us to where we are today and even though we lost our family everything has happened the way it should be I believe.

She did not get enough time to write what was coming next. It was the weirdest thing; it's like she almost walked into another universe, a realm, or even a portal no one knew what it was. As everybody was walking she bumped into an invisible wall. It could be said she was there and then she just wasn't; it's like the thin air sucked her in. What they didn't know was that they were passing right through a scientific dimension and then they were all captured.

If I could write down everything that has happened to me recently I really would but I can only put it in the shortest of words the weirdest thing happened to me one day as we were walking I have not seen my brother or any of the others I believe it has been a couple of days as I came back in time I came back to the actual real world again the place we called the “world” I have no idea how this happened I was walking with them and then all of a sudden I was back here I thought I might have been going crazy or maybe I was dreaming I was a bit paranoid that I was even dead and this is what death feels like maybe the mold got to me and this is one of the thing that happens when it attacks your body. I got here and I have no idea how to talk to anyone about the future because I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to. All I know is that when I got here my heart-shaped locket was open and shining. Could this mean something?

She seemed to have landed back in her old apartment and there was a big bang on the door someone was knocking, calling out her name. They were knocking with such force that it startled her. They were looking for her locket and they said it loud and clear. She jumped out of the window and started to run. She still couldn't believe that she was seeing people again, lots and lots of people eating, drinking, talking, singing, dancing. There were TVs playing, music in the air still so confused but filled with so many different feelings. She figured if somebody was after her locket it had to possess some kind of power, maybe she could try to go back into the future somehow so she held onto it and with all her might wished to go back to the future. It worked; it's like she ran straight through people and back into the ruins but the others were not to be found. She realized that they were close by, if the locket brought her back into her old apartment in the past it was always going to bring her back closest to something that had a meaning to her, in this case her brother Bruce. There was a strange place that she had never noticed before.

I have no idea what I am doing at this point. I feel like I might be going crazy? I experienced the weirdest thing I went back in time to when everything was normal and even though it was for about 3 days I don't remember anything that happened I just remember somebody knocking and I had to run. How is that even possible? I have a really bad feeling that somebody took my brother and the others somebody is after us, after my locket. I need answers but I don't think I will receive them here in the ruins. I have to go back and find out why this is happening. Could this really be my purpose?

She went back in time and was back home a completely ruined home If somebody went through it. This time there was a guy around her age wearing a black leather like jacket and black jeans with two bike helmets in his hands. He was at the door and she felt that she could trust him.

“Come on, we have to go” he said, and she followed. She had to find out what was going on.
