It was a nice summer day when it happened. The temperature was around 28°C outside. The green leaves glistened on the trees and the lovely birds on top of the long branches were singing a sweet tune. The joyous sounds of kids playing became a pleasant background noise, Occasional cars driving down the road, the Welcomes the store owners give their customers. We could hear the typical neighbourhood sounds as we walked down the street. I was just hanging out with my 2 best friends, Joey and Ellie. We were just walking down a straight road. Which made it more surprising when it all began. This is the story of when, the world ends…
"Wowww that movie was awesome!!", Ellie is a huge pop culture fan. She knows just about everything from anything ever made, from series like A●engers to T●y St●ry, even songs from bands the 1900's like O●sis and The Be●tles!
"That scene where the mech comes flying in out of nowhere and starts destroying the city only for the hero to save the day by ripping out the wiring. I looooooved the CGI they used for the robot; it was really well done." Ellie ranted on and on
"Ok ok we get it, spare us the 5-hour rant Ellie" That's Joey. He's really negative about things but he's pretty an amazing guy. Trust me!
"I mean, that movie was pretty good." I add on.
"Not you too Abbie".
That's me! Abigail Pate. You can call me Abbie. I'm 15 and I go to the same school with my two best friends, Ellie Shelley and Joey Trowell. Their real names are Eloise and Jospeh, soo Ellie and Joey for short.
"You can't say it was a bad film can you Joey?"
"Well..." Joey looked like he was about to say it was, but his eyes caught Ellie's and he knew he would get destroyed if is said so.
"I guess it was decent" Joey says giving up.
"It wasn't decent. IT WAS AMAZING!" Ellie replies in the most enthusiastic way possible. Her passionate eyes burning holes into him.
"Yea yea, I guess it was a good film" Joey says, once again, admitting defeat.
Feeling accomplished, Ellie announces she's going to the toilet then skips away.
"I should go too" I announce.
To my surprise, Joey grabs me on my arm and holds me back.
"Wait…"
"Hm? What's up Joey?"
"I- I have something I want to tell you…"
"Sure, what is it?"
"I- "
But he was cut short because suddenly, as if it were all coordinated, all the dogs start barking, the kids in the park were screaming, and Joey's face had a huge shadow cast on it.
I turned around and there it was. Some colossal object falling towards the ground; It was at least the size of a continent!
"What the hell is that!" I scream.
Then I realise Ellie went to the toilet in the same direction.
"ELLIEEEE!" I scream.
Like an obedient dog she comes running towards us.
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" she screams.
It was all a blur what happened next. Joey ran and grabbed Ellie by the hand and drags her along with us to safety, but it was too late. The giant rock made its first impact, and everything went flying. Cars, lampposts, traffic lights, debris, people. Then finally, us…
