While Alan was frantically collecting the papers scattered all over his table, a blond-haired lass barged in behind him and yelled, "Quick, dad! Those people will reach our block soon!"
Without lifting his head, he replied, "Co By the way, Jas, have you seen that paper that I wrote on the collision between a high-density object and the sun? It has all those statistics and data on it I reirl,know as Jas, ignored her dad's sounds of protest and forcefully dragged him out of the room The situation was dire; she couldn't care less about soh the house and out onto the lawn She had been pulling hi a suitcase But, once out, they charged through the driveway and juine, he started to one now…"
Jas had not seen her father so distressed before and she was frankly quite afraid herself, but she knew that she had to take charge for both of them As she drove down the road, she turned to console her dad "No, dad Not everything's gone… We're still alive, aren't we?"
"Alive? No, we aren't alive! We're basically the walking dead! Because… well… the world's ending…" As those words left his mouth, all his spirit see blankly at the sun The sun that had given the world warht ive the world its end…
Despite being only in his early fifties, Alan was already a world-renowned astrophysicist By this tis thatbut still wouldn't have gotten
His wife, God bless her soul, departed froo, but she left hihter Overall, he felt blessed His life onderful, or as he liked to put it to hi; it wasn't by any means spectacular, and it certainly couldn't rival that of the five-star chefs, but it was about the taste of home, the taste of love, and those were Alan's favorites…
Unfortunately, that blessing went up in smoke quite drastically and it could all be traced back to the year 2027 which hen news of the discovery of an alien spacecraft by the US governht it was sohtfully surprised when he found out about the very real space-warp experiment It could be the discovery of his lifetime and thus he tried many ways to insinuate his way into this project However, his asset that usually worked in his favor, his age, turned out to be his downfall The position that he wanted was already given to his more experienced rival, an astrophysicist that enjoyed the same amount of success and fame as he did but was favored because of his seniority Of course, his rival's Nobel Prize also tipped the scales against his favor
This incident had Alan fu that there was no other option, he decided to asse infors and favors However, before his plan could even go into its first phase, the world had taken a turn for the worse
First was the disappearance of major players around the world and then were the whistlebloho leaked information like the fact that the disappeared personnel had actually escaped earth using warp technology The reason cited for their desertion was a neutron star frag towards the solar systement? Those two didn't link And how could it have suddenly appeared? It was charging towards the sun? If there was such a thing, there would have been alactic entity doesn't just appear out of thin air
Therefore, it would be safe to say that Alan was incredulous, but as more evidence and data surfaced, he started to have doubts The one piece of evidence that truly convinced hi an expert in this field, he could discern real news fro death star was very real As his university and his teas, their result was devastating… None, not a single soul would be saved If ere still within the solar systeot the result, the world started to descend into madness and anarchy Despair had a chokehold on the world and people started to look for catharsis, or in this case, scapegoats Eventually, the arot involved, but in the end, the army abandoned their responsibilities to the public; they becauns
Under those circuhter made the decision to leave the city and move to a more rural area
However, the countryside didn’t contain rated there en ly cycle of mayhe a light knock on the door, Alan opened his eyes to the interior of a decrepit cabin He quickly sat up before powerlessly cruirl with a head of hair that was barely noticeable to be blonde under its layers of mud and dirt rush to hi up? Quickly lie back down; you're still running a high fever… Dad, I want to tell you so I've found a potato faret close, but I've decided to sneak in later tonight and scavenge some potatoes for us"
Alan was ready to lie down, but after hearing that, he quickly straightened up "NO! I forbid you froo? Those rebels aren't huirl was only twelve, and she was chopped and roasted before being eaten! So no, you will not be going anywhere tonight!"
Recalling that memory, Jas paled considerably, but then Alan started to hack his lungs up, which steeled her determination As she moved to take hold of Alan, she softly said, "Don't worry, dad I'll be fine I won't actually go to the field I'll just hide myself in the drain that encircles the field We know they have no supply of electricity left, so under the cover of the night, they won't able to spotsome potatoes from the side and hurry back… Dad, we haven’t had food in almost three days We can't survive on water I could probably hold out for a whilesoon!"
Hearing her daughter's deterhtless plan, he so wanted to dissuade her, but his anxiousness et his words out before Jas added, "Dad, I'irl now! You can't tell me what not to do! I'll sneak out and ained his breath, but it was like the sickness had taken all the fight out of him The usually eloquent university professor could barely forue claied to say, "Then I' with you Two pairs of eyes are better than one I won't let you do it alone…"
