Chapter 1

My eyes fell open.

'What happening? Where am I?' 

It's a little difficult to breathe.

'Everything seems extra fuzzy today. Where are my glasses?'

I tried to raise my head but fell and hit my head instead. 

'I felt sleepy......'

I woke up again. I raise my right hand to support myself. But nothing happens.

'My right arm isn't moving? Did I slept too much? Is it numb or something?'

Everything started to clear up bit by bit. It's very dark.

'Is it still night? Did I wake up early?'

I tried to move my legs.

'Legs too, huh? is it like sleep paralysis (where a person's mind remains active but the body is in sleep mode)? I always did want to experience it Or could it be that my whole body got numb?'

It's getting a bit difficult to breathe.

My eyes starting to get adjusted to the dark.

'is that moon? did I slept in the open?'

It started to clear up. At a distance, there was a dark cloud of gas rising.

'is that smoke? is there a fire nearby?'

I tried to move and roll my head but again nothing happened.

'Uh! just when will my body get responsive? How long will it take?'

I tried to remember about the previous day. Last thing i remember I was eating lunch with my family.

'Huh! what happened after that? I don't quite remember....'

My neck started to move a little. I tried to move my neck to the right. After a great deal of time, i finally looked to the right.

'What is that? are that rocks? where did all that rocks come from?'

I looked at my body.

My eyebrows rose up. My eyes open wide.

'is that b.. b.. blood?'

There's just blood at my shoulder and nothing beneath.

'My arm? My arm! MY ARM!!!'

I tried to shout but there was no cry only some muffled sound.

Breathing is getting a lot more difficult now.

'What happened? Where am I? Did I get kidnapped or something?'

I tried to breathe more and more air but it's getting more and more harder.

'Calm down! Calm the fuck down!!!'

I started to take long breaths. It doesn't help much but my breathing rate slows down.

With horror and dread, I tried to look to my left. My left arm was there. It was torn up at multiple places but it at least it was there.

'Ok. It's OK. Nothing to worry about. Just calm down.'

I tried to move my left arm and legs. First, they didn't respond but slowly my left arm got responsive.

I tried to get up with the support of my left arm.

'Fuck! FUCK!'

There was nothing beneath my torso....

My eyes got teary.

'Oh! I am going to die.'

I laughed. Why the hell is the thought of dying so mundane?

With tears flowing down my eyes and a crooked smile on my face, I may have looked like a maniac to anyone watching.

Breathing just got more harder.

I tried to drag my body with the support of my remaining arm to the nearby piece of some big rock.

I succeded but in the process, my intestines got uncoiled and lay on the floor. Breathing got slower and slower as I stop trying to breathe harder. I tried not to look at it. I just knew if I vomit now I will die. Well, give or take, I have only 5 to 10 min of life.

With the elevation of the rock, i finally looked at my surrounding. I was surprised which is surprising since I am going to die. My crooked smile got wider at that thought.

Neither I was kidnapped nor I was in the open. It is my home's dining room. The assumed rocks are pieces of the collapsed ceiling. There was a great deal of them too.

'Did the gas cylinder burst? What happened?'

I tried to think about yesterday and the last memory of the lunch with my family. I remember there was a flash and everything got white.

'Is mom and dad fine? maybe ambulance took them?'

I tried to look around but there was just a great deal of debris. 

'Why didn't they take me?'

I looked at my rightmost side which I was avoiding because of my bloodied shoulder. The entire wall was nowhere and there was a large crater a kilometer wide and dozens of meters deep. There was something blue-white thing pulsing at the center. I tried to focus on it but it was far away. I tried to look at my leftmost side and saw there was a big gap in the wall on the leftmost side. Peeking through I found my destroyed neighborhood, every building is just a ruble of debris now and smoke rises through some of them.

'Oh! So there was no gas cylinder explosion. No ambulance. Did maybe Mom and Dad die too?'

Gathering all my strength, I tried calling them. Maybe they survived like me or were under some debris.

"MO....MOM...D...DAD"

A crooked voice emerged. Hardly louder than a normal person's voice. But just this much is enough to vomit blood. 5min life just got converted to 1min.

Nonone answered. I tried very hard to hear anything. Even some vibration or some rustling. But Nothing.

'So I am alone I guess'

At that thought, a deep pain settled in. No longer smiling. Tears flowing like a river. Looking at the rubble of my house. Thinking that they are there somewhere beneath the debris hurts. It hurts. It hurts too very much.

Only wisps of breath getting through now.

'Tired. I am so very tired...'

'Did someone attack our country? is it a missile strike? Or some meteor crashed?'

'At least they died before me. Well, no point in brooding too much. I will be joining them soon.'

I never believed in any religion before. Thought that it was just to appease the people to forget their fear of death. I thought when I will die I will be just no more like animals. Nothing after. 

I felt relieved at the thought of joining my parents soon. Is it the drug religion sold? I can get high on this. Logic is no longer needed after all.

I stopped breathing some time ago. My heart stops slowly bit by bit. With my worries disappearing, I looked back at my life.

Looking back at life while waiting for the last breath to die out, Ron finds his life thoroughly mundane and uninteresting. Surprisingly, he didn't experience fear and dread, like he always imagined, at moments before death. He felts surprisingly contentment since no one will be sad after his death as his parents were gone too. 

His heart stopped. Glassy blue eyes looking at the moon. A moment before his brain stops. A blue-white light passed over him.

The last thing he saw in his mind was 

""INITIATING RANDOM GENESIS""
