out of the blue

Annie loves traveling the world but one day she gets a flyer to help the needy . She calls her buddy Travis for this dangerous adventure? Will this be the end for them.

There was a flyer for that came in the mail as mail that got me started on my adventure. It was a while back as I recall but I didn't they know it was going to be the end for me. It all started on a nice fall day in November 11/1/3026. I picked up the flyer and it was for traveling to South America to help the needy. I picked up the phone and quickly dialed my traveling buddy Travis. Travis has black hair has a shy attitude and loves soccer. Travis picked up the phone and knew what I was going to say immediately." Let me guess another traveling trip". "Yessss" I shouted with excitement. "To where." South America I said back. All a sudden silence. "You know its dangerous to go there we don't know if it still safe." That's ok we can risk it we are traveling buddies. “Annie I know your strong, brave and a risk taker, but this a bit too much even for a risk taker. I responded back "I am a dare devil and I can handle it." I could hear him shaking his head. "Fine I will go what time." We leave at 5 am next week. I notified your cousin that where coming since your cousin lives in Peru. Then we both hanged up and the week went fast. It was finally time to go to our trip to Peru. We both met at our house with six luggage bags each. I got my car keys then we both traveled to the airport. The airports are much different in this time the plane trips take less long. It can take up an hour to travel to Peru in one plane. There no such thing as taking two flights it’s just one now.  One hour later we arrived I woke Travis up he practically drooled on the seat. The airport in Peru is hot there no air-conditioning blowing in the airport. There were a bunch of stores in the airport closed as well and a rat zoomed past my feet. "Ewww!" Travis looked at the ground disgusted. "What is also with all these guards around?" I said. Then we both walked to the baggage claim as we were walking I see a bunch of cracks on the ground. When we finally arrived to baggage claim the baggage carousel was not working, and our luggage is sitting on the floor. I looked at my luggage thinking what happened to this airport. I hear the words aqui and see Travis cousin wave at us. I don't really speak Spanish it’s the only language I can't seem to learn. Travis had his arms opened and rushed to hug is cousin Diego. They started speaking each other. I didn't understand but I can see tears form in Diego eyes. When they finally stopped hugging I walked over to them. Diego tried speaking Spanish to me. I uttered out my best Spanish out Me no habla English. He gave me a puzzled looked. Travis whispers in my ear. "You just said you don't speak English. Wow I thought. When we walked out of the airport I expected a car, but it was a horse and buggy. I love horses but horse and buggy are really rare now. I looked around and I can see cracked streets, buildings collapsing and there was a destroyed car in the middle of the road. When we finally got in the buggy a cop stopped us. Diego told him that we were here to help. Only people who are going to help Peru where allowed to come in and I showed him my proof card so did Travis. Eight hours later we arrived to small house where Diego and his family lives in. I walked in and see his family cooking on the floor in the kitchen. There was no stove working, no electricity and no running water. Travis told me if I want to take a shower whatever I do is not bathe in the river it’s been contaminated by a chemical. "Are we going to help build houses tomorrow? I questioned. "Yes." Ok good just making sure I hope we can make Peru have better living conditions. I gathered around with Diego family with the fire burning outside. I was thinking how this place ended so badly in poverty. It was not the country's fault it went so downhill. On the news in the year 3000 a war broke out between Caba and Peru. Caba was this new country that they made between somewhere in Asia. Caba was not a tolerant country it didn't want to work with the USA and other countries. They had a lot of good resources and lots of weapons. The prime minister finally agreed for a treaty with the US, but they did not like Peru. Then one day out of the blue they sent missiles. There missiles where stronger then the US. The US couldn't detect them in time. It was too late everything was pretty much blown, and they were still at war.US declined this treaty with Caba when they launched missiles at Peru. Now the United States is working hard to prevent an attack from Caba, because Caba has better military equipment then the USA. Now Travis and I our in a country that was beautiful with lots of buildings to a country that is back to the Stone Age. The next day Travis and I got to work we helped reconstruct homes and help cook food. It was a very hot day my face drenched with sweat, and mosquitos flying everywhere. People were waiting in line for their food ration. All a sudden a fight broke out it was very brutal. One guy mutters something and shoves this other guy out of line. "Crack." Travis and I hear and we see this guy break the guys arm, and then he started to punch him. Three more guys came in and tried to break it up. I tried to but Travis grabbed my arm. He said I shouldn't get involved. The guy with the broken arm and a mashed up face screamed with pain. There was no ambulance and the most horrific thing happened they guy who broke his arm killed the guy with the bat. Then the other guys who tried breaking it up started to beat the guy up. Travis whispered in my ear. "We need to go." But what about the guy." He just grabbed my arm and rushed me to safety. I was out of air when we arrived to the house we ran the whole way here. Diego greeted us. He asked Travis in Spanish why we are out of breath. Diego responded beck in Spanish a fight broke out. Diego shakes his head in the shame. All a sudden I hear WHOOOSH. I look out the window and see a mini missile hit the house next door. "BANG I heard when the missile hit the house. Debris started flying everywhere I see big orange flames bursting, and then I see a body crash through the window. Diego grabbed my arm and runs out of the house with Travis following behind. I thought they were done with war. Diego told me they were not. They created smaller missiles the size of guinea pigs. The mini missiles are harder to track and there for destroying homes. They call it insperdamente. Using my best Spanish I could use I said de la nada. Travis and Diego looked at me." Crap I thought. I said it wrong again." Annie that not it we were talking and we agree if it’s best if you and I go back home." why what about helping the needy” Helping the needy is not worth it if we our risking our life’s to a certain extent.” Come on Annie this is a death sentence look at the neighbor’s house it blew up.” You are right.” It’s not worth it. Then I put my hand on his shoulder. It disappointed me we were here only for a few days and now we had to leave. Diego went to get the horse and buggy. We had no more luggage the neighbor’s house explosion ruined Diego’s house as well. “Clip clop I hear the horse and buggy getting closer. I got in and we were ready for our journey back to the airport. A few hours later still in the horse and buggy I hear a rustling noise near the bush. All a sudden I see four men jump out of the bush with machetes in the air running toward the buggy. “Neighhhhhh!” The horse went with terror in its eyes. The four men pushed all of us out of the court and took off with the buggy. Travis asked Diego in Spanish if we were near the city. Diego responded “si” I heard Travis sigh. “What’s wrong?” We are in the city but it is an hour walk to the airport.” Well I guess all we can do is walk.” Then we all started walking. In the humid mosquito filled weather. I pointed up in the air I see more missiles heading south of us. “Oh my.” I thought. I was glad to leave it looked like Caba is going to war with Peru again. Then I see Peruvian planes fly to the direction the missiles went at. Thirty minutes later a big Peruvian tanked rolled past us. The tank’s in year 3026 are bigger then tanks in the past and they are made with better steal. As we were walking “BOOM!”  I just witnessed the tank explode. All three started to run as fast as we can. We finally arrived in the city. Now we just need to find the airport. I see more missiles fly in the air and more explosions. I ducked incase debris fly’s at us. The three of us ducked and just ran the whole way.  I grabbed my journal and started to write in it. I believed this is going to be the end for me. I then see the Caba’s military walk past us. As I said earlier they not really tolerant. In fact I forget to mention there not human there a new alien species that demanded for a piece of Asia, or they will destroy the world. They are big and blue with many tentacles on the face with a big head. I guess they didn’t keep their promise and its happening. Then I look up and see a missile heading in my direction and this is the end. I have 45 seconds to write whoever finds this please share my story if the world not destroyed. I then hold my arms up close my eyes and wished the best for everybody out in the world.
