Good and Evil
The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.

I never thought I would live like a wild beast. The moment I heard the rest of our team screaming while searching for something to eat, I froze, paralyzed in fear and disgust.
I rested my hands on the rough ground and squeezed the black sand with my dirty, skinny fingers. I thought the whole situation was tragic, it was insane; no one was supposed to live like that.
I looked up at the sky and already knew I would be disappointed again. I was looking forward to seeing the sun but, for once more, I came across vanity and despair.
The blue color had vanished as the dust had covered everything and, during the night, you could see no clouds, no stars, not even the moon.
The strange fog along with the ash carried on wrapping the whole place up. Then again, the grey and the black colors had settled in front of my eyes and, as far as I could tell, they would remain there forever.
Although the intense heat belonged to the past, I was sure that we hadn’t seen anything yet. Soon, the weather conditions would change and the lack of sunlight would cause us more problems, making our living more difficult.
I swept my face and felt my dry eyes ready to pop out and, while I kept looking around me, the picture was still the same. I could sense the dangerous silence and, at the same time, I couldn’t explain how we managed to land at zero, destroying everything we had achieved.
Out of the blue, most of the world’s population was gone--assuming due to a tragic sun explosion. We were the only people who were still alive, and while we could still breathe, we were all cursed to exist. If only we could live again.
Unfortunately, all of us who survived were condemned to keep up living in a hell, and even though we were not zombies or man-eaters, I could bet that our hunger would be able to turn us into something we were not.
I gazed at my new “family” and, rolled my eyes. After a while I leaned against the wrecks of modern’s life destruction and tried to recall my life before the “new world.”
The moment I sensed her presence, my eyes pierced hers and I smiled since I realized that I hadn’t lost everything yet. She sat down next to me and held my hand, looking into my eyes while seeking for a place to rest her soul. We still had one another and we were both grateful for that precious privilege.
The black back seat of a destroyed jeep had become our bed and we felt lucky about that since there was nothing else around us to remind us of the positive pictures of the past.
Nevertheless, we had to be patient and optimistic since we were stranded in a place where everything seemed willing to eat avidly the last thing we had. We struggled to keep it alive, our precious, wonderful thoughts from before.
