Sci Fi Story

Sci Fi Story
Stu Daly
        It started off just as any other day had in the summer of 2011 which usually consisted of waking up around noon lying in bed watching sports center for an hour then decide to get up and find something to do. I call my best friend nick Dolan to see what he’s doing; we usually would go over to his house because there is more to do there. So then I call my other friend Dominic and tell him I’m going to pick him up on my way to Dolans so he better be ready. Once we all get to Dolans we do the usual and just all chill together but today is different, very different. We start out playing some call of duty like usual but then we get bored after a while and decide to go out for a walk. It was just starting to get dark around this time so it was the perfect time to go. We got some sweatshirts on and started walking. We had no plans or any idea where to go but we just felt like walking so we were going to go wherever our legs took us. We start walking down a major road not seeing much to do so we split off into a neighborhood. We start to walk through a normal suburban neighborhood while it’s getting dark. We had been walking for a while and were starting to get tired so we saw a park up ahead that we were going to rest at for a while. We get up to the park and sit down and start talking about the weird things we usually talk about. We sat there for about 20 minutes so it was pretty dark at this time but we didn’t want to head home quite yet because we were still having fun and it was better than playing video games.
So we set off on an adventure that changed our lives. We started to walk around the outside of the park and soon found a small path into the woods that we decided to take. I was in the lead with Dolan and Dominic right behind me. We began to get deeper and deeper into the woods where none of us had ever been before. Before long we can upon this awkward looking opening in the middle of the forest. We all stopped and looked at each other and decided to explore. We all look around for a while with just the light of our phones. All of a sudden I come upon this weird looking vault that looks buried in the ground and quickly tell Dominic and Dolan to come check it out. We all stood above the vault for about 5 minutes deciding what to do. After thinking about it we all decided that were going to open it up and see what’s inside so we all turn the handle and open it with all our strength. Once we get it open we look in and see nothing but a dark hole so we all stop again and wonder if we should continue. By this time I was eager to see what was in there so I was ready to go. I took the lead and started walking into the vault with little light. We walked a while into the vault when we heard to door slam behind us. We all started to panic and freak out but I calmed them down assuring them we would be able to get out so we kept going deeper into the vault. We got to what looked like the end of the long dark hallway and we all stopped. We stood there not knowing what to do when suddenly the ground fell from beneath us and we fell down into this machine. The lid closed and something happened that I wasn’t able to explain but as soon as it happened it was over and the lid opened again. We all looked at each other with a puzzled looks on our faces. We didn’t feel any different or look any different but we were still afraid of the vault being locked so we got out of this machine and went back to the opening. The door was closed but there was a handle on the inside that let us all out. When we got outside everything looked the same way it had when we went in so we didn’t think much of it. It was getting pretty late so we all decided we’d go back to Dolans to sleep. We start to walk out of the park and get closer to some main roads and begin to realize that there are no cars on the road. We look at our phones and it was still only 11:30 at night on a Saturday so there should have been cars on the road. We began to worry that something had happened. We got back to Dolans and realized that no one was at his house, now we really started to worry. So we get in my car and drive to my house, we still didn’t see a car on the road. When we got to my house we all went in and no one was there. We took out our phones and tried to call everyone we knew but no one would answer. At this point we thought there is no way we could be the only ones around where is everyone? So we continued to drive around looking for people but there was no one to be found. It looked like everyone had just disappeared and left us the world just how it was. We all looked at each other and thought could this really be happening? We have the whole world to ourselves? It was sort of a bitter sweet moment because we had lost all our family and our loved ones but we still had each other and the world to ourselves. We started planning out some of the first things that we were going to do. We didn’t need money or anything anymore everything in the world now belonged to us. The first thing we wanted to do was get the fastest cars as we could and joy ride them around so we took my car to the dealership and got in some brand new corvettes. Next we wanted to get out of Minnesota and go somewhere warmer but we couldn’t fly because none of us knew how to fly a plane so we had to drive. We hit the road stopping anywhere we wanted; it was one of the greatest feelings in the world. We decided our destination would be California, because it wasn’t as far as Florida and it was still a fun place to be, plus we could stop by Las Vegas on the way. We would drive for most of the day and sleep wherever we wanted at night we usually tried to find the nicest hotel or house to sleep in. Everything in the stores was ours so we had unlimited food and anything else we needed. We were having the times of our lives living in this party world, the world was our playground and we were like little kids eager to get out and play.
We finally arrived in Las Vegas it was about 10 o’clock pm and all the lights were still on. I had to idea of getting crotch rockets to drive around the city. It was faster than cars and way more fun. All the guys agreed with me instantly so we searched for some fast motorcycles. After that we explored around the whole city of Vegas it, I saw some things that I will never forget. we were having a great time but we all started to miss our families, we knew that it was just us now so we had to be a close family so we had a toast to sticking together forever no matter what to make sure that we all lived the best life possible now that it was just us three left. We also wanted to search for more people to save the earth and the human race. But we were going to have fun while we did it so we continued to trash Las Vegas and after that night we kept living our lives happy with no regrets.
