Maria and her parents were sitting in their dining room eating breakfast. Papa was reading the newspaper and Mama was pouring coffee. When suddenly there were loud cries coming from the far end of the ghetto where they lived. “Ghettos are small segregated areas of the city where most Jews lived” (Anderson). Followed by screams and shouts in a language that Maria was unfamiliar with. Then, a loud, hard knock came from the door. Papa jumped out of his chair and hurried to it. Maria went to stand with him, but Mama pulled her into the kitchen. Maria peered around the corner watching as her father opened the door. Just as fast as the Sunday morning light peeked through the tiny crack between the door and the frame, it was blocked. Maria watched in horror as men in worn, dark uniforms came bursting into her house knocking Papa onto the floor.

I come in the front door, into the kitchen and I see my beautiful, glowing fiancée making supper.

“Violet!” Violet’s mother called. Violet continued bobbing her head to the music coming from her headphones. She continuously flipped through the pages of her book, finding the story uninteresting. “Violet!” Her mother called again but loud enough for her to hear. This time, Violet had heard her mother's calling and groaned in annoyance.

On a bright sunny day in the middle of summer, I woke up wrapped in my warm fluffy blanket with a dog. With my mom saying, “Austin wake up your cousin will be coming visiting us.”

I’m sitting here in this dusty old room with nothing to do but wait. The past hour has gone by in a blur. One minute I was at the store, the next I ended up here.

I’ll never forget the day my voice was unheard. I was a very timid kid with a fear of public speaking and afraid to give my opinion. I have always kept to myself. People have never listened to me, and it was probably because my voice was very low or they didn’t really care what I had to say. I always thought kids were going to laugh at me for speaking nonsense. However, that all changed with a robbery.

The year is 4017, 9 years since the apocalypse began. The need for essential resources was becoming more and more necessary. People everywhere were becoming more and more violent as the days went on. Grocery stores were no longer stocked, jobs were no longer existeda thing, schools were no longer in session, and people were no longer had friends nor family. No one could support a family. People couldn’t trust their own families. Just a week ago, a 9-year-old girl killed her whole family by stabbing them 7 times just to have the last can of beans they had to herself. It was every man for themselves now. Everything in the world had changed, all technology was practically gone, most animals had been killed or mutated. The only thing that stayed the same was a single military base. The base had food, water, electricity, animals, and medicine. It wasThe only truly civilized place left. Many journeyed to the military base. It was located in what used to be Arizona. The only way you could get to it was if you made it across the booby-trapped terrain guarding its entrance. However, even if you made it through the traps, the guards could deny you access, that is if you didn’t have the materials the base needed. Now that you know the information, I’ll tell you about the protagonist and his story.

I slowly opened the door of our cottage, being careful not to awake Mama. I looked across the stone road and saw the door of Ciara’s cottage slowly open. We meet eyes and join in the middle of our stone path as we start heading towards the village. Everything is quiet this early in the morning, and we don’t wish to disturb that silence, so we are quiet. She looks into my eyes again and starts moving a little quicker, into almost a gallop and turns to face me.

“Not it” we all get to our right knee and put our finger on our nose trying not to be last. I didn’t want to be it but I didn’t want to get dirt all over my knee, It was worth it though. We all immediately point to Tessa because she was obviously last (like always). She is also the fastest one and we can never outrun her.
