Shadows of the Past
#WritcoStoryPrompt56
A mysterious disease killed 95% of all humans. You survived by keeping to yourself and being alone. One day, you found a woman stuck under some rubble. She calls for your help and promptly does so. What happened next is up to what you will write.
In the aftermath of a mysterious disease that swept the globe, leaving devastation in its wake, I found solace in solitude. The world, once teeming with life, now echoed with silence as 95% of humanity succumbed to the merciless affliction. I survived by keeping to myself, navigating the desolate landscape with caution, a ghost in a world haunted by the shadows of the past.
One day, while scavenging for supplies in the ruins of a once-thriving city, a faint cry pierced the stillness. Intrigued and cautious, I followed the sound, my senses on high alert. Amidst the rubble, a woman's voice called out for help, a plea laden with desperation. I carefully approached, my eyes scanning the debris until they locked onto a figure pinned beneath the fallen remnants of what was once a building.
Her eyes met mine, a mix of fear and hope, as she implored me for assistance. Without hesitation, I joined her in the arduous task of freeing her from the entangled wreckage. As the last piece of debris was lifted, the weight seemed to dissipate, replaced by a newfound connection forged in the crucible of survival.
She introduced herself as Lily, a survivor like myself, navigating the remnants of a shattered world. In the quiet moments that followed, we shared tales of loss and resilience, finding common ground in our solitude. Lily's presence added a warmth to the desolation, and together we set out to face the challenges that lay ahead
Through the barren landscapes and decaying remnants of civilization, we forged a path toward an uncertain future. The bond between us grew stronger with each shared sunrise and conquered obstacle. In the silence, we discovered the power of companionship, creating a story of survival, resilience, and the hope that emerged from the ruins of a once-thriving world.
