I often thought about it, did I really want to live. What was living going to do for me. I had been rejected countless times from work places and even foundations that were meant to help the homeless, threw me out. It was hard, countless people had lost their homes in the great change, but I was homeless before the huge earthquakes, followed a tsunami and beautiful green and purple rain. The people who had somehow survived the others still had enough courage to go out on their balconies to be surrounded by the stunning colours contrasted against the grey ruins of the city. It didn't take long before realising that the rain was deadly. I just watched as the majority of people in my survivor shelter practically melted as soon as the droplets had contact.
The tide of people soon changed direction as they heard the screams, others tried to resist the flow of people to help the ones who had been caught and just caused more confusion. Once everyone who could be saved was inside it was silent. Our numbers had yet again decreased by over an half. I was sad, angry and secretly relieved at the same time. I was angry because simple logic should of lead those people to question this new development, but over the past week many people had gone crazy, having lost everything. But this is big improvement as well less people to distribute the limited rations with and less fights. Though I did need to leave as there seemed to be a leader developing in the group. And with leaders came power, far as I am concerned I will be seen as useless and be thrown out anyway. I might as well get all the advantages while I could. I decided there was a reason to live because I was a natural survivor. I felt a rush of new energy rush through my system. The great change had also brought great change in me too. I look outside as the acidic rain stopped, taking in the wreck of the great city of Melbourne in all it's demise, I shivered in excitement. No people could be seen outside. No rules, I could do whatever I wanted . I breathed in and started to work on a plan to get out of here as soon as possible, this was my time to finally be free.
