Dawn Before The End
It's the sound of some blasting that wake me up, I could feel something happening outside. It's still dark, It's early morning. My mind had no explanation that could give a possible reason for the sound. I tried to turn on the light, it's not working. So I took my phone and used the flash to look around.
I walked towards my parent's bedroom, they are sleeping calmly. It doesn't seem like they have heard any of the sounds. I closed the door and walked towards the kitchen to drink some water. I want to open the door and look outside, but I feel some kind of fear.
I've always feared about the apocalypse, but it was always about the COVID situation. The blasting can't explain any of the theories in my mind. This is something horrifying, the only foolish thought that came to my mind is the blast of some aircraft. I always believed that no such drastic thing's gonna happen in my life.
But now something's different I could feel it in each breath I take. I am feeling like some kind of devilish dog's waiting outside for me to just open the door. I knew the fact that if there's something else outside there's nothing I could do to stop it. All I can do is to enjoy these last moments. There's nothing to do in this early morning.
Then the idea of calling her popped into my head. If this' s the end it's the only thing that could give me some kind of peacefulness, Dying in the piece. It's a foolish philosophy, I may be building up things. It may be just some kind of feeling, there will be nothing out there.
I walked towards the bedroom, I have no gut to open the door and look at the reality. It will be something haunting. The only thing that could be worth doing is sleeping like my parents, sometimes it's better to know nothing. Knowing something that nobody knows will always heat up the pressure. It's always hard for me to deal with pressure situations.
I laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling, it is completely black. I can feel an emptiness in my mind, cause my heart already accepted it as an end to all my journey. Then the next moment I feel the complete opposite, it's like these are just stupid thoughts.
Then there was some kind of vibration on the bed, I confirmed for a second that it's the end. It was just a phone call, it's from her. I stared on the screen for a few minutes. There is no reason I could find, for the call from her at this time. Then I accepted the call.
She is weeping, I could hear the distorted sounds. She doesn't talk anything.
"Hello...
Are you there?
What happened?"
Finally, I yelled. My heart's beating very fast, I could feel something's near. After yelling for a few more minutes I just became calm and listened to the distorted sounds. Then there was a light in the darkness, it's something with a peculiar orange colour coming towards me through the window.
"I love you" it was a reflex from me.
It hit the window. Then the whole room completely lightened up and it turned into pitch black.
This may be death. I could feel something, some kind of light hitting my eyes, but I wasn't ready to open the eyes. I felt something unfavourable is waiting for me outside. Then there was a sudden impulse and I opened the eyes.
It's morning, I could see light coming through the window. The room was beautiful in this peculiar orange light. I looked around, then there was a small knock and mother came into the room with the coffee. Next moment I saw a call coming on my phone, it's her.
