Note

it feels like you stand upon the belly of a ferocious beast. the rumbles knock you to your knees, but the tremors don't cease for a second. the loud hissing and whining from the rocks only seem to grow. the sounds clawing their way into your heart. white hot light. the scalding, red erupts into a towering mountain reaching up into space. it falls. the impact topples trees and twists the terrain into something unimaginable. the air is boiling and the air is heavy with chemicals no one should ever have to encounter. the temperature climbs, and suffocating blankets of ash end any poor creature who was walking at that moment. but you are resilient. you are still here. and as spitfire rains from the darkening sky like stars falling from the heavens, you are sure. you'll make it much longer than anyone thought you ever could.

The terrain is unrecognizable. You hike through a land once filled with man-made skyscapers that towered over the skies themselves, torn down for daring to challenge the mother of creation herself. Where there were once paved streets and the overwhelming stench of humanity, there is warm rock and volcanic ash that hung heavy in the air. You wondered why the molten lava that had cremated everything as you knew it seemed incapable of eating through your mortal flesh but you had never been one to ask questions. It was simpler to adapt, to morph yourself into a creature suitable for your environment. It was the only way to survive. And who was there to ask? The skies? The earth? To gain their attention was to incite their anger; they had never been fond of humanity after all. Your father had alway cautioned against asking unnecessary questions, a lesson he instilled in you through the circular glossy scars that littered your collarbone when the stench of alcohol poisoned the air of your decrepit old apartment. Who's to say the earth would not open itself and swallow you, burning you in its core as it had all the others? You've never been particularly fond of pain.

#I don't even know what I was doing lol #but this was kinda fun #ask #@queenmynx #your writing style is wonderful and poetic #but mine is so different lol #I got a random idea that we can write random snippets of two ppl surviving like the mass instinction of humanity #but it's so vague that you don't really know much #and then they meet #and we just go from there #writing #second person perspective
