What would you do on the last day on Earth
Everyone thought it would come, the end of the world. Couple of weeks before the so-called Judgement Day, there were numerous UFO sightings, NASA said that meteorite is going to pass the Earth on that day and there was also a number of mass suicides.
Me and my friends ignored everything and focused on planing biggest parties which would leave mark on history. Anyone who will be at the party is not going to die alone or at least not without fun. It was the idea of parties.
Two weeks later on Judgement Day. I gathered with my friends at festival place early in the morning. We were all in the same boat, we had no information about what would happen. Only obvious thing was that we celebrate properly. Hours passed, the evening came and a large number of partygoers had come to place. It was only seven hours to midnight and anything had not yet occurred. Like the world would come to a halt and waiting something to happen.
Let’s get this party started, I said to the microphone and put the music on. It is the last thing I remember. The next day I woke up on my own vomit and I noticed that the apocalypse didn’t come. There were no volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or other the end of the world related.
Years have passed since that day, and people are now waiting for the new end of the world. Me and my friends are planing to have new the end of the world parties which will be even bigger than the previous. I hope that the end of the world not come this time either.

Dreaming the future
HELP HELP! I heard a women screaming for her baby girl. I tried to look for the baby, but it was impossible, the mist prevented my sight completely. The ground started shaking strongly and the air got colder and colder each second. I got panicked, I had no idea what was going on. I tried to see something, maybe a clue of what the hell was happening, but no. People screamed for help, and I heard buildings collapse. All I could do was hope that soon everything will go back to normal..
While praying, in the middle of all the heartbreaking voices, I heard something that sounded very familiar to me. First i wasnt sure, but while walking towards the voice I couldn’t belive my ears. The voice that made my heart scream for more and forget all the pain and struggle I’ve had to go through my live, was a voice of a girl, a voice of an angel I so loved.
We used to be best friends, she helped me when I was in most pain. But that’s what we’ve only been, best friends… Few years ago she had to move to California and that’s when my downhill in life began.
I ran towards her as fast as I could. I screamed her name, she turned around and saw me. I saw her face change from the verge of tears to a beautiful smile. She started running. Right when I was about to catch her, she disappeared and I woke up. Again that dream. I had seen that same dream ever since she moved away and I’ve wondered if it had a meaning or was the dream trying to tell me something. I looked at my clock, it was 10:32 am. I started wondering why in Gods name it was so dark in my apartment. Usually the sun shined through my window in the mornings, so I thought maybe there is a storm coming. I walked to my window to see the weather, and then my heart stopped beating. I saw people running all around, the sky was darker than ever and a huge mist cloud was coming towards the city ! I started feeling a bitter coldness in my skin. It was like everything was happening in the precise order like in my dream! I ran out, hoping for one and only thing, to see my girl again. Despite the mist that prevented my sight, I ran as fast as i could trying to find her.
I ran and ran but without any results. I couldn’t find her, i started losing my hopes. Maybe I was going crazy, thinking that everything would happen like in my dream, maybe it was just coincidence that all these indescribable weather changes were happening. Right when I was about to lose my hope completely, I heard a voice. The same voice I heard every night in my dreams. I started running as fast as I could with all my strength that was left. The ground started shaking but I kept running. The voice got stronger and stronger, I screamed her name, hoping for a response. Seconds seemed like years while I was running and hoping for an answer. But then I heard an angel shout my name. ”Mike, Mike! Where are you…”
I felt her warmth in me. She still had the same fragrance she had before. ”What is happening??” She asked me! I told her that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything, shes safe with me. I remembered in my dream a place, a place were the weather changes and earthquakes wouldnt reach. I took her hand and told her to never let go of it at any cause. We ran over all the obstacles that were on our way, and reached our so-called safe place. We were in the middle of a field, and first she doubted, but I told her to trust me. We closed our eyes and hoped this catastrophe would end.

PS. Use your imagination to end the story 😀
The earthquake caused havoc.
Five years ago my dad built a holiday home to Florida Miami. For me it was a hide-away from being bullied and being nobody. I was bullied because four years ago when my dad and my brother past away in a tragic car accident I changed and I didn’t tell anyone about it. I was popular and I wanted that no one would see my weakness. I shaved my hair off and I pushed everyone away. I tried to get my old life back but no one wanted to be my friend even though I got my hair back and started dress the way I dressed before. In Miami I could be the person who I was before bullying. I was adored and I had friends there. That’s why I loved that place.
Everything changed two years ago when me, my mom and my five years old sister were on a holiday in our holiday home. My sister and my mom were in the beach and I was trying to find a gift for my sister’s birthday. Suddenly the earth began to quake. I was in a little jewelry boutique and all the shelves fell around me. I ran from the building when it started to collapse. Before I was out of the building I noticed that a little boy who was looking for his parents was in dangerous to be trapped. I lift him into my arms and ran out. I couldn’t find the boy’s parents, so I took him with me. I was worried about my mom and my sister, but luckily they were on the beach and there were no buildings near. The earthquake caused havoc. I tried to find a place where we could be safe. I tried not to look at the people who had died around us and I tried to stay calm but I couldn’t prevent tears. When I found a place where there was no danger. I sat down and pressed the boy against me. I closed my eyes and waited a time when the quake would end.
When the quake ended I rose up and looked around me. I saw people crying and trying to find their friends and relatives. I was thrilled when I saw my mom and my sister who came up to me. My mum hugged me and she was happy to see me.
We went to the police station and we found the boy’s parents. They hugged me when they saw me carrying their son. They asked my name and my address and they said that they will make sure that I will get some reward, but I said that I don’t need anything. My mom was happy that she had also found me. We went to see what had happened to our house and luckily it was okay.
After two weeks from the earthquake, I got a phone call from some journalist who wanted to write a story of me saving that boy.
Nowadays I have friends in my school and no one is bullying me anymore. I will never forget those days but I am happy that I can be me again.

The Day After Tomorrow
The end of the world as we know it
It is the year 2022 and the world is in the brink of destruction. In the year 2020 the world ran out of oil . It was the first of many disasters we would face. Year after the oil chaos, scientists found out that a giant meteoroid was on its way to hit earth. It was like a final blow to the humankind. When the meteoroid hit earths surface the whole planet moved. The whole North-America was totally destroyed by it and the rest of the world was in total darkness for months because of the dust and fumes that came from the meteoroid.
I’m Paavo Tatti and I was a reporter for the CNN before it all went down.
The dust from the asteroid hasn’t gone away yet and the people are getting restless. The world is split in two those who oppose the newly formed ‘world government’ that rules everything now, and to those that support the ‘world government’. I’m trying to stay neutral and I try not to actively support neither of the groups. Since both parties are very aggressive against people who don’t agree with them.
When the oil disaster started I was sent to middle-east to make a story about the oil loss. Finally I when I had finished my report and I was starting to head back to Seattle where my wife and my one and a half year old boy were waiting for me. To the normal people living in the North-America there was no information about the asteroid. Only the high ranking government officers knew about the asteroid and they were taken somewhere else. When the asteroid finally hit it ended the lives of 300 million people.
When it happened I was sitting unaware at my plane that was just about to take off from Abu-Dhabi’s airport. The world suddenly shook with a magnitude of 6 richters all over the world, so massive was the hit of the asteroid.
The whole world went in to a chaos, buildings collapsed, cities were set on fire and peoples were frantically trying to find their close-ones. In the middle of the chaos no government really minded other countries and focused mainly on their own country. It took almost 12 hours to people in Europe to figure out that the whole north-America was totally destroyed.
The airport was immediately evacuated including all the planes that about to take off. As I thought that this is only a local earthquake I wasn’t so worried as I had experienced many earthquakes before including the Japans 2011 earthquake and many others not so significant. I had to walk away from the airport back to my hotel because the streets were filled with people that had been evacuated from their houses and offices. When I finally arrived at the hotel the situation was finally settled. At my hotel room I immediately turned the TV on as I wanted to hear the devastation the earthquake had made. To my shock I learned that it was not just a local earthquake but it had quaked the whole world. Situation in Europe terrible the shock was the worst there, according the news. The whole northern Europe was devoured by the sea, only the southern tip of Finland, Sweden and Norway were saved from the sea. As I had relatives in Finland I was terrified to hear their fate.
From my relatives my mind turned back to my wife that was waiting for me at Seattle. I dialed her number and wished she would answer. Alas, it went straight to her voice-mail.
As I was about to call her again I heard the news anchor say that there was no contact to USA and no one knew how bad the situation there were.
I knew that I had to think quickly and get back to USA as fast as possible. I decided to run back to the airport and try and convince someone to fly me to Europe and there I would continue my journey back to USA. As I ran to the airport the news images of the destruction of Europe flashed in my eyes. Gladly the airport was not far away. When I got to the airport security officer told me at the door that the runway was damaged and they had canceled every flight of the week. I knew there was no way I could bribe my way from here.
Then suddenly I remembered that my French friend called Pierre was also here on a vacation and he had come to Abu-Dhabi with his own plane. I was just about to dial his number to my phone as I saw him talking to the same security guard that I had just a moment ago talked. As I ran to him I heard him yell at the security officer something about that he had a right to go to his plane and get the F off of this country. As I got to them the security officer was just about to take his taser away from his belt. I ran between them and told the security officer that I would take care of him and he would no longer bother him. We pushed through the crowd to the nearest ally, there I told him that I had to get out of there. I told him that no had been able to contact anyone in North or in south America, they say it is just a signal loss or something like that and nothing serious but I had had a bad feeling about it all since I heard about it. He agreed with me that we should get away from here and get to Europe as soon as we could. The only problem was that we weren’t allowed to take off of the as the runway was still damaged.
We didn’t care about the runway so we decided to sneak our way there and takeoff without permission.
At night as thousands of people were rioting in front of the airport we decided to sneak our way from the back. We successfully got to the airstrip. From the another end of the airstrip we had to sneak our way to the hangar are where Pierre’s plane was kept. Finally we got to the plane, Pierre immediately started making preparations for lift off. As we were about to start moving the security saw us and called an alarm. Pierre immediately pushed the gas pedal and we flew from the plane hall and after a few minutes we were in the sky free from boundaries.
After flying six hours straight we started landing to some airfield in France. As we walked out of the plane and headed to the terminal I saw that news were running on television I grabbed Pierre so he could translate news to English. What I heard was devastating. I learned in one minute that all life on North-America was destroyed with my wife and my newborn child.
Pierre tried to comfort me but it was useless my life had no meaning without my wife, my child or my relatives. I booked one hotel room from the airport hotel for two nights. This is the last night. Now that I have shared my life story with you, I’m going end it here and now so I can once again see my family and friends that were taken from me. Farewell.

Surviving from the extensive catastrophe
10 years. It has been ten years already from the most extensive environmental catastrophe the world could ever have. It destroyed the world. The amounts of who survived are and I am unfortunately one of them. It is unfortunate because we -the one who survived had to begin to live again, start to build everything like in the beginning.
Let me tell you what happened. People polluted the environment badly for so long and I think the World took revenge on us people and the most voluminous environmental catastrophe occurred. There were many things people could do but we were too selfish, we only thought about ourselves and did not care about what is going on with the World not to mention the fact that we did not care about ourselves and animals. We waged wars and we did not care about animal rights. Nevertheless, we knew what could happen but we did not want to change and that was the problem. Gradually the World changed dramatically or we could say it was the climate change. Most people did not fight climate change so here was the result- environmental catastrophe that ended the World.
You might think now how I survived, right? Well, I was one of those who did care about environment and tried to do everything so we could continue live on this beautiful planet and I think the World saw it and saved me. Nowadays I am trying to survive each day because the World hasn’t healed. People have no job –nothing, we are just wondering around and doing the farm so we could get something to eat. I am hoping that one day the World would be beautiful again and we could maintain the peace.

The Mysterious Earthquake
Its been exactly 10 years from the mysterious earthquake, that almost destroyed the whole city of New York.
It was year 1990 and it was a beautiful summer day. I was sipping coffee at my deck and listening birds sing and make noise. I could feel the summer breeze flirting in my hair and hear the trees around me shuffling gently from side to side.
All the sudden I heard screaming. Right after that I felt it. The whole ground started shaking, and the quake strengthened and got worse. I fell to the ground and sink into unconsciousness.
The day i woke up I didn’t know where I was or what had happened. I was confused. I was in the hospital. After a talk with the doctor I started to understand it. It had all been a dream. I heard that I had been in a car accident and I had lost my consciousness for over two years. My mom had died in the accident and there was just me and my dad left.
How did the dream seem so real? It felt like just a short moment but in reality I had been unconscious for so long? I guess that is something I can never figure out. All I can be certain of is that I´m lucky to be alive and that is a true miracle!

Destruction of the Earth we used to have
It is year 2021 and I’m one of the survivors. I used to be a wealthy business woman and I had everything I could ever dream of – a loving family, wonderful friends, successful career and a gorgeous apartment. But now, 10 years later, I’m struggling for life. Some people might say that I am one of the lucky ones –at least I’m still alive, right? Nonetheless I don’t feel that lucky. I have no idea where my family and friends are, are they safe or if they even survived.
Natural disasters had been increasing at a fast speed for a long time. Still, people lived the same way they always had, polluting more and more. My guess is that our poor planet just couldn’t take it anymore and that’s why this all happened. Less important things such as one’s properties were left behind when people tried to escape from the tsunamis that hit all over the world at the same time.
When these tsunamis took place, I happened to be on a business trip in Switzerland. I had just arrived to the Alps to spend some of my free time downhill skiing. Being on the mountains at the time when floods arrived secured my safety but it’s also the reason why I am separated from my family and friends.
Because of tsunamis, people are living on the mountains, where it is possible to live safe from the floods. Although sometimes, when there are earthquakes happening in the bottom of the ocean, the quake’s epicenter is close enough to cause a tsunami that makes the valley flood. Life has changed a lot from what it was ten years ago. If only we had lived respecting our planet instead of destroying it, things would be a whole lot different now.
