An Interesting Story

            There once was a man named Tom. Tom lived the simple life of an accountant, until one day, while driving home from the office; he received an urgent phone call from his wife. His wife exclaimed, “It’s happening! The world’s going to oblivion! The kids and I are scared, please hurry!!” Tom could tell that his wife was serious, because as he exited off the highway, everywhere around him nukes were going off quicker than a hyena to its next feast. Everywhere around Tom, mushroom clouds started forming and Tom had the hardest of times steering his vehicle toward his home. As Tom approached his home, his wife jumped out from the house and exclaimed, “Hurry into the house!” As Tom descended into the basement with his wife and two daughters, the adults could see an object dropping from the sky not more than 2 meters away. The parents could only gaze and hold their children as tightly as possible for they knew what that object would bring with it. As Tom braced for impact, holding his children as tightly as possible, his wife pushed the rest of the family deeper into the cellar. As Tom exclaimed, “Brittany!” he could only get a glimpse of her smile as she locked the cellar door. The children were crying in the background, as Tom banged on the door as hard as possible to try to save the life of his wife. Boom. Tom felt a shock of energy and as he emerged from the cellar, holding his daughters, the world seemed no more. Tom and the kids had begun their journey on the post-apocalyptic Earth.
