Interlude: Alan

When has the world changed this much? It felt like only yesterday that he had watched it be all sunshines and rainbows. In a single day it had changed to a hell on earth and they were its victims. He had watched it burn and then reshape itself into an image it had liked.

It had happened one day out of the blue, the world reshaping itself. Alan had not felt the change coming but he had realised once they hit him like a truck. He had tried his best to survive since then. He had not wanted to be a burden to others after all.

He had met a lot of fun people along the way. Some who had tolerated him, the others who had not but he had never really complained about it to anyone. There was no one to complain to after all. Everyone else who had been left behind had their own worries and sorrows to look after.
