Last Word of Testimony
But....sadly enough that was the only dream and moment i want to go over again..
Unfortunately snapping back to the present i realize i slept infront of my mother's grave..
as i opened my eyes the breeze pass by me...it felt refreshing if only this is how i would feel everyday
The year is 2025 and im now 19 years old
the world has fallen into an apocalypse, for some unknown reason monsters have appeared out of nowhere.
It might felt as in the movies but sadly this is what have happened in the present time
The past 3 years i have been surviving on my own in this now apocalyptic world
There are nearly no signs of life in this planet....though plants began to slowly gobble the earth.
Monsters of all kinds are now roaming the earth so is the seas...it will only come it time where humans no longer inhabit the earth.
Before this incident happened everyone has witness a phenemenon called the "The First Light" pertaining to a ray of light that suddenly hit the earth now turning into this abyss.
I was near the blast yet i have survive it...unfortunately my mother pass away from that beam of light....i don't know the answers so are the others left behind.
I pick up the rifle that was left in beside the graveyard and carried my bag full of supplies needed for survival...
I went back to the city of pines where it still stands....as i walk the streets i could see flyers thrown around the air.
"WHERE ARE MY CHILDRENS!!!" "HAVE YOU FORSAKEN YOUR CITIZENS!!!" i could hear this word over and over...
"it seems that the government has also suffered and become more patrionized than before.....this is bad" i said to myself
Teenagers like me who are supposedly learning education are now force to undergo military training...sadly many of my fellow classmates have pass away.
This generation really is not capable of serving the country...its quite sad to say the least
After the many deaths i have witness my heart have turned into stone....its quite challenging to hold on to hope this time
I walk towards the streets, i could see many protesters against the government....i could see the tension between the citizen and the authority.
Throughout the 3 years time of this situation the government have'nt made a single move concerning what have happened....
This is the result of always sugarcoating the society with such comforting lies..
I then head out to my old home in which i reconstructed back by my own..
I opened the door and drop my rifle and hang my bag at the side
"The atmosphere brings nostalgic vibes i see" i said to myself as i walk around looking at the pictures of my late mother on the shelf
I went upstairs toward my room with the intention of sleeping
But...after some thinking i sat at the chair and opened the cabinet drawers to take a wooden box
I took a deep breathe before opening it...there it was my mother's last note
it says....
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Hensō
It might be hard for you to grow up without me, i do apologize for leaving you here like your father once did. I guess it is about time for me to say this but this situation you are in now, it has happened 50 years ago, your father and i were still kids back then when it happened, i could still remember the cries of horror and fear as we fled the city, my dear son when you read this letter take note that your father left a parting gift in his graveyard for this moment, i want you to take it for this would help you in surviving. But when you have take that gift beware of becoming a enemy of the society altough i am not there to witness it. Promise me son when you have understand more of this situation then you would learn to appreciate the value of living. Take note son that there are not only monsters in this world but there whom we call "yarihan" this are humans who have gained powers due to the light but also beware of the "anito" or the shadows of the devil this are the enemy you do not want to fight, lastly son promise me to keep the pendant your grandmother gave you as a gift during your 3rd birthday.
Truly yours:
Mother

After reading the letter i could not stop myself from crying as i slam my fist on the table and covered my eyes with my left palm.
"you could have tell me sooner mother...and im sorry i was'nt there during your last moment....i therefore will do your last testimony...as your son" i said with my voice shaking
I cried myself to sleep....that was emberassing but i could'nt help myself,
I woke up and immediately stand up and set myself up before leaving the house to visit my father's grave
I went to the soldier's last destiny, a park that was once a place of fun is now a cemmentery for the fallen.
I entered and walk around to find my father's grave and there it was
"R.I.P Martinez Linguini" i read the grave i lowered my rifle to the ground and saluted to my late father.
"I was a child when you left me father...at first i didn't understand why you left us but as i grew up i know why you no longer comeback to us....i love you father" i said as i carress my father's grave.
The gravestone has a small pocket so i think that is where his gift was located.
I slowly opened the pocket and there i saw a wooden box
I slowly grab it with my hands and i then cross my legs into a indian seat
The wooden box is covered in dust so i slowly blow it away
I slowly opened the box and there i see to what seems to be a black with a tint of red colored gem....i took it and closed the box...returning it back to the pocket
As curious as i am to what this gem's purpose is i placed it inside my improvised small watch that has a small pocket underneath it.
The pendant that my late grandmother gave me was still located at her old house in which was oddly still standing
I pick up my rifle from the ground and walk away from my father's graveyard
As i walk away from it i heard a sudden
BOOM!!!
