Hi my name is Orphen. I live with my mom and my baby sister Anna. Our house is located on top of a hill far away from all danger. It is also located in the safe zone.
(the safe zone is an area where no creatures can get there. A loud siren is activated if any Hellion passes the security. This siren alerts everyone and people can evacuate.)
We pretty much lived on this hill for three years. I always help my mom with cleaning and cooking.
"Mom, do i put these wet clothed in the dryer" i said
"No Orphen! They go outside on the clothing line" said mom
"huh?...isn't a dryer easier and more faster?"
"The clothes will shrink if you put them in the dryer, and you know that we can't afford to buy many clothes" said mom
My mom works really hard to feed me and my sister. We don"t have enough money to pay bills and pay for clothes. The students in school make fun of me because of this, but i don't care about what they say.
"Owphren...when are you going to play dollies with me" said Anna
"I will, wait a minute Anna, I need to help mom" i said
"You NEVER, play with me, hmph!"
"I just played with you 2 hours ago" I said
"That's two hours ago! I'm talking about now"
"*sigh*"
Anna is my little sister. She is very bossy but she is also kind. Anna is only 3 years younger than me, but she acts like she is 3 years older. Sometimes I ask myself "how did she get so bossy?". Since Anna demanded me to play with her, I couldn't refuse.
"Anna, i will play dollies with you" i said
"yaah!"
After an hour of torture, I realized that mom was sleeping on the coach in the living room. I went upstairs to get a blanket so I can cover her up. Since mom was asleep, I thought that it was a good idea to water the plants outside the patio. As I walked outside to water the plants, there was a peculiar smell coming from the bottom of the hill. it almost smelt like something was rotting. I ran down the hill as fast as i can. I kept thinking ti myself "what if someone got hurt?" or "what if my neighbor was hurt?". I didn't want anything to happen to them. I followed the path that lead to this smell. It looked like there was a blood trail on the path. I knew for a fact that someone must have got hurt. It also seemed like this person got dragged. I kept on running and trying to look for the the person who was injured. While I was running, the smell got even stronger, and it made me want to hurl. Suddenly, I heard an explosion. All I had to do was go around the neighbor's cabin and I will find out what happened. As I went around the cabin, I saw the most terrifying thing. I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew that this was the end.
