When i was 8 my older brother came to me and ask me to go to a nearby river, he wanted to play there and catch some fish to bring Home, it was all an innocent Game from a kid who didnt know any better, i didnt wanted to go but he insisted to much so i end up going with him, we play and play in the shore until almost evening, i remember as clear as day, he saw a little fish and start chasing him into the river, i scream at him to come back and even run behind, he end up steping in a fake hole and started Sinking and being Dragged by The Current of The river, that was more violent and Stronger in the Center, i panicked and quickly grab his arm, the water started to enter my body as we both Drowned, I tried to drag him away from The Center with all My strength but that wasnt enough, My grip slip and he finally was eat by The river
We found him 3 days later
His Death still haunts me to This day, his body was Inflated and red, alone, between Branches and moss, His eyes were glassy and his hair covered almost all his face
We buried him a day later, almost Half The Town Attended, i don't remember much, My memories of that day are bluried to this day after all
My parents never once make me guilty, they told me multiple times that what happen wasnt My fault, that they understood my lack of strength and they didnt blame me for not saying My brother
They never blamed me, but i did, every day, since i woke up to The moment i slept, i was always there, in front of that river, i was weak, and i hate myself for so
After months My parents and I move away, we share The grief as a family, i never felt alone, i felt safe. So i started leaving My weak self behind
Training, with no propuse whatsoever, but i was sure, that if something was going to happen again, I would be prepared, years pass, i graduated highschool and was preparing to enter a university, until that day

Anyways, I have breakfast with My parents and around 8:30 am I finally leave The house to start walking towards The university, as i Enter Bleeker Street i notice something, a Lot of people are pointing at the sky, i find it weird and look up
-What The fuck is that?!-
I scream with other people, in The bright sky a Black Sphere is floating, like nothing anyone could ever imagine, the sole picture is disturbing and unsetting, i look at it, it was massive, it felt enourmous, more than the whole city, after some mili seconds The Black thing start to move, On its own axis, it was making me wanna puke of how fast it was going, suddenly, the whole earth was shaking, Tremors started to make people fall and screams from everywhere start blasting My ears, people falling, running and cars crashing in any place they found, for a moment i I thought,
(What is that? A weapon? They are attacking us? Am i Gonna die?)
I cannot put My own eyes out of that thing, As if it were calling me , i Stumble with My own Feet and fell in the pavement, all This happen in 7 Seconds, after that, a ring formed around the ball and everything went white, for a single Second i felt like i was floating in a empty space, and after that My body Impact in the street, i puke seconds later, as i looked around nothing had changed but something felt off, cries of nearby children alert My senses and after recover all of them I put Myself up, looking around make me realize the state i was in, in mere 7 Seconds The whole city was Done a mess, i start walking to The NJIT thinking about it, i was Extremely confuse until i remember and check My phone
-Holy shit, This is not a dream-
It happen in all places, everyone was reporting from Everywhere The same thing, a Black Sphere was in The Sky for 7 Seconds and then...wait
-Missing People?-
I stop breathing for a moment, people all around The Globe reported The same thing, people and animals dissapear without a trace after the Sphere did too, i didnt think much of it and Immediately change apps and Call My mother, after what felt hours the Call didnt reach, and i call My father, same result
A cold sweat began to run down my spin as i turn around and run towards My Home, after 5 minutes i stumble in the entrance, i scream as i Open and....no one was responding
