Before Calamity Strikes

A Story by Lizardo

If the world was falling donw

I was standing in a field of crops in England with a telescope watching how the horror approach earth, There was no sun because the darkness of the clouds didn’t let escape a single shot of light, but there was one spot where I was watching everything. It was called the ‘’Spot’’. What was approaching was a large meteor approximately the size of Ireland. The wind blew in my skin and clothes; I stood there with my telescope watching how quickly the meteor approach earth now entering earth’s exosphere. Lightening shouted from everywhere and the win god more humid as the asteroid was making its way to earth. I heard the rumbling sound of a car coming; it got closer as it approaches until it was just a few meters away from me.

A door blasted open from the fancy sport car and the yells from a woman came to my ear.

‘’Alexander, The time is now!’’ ‘’You need to fire the damn weapon to it or else we are all done for!’’

‘’You know what are the risks!’’ I yelled back

‘’Fine then, let’s go’’ I said

I made my way to the sport car and the rumbling sound of its engine came yet again and the fired away from the spot where I was standing.

‘’The asteroid’s gravity is already making its impact on earth, look by yourself Alex’’

The women said again

She gave an ipad with the latest new s on it showing how the asteroid was affecting earth. Pieces of buildings were flying in London, The Washington monument fell down as well as part of the white house, Dubai was also falling down apart with the lightning bolts striking the buildings, more than a thousand airplanes where out of place and most of them crashing, a tsunami striking the Siberia and the north pole with crashing icebergs and most of its ice melting down. It was calamity at bay.

I gave her back the ipad and started looking by the window, a tornado with lightning form crashing part of London as we approach the city.

‘’I know what you have said about this…’’ the woman was talking slowly

‘’I do believe in the multiverse theory’’ I said back

‘’If we send that asteroid through the UDO (Universe’s Dimension Opener)

It may hit another earth causing the extinction of another earth’’

‘’What are the odds?’’ the women said

‘’It’s all about the variables, we may have a 50-50 changed that if it hits an earth, it may be one that is already extinct’’ I said

We enter London and slowly watch how calamity step through earth devouring everything at site and the asteroid getting closer and closer, the ground was shaking and the car got just in time to the building, a large tall new skyscraper built on London by a science company, in those times, the English were obsessed with science progression. We quickly got out of the car and at the same time fell down because a lightning hit the street and the ground started to tremble again

‘’We need to get to the top of the building fast!’’ she yelled

When the tremble ling stop, we quickly made our way to the glassy building and started taking the escalators to the top where I had the UDO

The ground and lightning stroke again and the building was balancing and my ears started to hurt when the sound of breaking glasses came out all at once, I fell down again, my vision blurry and from a spot, I could see that all of London was falling down when pieces of mini asteroids started to strike the city making the buildings and people fly all at once

‘’We only have 5 minutes before the asteroids strikes!’’ The women yelled

I got up again and ran to the top as fast as I could.

When I got to the top I found my office all broken down but I could see my weapon from the distance, I quickly made my way to it and started to throw things away to grab it.

When I finally found it, there was a missing piece

‘’3 minutes!! Alex, 3 minutes look outside!’’ The women yelled in despair

The asteroid was significantly close to earth and the city

‘’I can’t find the damn missing piece!’’

Again the wind was blowing my jacket making me look epic!

But there was no time to watch that, I needed to find the damn piece

And I started throwing everything away yet again, the ground started rumbling again but this time it didn’t stop and the building started to balancing from one site to another, the sound of the cries of the people and how the mini asteroids were starting fires, blowing up gas stations and breaking buildings with the dark clouds making it way for the asteroid to strike earth

‘’1 minute! Fire the damn---‘’

She couldn’t finish the sentence, the building broke down apart and was slowly falling down to the ground, we were literally flying on mid air but I saw the missing piece of the machine, I flew to it and only adjusted it to the weapon

The screams from the women rose from behind as I shot the weapon to the asteroid making it disappear to another place and then I heard the sound of the building crashing to earth, the screams from the women stop and my vision turned black.

That is very true, Thank you so much Marvin!

This is really interesting but I found it a little hard to follow because of some spelling errors throughout it. It also looks as though you are using the apostrophe button instead of the quotes, because on the first quote of each speaking line one was facing one way and the other was facing the opposite almost kind of like a ying-yang symbol if you know what that is.

Wow! I loved it... I could totally feel the tension and the urgency! And what a way to describe... It was so interesting! Like a portal that was opening so many options in my head... since I am a science student now.. :) Great work, really! Thanks for sharing! :)
