Standing in the golden glow of dawn they felt the true meaning of “A New Day” . They could see for miles from here, sadly there was nothing much left to see.
It looks just like the books showed it to be but not as colourful. The light though, they had never seen anything like it, nor had they felt this warmth upon their faces. They were glad of their eye protectors.
Those who had last walked free up here had been dead at least fifty years now. These two, Adam and Eve, were the first two chosen to walk the earth since the nuclear holocaust had excelorated the climate change. Making planet Earth inhabitable.
They had been tasked with the job of reconnaissence to find out if it was finally safe to emerge from underground. The first couple to walk the earth for two hundred years.
They sampled the water and tested it, they took geiger counter readings, and samples of the as many plants the could find. The amount of insects amazed them, there were so many.
They spent a week working. The night before their return they were so excited about being the bearers of good news. It was, at last safe for the masses to return above ground.
The next day they started the long journey home, they were looking forward to some fresh grown food and a rest from the light and the weather.
They were greeted by the elders and passed on their findings.
Eve unwittingly also passed on an invisible virus.
The virus was virulent it wiped out every single survivor within a month. Millions died no one survived, it started inocently with a sneeze. Soon all of the animals died too. The crops wasted and withered, only the insects survived.

happy days!

Yup, for the insects 🤭🤭🤭🤭💜
Feb 14, 2019 @ 16:09:47
Well that’s a bit sad… and starting from such a lovely point sis!
Feb 14, 2019 @ 16:02:40
Yes I know but I needed a twist 🤭🤭🤭💜💜💜
Feb 14, 2019 @ 16:13:58
A great idea for a story.
Feb 14, 2019 @ 16:29:08
Yes but certainly not a long one 💜
Feb 14, 2019 @ 18:36:57
Like the twist.
Feb 14, 2019 @ 17:48:29
Yes I was looking for a shock 💜
Feb 14, 2019 @ 19:00:25
Wow, survived the nuclear holocaust only to end up like this! And it was all Eve’s fault again!
Feb 14, 2019 @ 21:55:09
Well who else really ? Sad tale but let’s face it they messed it all up once, who’s to blsay they wouldn’t do it again 🤭
Feb 14, 2019 @ 19:06:58
Dreadful, but so possible!
Feb 14, 2019 @ 21:56:29
To survive all that just for a virus to kill them all.
Feb 14, 2019 @ 19:11:10
The insects had to be safe. After all, there was a praying mantis.
Feb 14, 2019 @ 21:58:46
Obviously someone was listening to him 🤭🍷💜
Feb 14, 2019 @ 20:40:25
I did not expect that at all, good twist 🙂
Feb 14, 2019 @ 22:14:59
Thank you Kate , that’s the result I was hoping for 💜

No happy ending?
Feb 16, 2019 @ 19:15:18
Sadly life isn’t always happy endings 💜
Feb 17, 2019 @ 09:58:31
Don’t I know it!
Feb 17, 2019 @ 09:58:54
yes indeed ❤
Feb 16, 2019 @ 19:27:01
Oh dear. Seems like the future is doomed which ever you look at it!
Feb 16, 2019 @ 19:28:11
Yes indeed 💜
Feb 16, 2019 @ 19:38:56
Wow. How terrible. But only the strong survive.
Feb 16, 2019 @ 19:39:50
And it looks like it’s the insects!
Feb 17, 2019 @ 09:09:02
I imagined myself in Utah or Arizona, looking out over the great expanse. And then, and then…the virus. What a surprise ending! Hope you have a wonderful day (virus free, of course).
Feb 17, 2019 @ 09:39:55
Thank you I hope you have a virus free day too. I must admit I was going to be all hopeful and have a brave new world …but then my realist side ….okay my dark side reared it’s head ! ❤
Feb 17, 2019 @ 13:43:40
Fabulous start for a dystopian feature film, methinks!! How will the insects evolve?? Enjoyed it, Willow xxx
