Memories
16 May 2018Karuiko
Location: Kagome City, EarthThe coldness... Darkness... Scared. If I was anything right now, I was scared. Explosions still rumbled outside, Lazarus held me tight.
"Those fucks are going to cause a nuclear winter." he said. I couldn't speak, but I knew that it had already begun. Even if we were to turn back now, Kagome is no more. We have no home to go back to, and even if we tried to go back up to the surface, we would just die from the already existing radiation.
I glanced at the open cryopod. Kritter was still doing preparations for it. Turning to my left, I saw Avi and Purp already in stasis. I was next to go. Tons of thoughts racing through my head; What if the shelter was compromised? What if the cryostasis failed? What if we never woke up? I never thought I would be scared for my life, yet here I was, actually worried about myself. My life, my memories, I didn't want to lose any of it. But I would either way if I didn't enter the chamber. Tears rolled down my face as Kritter looked at me and nodded.
Preparations complete. My body was stiff, and the distant sound of another explosion had contracted me into another ball. Lazarus had to lift and gently put me in the pod. He gave me my pen. There was nothing special about it, but it was a gift given to me years ago. And I've held it dear ever since. I clenched it tight as he run fingers through my hair and backed away. He and Kritter exchanged glances as the pod closed, my senses going black...
My memories... I don't want them to ever fade from my heart...
