There are things that only the president knows. Had he told us the truth, no one would have believed him. When he was elected he seemed obsessed with building a wall at the border. Lots of the older generation supported him. However, the younger ones we thought in a way he was crazy. 

None of us ever thought we would see a wall being built, but it happened. The wall was huge and filled with an electric current. Just staring at it, could cause you to be electrified.

News from Mexico was hidden. No one came to America easily anymore. In a way, it was like we shut our doors to helping others. I can never forget the day when the news announced that Mexico had fallen.

It had dawned on us that the people coming here were not fleeing their government, but they were fleeing something else entirely. We had locked them in there with no escape. 

The footage on t.v. did not tell us what happened but there were no longer any more people to keep out of America. Everyone in Mexico was dead. All the men, women, children were gone. All the livestock, animals, pets, birds in the sky all vanished. 

The president then ordered an evacuation of the states near the border.  Lots of people refused. This was our home. From the small town in Texas, I could hear its screaming. 

It started out almost like a whisper, but as the days went by the sound became a loud scream. It got closer and closer. The news captured the horror that was unfolding perfectly. 

Everything we had known was to be a lie. It was coming for us. The president had that wall built to keep it away. He refused to let the people enter to give it something to eat. 

He just bought us more time. There was no stopping it. My eyes were glued to the screen as I watched the newscast. The shrieks were louder, echoing through the air. My t.v. crackled as if the speakers were about to bust at any moment. 

A mysterious fog rolled across the screen. All I could hear was them screaming. Everything went blank. The news went off the air. Tears rolled down my face. I knew for certain, it was heading this way.

I quickly packed my bags. Clothes, toothbrush, cans of food, water, and anything else I thought I would need for survival. I threw it all into the trunk of my car. Not far in the distance, I could hear the shrieking. 

It was getting closer. I drove off quickly. It seemed everyone had the same idea. I was stuck in traffic for who knows how long. From the distance, I could see a fog heading my way. I decided to abandon my car.

I saw the news. I knew what it meant. I didn't bother warning anybody. I knew it would be too late. Behind me, I could hear the screaming. Frightened cries filled the air. 

I had to block out the sounds and keep going. Don't stop I told myself. It is right behind you. For two days I kept moving. I was too paranoid to sleep. The fog could roll up on me and I wouldn't be able to see it in the darkness.

I have started to hallucinate. I can still hear its shrieking and all those people screaming behind me. We deserved this. We trapped them inside with that thing. We deserve this. America is falling.

I can not run anymore. That thing never sleeps. I can hear its shrieking getting closer. My time is coming. I can't keep moving. If you are reading this keep moving. Stay away from the roads. Stay away from large groups of people. It is coming.
