What would happen if one day your life changed drastically?
If everything you have for granted disappeared in just one moment?
If you wanted to go back to the past and fix your mistakes, but you realize that it isn't possible?
In that case, will you blame someone?
Will you accept his demands on a good term and surrender to his omnipotent status?
Or will you get up and face him with all your will?

Welcome to one of those possibilities.
This is my story... a story called destiny

A Story Called Destiny

It's been a couple of days since the incident, from that moment when our lives changed. Well, that's what the people living in my city thinks, because since that day it's impossible to contact the rest of the world.


All communications like phones, tv, and internet had been inoperable. Nothing works as it should.


Maybe it was a solar flare that caused some type of interference with the electromagnetic waves? We don't know, it's all just theories. After all, we lived in a connected world that allowed us to know everything that happened at the other side of the ocean in mere seconds. Now that is impossible is just... weird.


The people from 20 years ago probably wouldn't be affected in the same way as us at the moment, but times had changed too much. In this new millennium we had been too dependent on technology, either we liked it or not, and because of that it played against us this time. That's why the most alarmist had called this incident by many names like judgment day, the beginning of the end, the rapture, etc.


The more popular term, even though I find it silly, it's "The Day of the Apocalypse".


"Have you heard the rumour? They say that the team that leaved yesterday for the next town was attacked by something"


"Something? What do you mean by something? Was is it a panther or a couple of roughnecks?"


"No one knows. They didn't want to say more about it. I heard that they had to deploy the military, it seems like serious stuff"


The people began to spread weird rumours about the things that happen outside the city, from thugs to hungry wild animals. It's normal though, taking in consideration the situation we have at hands. The fear is what makes the human being to lost his reasoning and start to justify inexplicable happenings to something supernatural. It would be for the best that this didn't occur, the worst thing that can happen right now is for the panic to increase.


With the unavoidable changes in our actual society volunteering groups have been made by the neighbours to help each other and accomplish different tasks, or another ones like getting the permit for exploring outside the city.


Due to the rumours this last one wasn't so popular, but I decided to choose it anyway. I always loved some adventure and the idea of exploring a supposed post apocalyptic scenario filled me with curiosity.


"Ok, today's volunteers are... just one it seems" said the one in charge of the operation.


"Well, yeah. Sorry for the disappointment"


"Don't worry, in fact I am glad to have people who aren't cowards and believe anything they heard out there. We could use some help"


"Nevertheless the fact that a couple of days ago a declaration was made to restraint all civilians from the frontier of the city it's strange. Is possible that someone's out there taking advantage of this situation"
