To whoever shall find this, if anyone shall ever find this… my name is Alex Wright. The year is two thousand thirty A.D. The earth lies in ruins. We have lost so many battles in this bloody war. I sit here now alone, in an old Irish pub, located in what once was Fairbanks, Alaska.
The last time I was here, the president gave a speech to bring moral to troops. That was long ago, a life that seems so surreal to me now. The bar has been broken in two. Windows were boarded up. The floor looked as though it has been gathering dust for the last twenty years. The table I now sit at is the only one in decent shape. I’m writing this down now, to explain how our society fell. Writing it in hopes that future generations may learn for our mistakes, hoping that in the end history shall not repeat itself.
I hope that whoever finds this doesn’t treat this as we did the Odyssey or the legends of King Arthur, Merlin, Atlantis and other legends that we found in our final years as a race to be true. I pour myself a shot of jack and make a toast for those we have lost. I look out the window at the crimson skies. I can hear the dragons flying in the air. The way they snort as if having an asthma attack. They have a thirty feet wingspan. The dragons here are dark blue with green eyes. Their fangs are approximately a foot each.
The surrounding buildings have started to collapse upon themselves. Some have burnt down, from the dragons, and started to be over grown with greenery. There hasn’t been electricity here in years. As I write this I’m sitting next to a lit candle.
I’m not sure how it all began. I use to think we as humans were the only intelligent life forms in the universe. I know now that I was wrong. I’m starting to get ahead of myself now though. I think it would be wise to start at the beginning of the story. This in a way starts near the end, with a child from the present traveling to the past to save her father. Her father being the one person who could have had the power to save us all, but never the less this is how the world ends…
the following is the first few paragraphs of my book. i hope u enjoy.
