Letter.
Hey, yea you, god don't give me that look, the name's Garen Vol Reze leading General of The Earth's Protection System Canadian Division, and the leading Division, we were the ones that come up with the idea for it. The E.S.P, what a wonderful system she is, but I am not here to give you the run done of her, but I am here to tell you a wonderful, scary, tear-jerking story, oh and epic, and self-discovery, follow me in these sets of letters, on how a joyous Thursday night, turned into horror.
Okay, the date was December.31 2020, ten years ago, I was twenty well recently turned 20 at the time, you might be thinking about how a 20 got to be leading General of the E.S.P in the Canadian division, will that's another story for another time, well back to it, I was getting off work early with it being New Year's Eve and all, I was on my way home, to my girlfriend's place, Jade was her name, Jade Vol Reze, married her after three years of dating, started dating right after graduation at the academy, she was perfect, the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life, on my birthday she'd surprised me.
Garen's POV
"God, this is boring," I said, "be patient my love" being patient isn't my thing jade, and you know it" she'd just rolled her eyes, getting up from her spot she'd move towards me and sat on my lap, "just bare it, it's almost time" she whispered in my ear, "such a tease you are Jade" I stated, " one more minute my love" Fuck waiting is taking forever" I looked ever to my side to look at the clock, 11:59 pm, I closed my eyes wishing time would speed up, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" AHHH" I heard her right, I check the clock it said, 12:00 am, my birthday, finally I'm 20, "here," Jade said, I looked at her and tilted my head, "presents already, now who's being impatient" just open it, Garen" I took the small thin box, "I wonder what it could be" I sarcastically said, I swear to god my life flashed before my eyes, "hmm Jade, I am seeing this right, and I am not just going crazy" no you're not" she replied, I looked down to see it again a pregnancy test and it was positive, Jade she is pregnant, she is pregnant, and I am the father, and blackness overcame me.
Letter.
She was pregnant, I was a father, happy endings only happen in Disney films, some might tilt your head at she was, pregnant part, she died on that fateful night, the night that change the world, for better or worse, you decide, I couldn't, if you are reading these letter then I am dead, of course, I'd be dead, this time capsule was set to open in 200 years during the prime of New Canada.
Now, where was I again, oh yes, Thursday night, well Thursday morning, New Year's Eve morning, 18 hours before the end, I think I did my usual things got ready, went to work, got off work early, and came home around 4 pm, which left 8 hours until midnight, I spent 4 hours with the wife, picking out names, it was a girl, so we pick a couple of names, I picked rose, while my wife chooses Joy, and for 2 hours we got ready and went to the inner city, to celebrate with family, which left 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The Final Goodbye I called that fateful day,
Garen's POV,
"Honey, hurry up" I yelled from the car, "YEA!" I heard, god women they take forever, hmm fuck I forgot to lower the system defenses, "Hey Garen you lower, the E.P.S defenses yet" carl asked, yea doing that now, "voice activation required" Garen Vol-Reze" I said, "Voice accepted, lowering the E.P.S defenses, Happy New Year General," and a Happy New Year to you too Sam" now that's done, what about the other countries systems, checking base outlines of the other counter systems, and seeing the average time the systems were down, which lined up with their time zones.
"Sorry, sorry hun," Jade said, while running, "it's fine, get in we have 30 minutes until the fireworks, I don't even know why we need to lower the defense system, "stop being paranoid hun, we do this every year, "okay, okay, love you."
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1!!"
"BRRRRRRRRNNNNG, BRRRRRRRRRNNNNNG!!!"
Letter.
I don't like talking about that night, but I will try too, for an answer on what actually happened that night,
Garen's POV
"WHAT WAS THAT!!" I yelled, I look at Jade and my heart drop on her face was horror, I did the mistake and look at what she was looking at, my heart drops, even more, my mouth dry, and me wanting to faint, there in the sky above the city a mother ship, "NO no no no no no no" I mumbled to myself, "this can't be happening, not now" I said, "Jade we need to go NOW!" I yelled, I need to raise our defense systems, "NO NO NO" system error, "NO NO NO NO" GAREN" Jade oh god where is she, "JADE!!," this can't be happening not today, not on this night, where is Jade, Jade, Jade, Jade, where is she. "No, everything is not under control, how long until the military is sent out," I said, "okay, I need to make a call," I said again, a tone could be heard around in both countries, "Citizens of Canada, and America, please evacuate your cities and head to your nearest bunker, the bunker number will be said on your ID's, This, not a Drill I repeat this is not a Drill, Aliens have breached the central Canada defense systems, E.P.S South America Division has been contacted, once again please take your families and go to your designated bunker, I repeat this is not a drill, this is not a drill, aliens have breached Central Canada."
After finishing the call to both nations, I ran, I ran as fast as I can to find Jade, this isn't happening, "Systems online" finally, I check and to my horror, the files with the locations to all of the E.P.S are gone and so are the locations of the satellites, "BRNNNNNNNNNNG!" but that wasn't the mother ship and it was the E.P.S sirens, the main location for the Canadian division has fallen.
letter.
After I mean 30 minutes later I found her, Jade she was laying on the ground, I tried to wake her up but she never did, all I remember was crying, crying for the loss of my late wife, the pain of losing an unborn child of yours is way too much, I kneeled there crying for a couple of minutes, I was really contemplating ending it here, my life, not the letters, but I didn't or you wouldn't have my letters, that day New Year's Eve 2020 the world ended, all cities in the world were destroyed, they got locations of bunkers, and slaughter them like livestock, they destroyed everything, why can't we be happy, lily?
-Garen Vol-Smith nee Reze, Founding Father of New Canada.
No One's pov
"hmm interesting letter, don't you agree Professor Vol" yes they are, and how many times did I tell you, call me Lily," by any chance are you guys related" No, No Vol is a common last name, not surprising because our founders were called Vol, and I was named Lily because my mother likes them... anyways this was written two hundred years ago, anyway what is the next letter titled" oh the name its weird, its called wasteland"
Lily's POV
with Sam gone, I was left to close up,
"oh, dad how much I miss you."
No One's POV

"Father I will see you soon," Lily said looking up at the picture.
