Everything we knew is gone, burnt by solar radiation, warped by diseases, and splintered by the breakdown of everything that once bound us together. Technology has failed us, and the land becomes hostile. Every day is a struggle for survival, and I can't help but wonder if we're only prolonging the inevitable. But it's not just the world that's going apart; it's also us. My friends and I, the last surviving members of a broken humanity, are plagued by what we've done, the choices we made that brought us here.  There's talk of escaping to Mars, Luna, or even Venus like those rich bastards, but I can't shake the feeling that it's just another desperate attempt to flee from the darkness that's closing in. The thought of leaving Earth, the land we once called home, brings me to tears. But staying feels like accepting an ordained fate. I'm not sure if we will make it. I'm not even sure if we deserve to. But as the world falls around us, all we have is each other—and the smallest glimmer of hope that somewhere out there, beyond the dying Earth, there may still be a chance to survive. Even if it means abandoning everything we had behind. ---Inspired by: The Maze Runner, Red Rising, Void Runner book series and the Last Of Us video game series. 3x chapters a week! 2k words each.Note: The first two chapters are longer and slow-paced, with them being around 4.5k words each but chapter 3 and on wards, the chapters are smaller and their pacing is faster.
