To the End
It is the year 4025,it was creating a mess. The tension that rises up in the news papers, news channels, radios, space and environmental departments.

The sun is growing dangerously and is too close to the Earth. It is said that the sun will swallow the Earth. There was no correct order of day and night. Nobody knows the correct time ,a day is of 12 hours and a year of 150 days .The global warming is the major cause of destruction .The earth's surface is too hot,there are no winter or rainy seasons. Man is making their own trees and water.But the trees are dying fast and the people are dying from lack of oxygen. There are frequent earthquakes around the Earth, Many Dormant Volcanoes that were sleeping through centuries are bursting and floods and tsunamis are destroying the coastal regions.

It was a normal day, I was sleeping with my younger brother at my side. Suddenly the bed started to shake vigorously, I was wide awake and realized that it was an earthquake ,I ran out ,with my brother in my arms .The people were running out in a certain direction, while on the opposite direction the buildings were falling and crushing the people within. I ran with the people in the same direction, there was a transportation chamber near the city airport organized by the government for disaster situations.

I was running fast but tripped on my own steps , I was about to be crushed by the people, but a pair of hands pulled me onto the side ,it was Andrew ,my friend and classmate. I opened my mouth-

"No time to waste!"He exclaimed.

We ran down the road at the highway bridge , which was built near the coast .We were running as fast as we could but , everything turned quiet. The bridge started to shake rapidly ,my brother was in my arms ,as Andrew hold me close .But a great crowd of people came running down the bridge that was built on the sea shore.My arms went loose and my brother got lost in the great surge of people. I struggled to get myself free, but Andrew held me tightly.


We arrived the chamber, I was all broken ,I made the biggest mistake anybody can do!I was crying out as I freed myself from Andrew's grip and ran in between the crowd .He ran after me shouting my name and convincing me that my brother is gone! I didn't listen a single word and ran back to the long cleared bridge.I shouted his name ,running around. I was all tired and my legs aching. Suddenly, I heard a weak voice ,as I turned to the side and saw my brother .I took some steps towards him,but the bridge started to shake again.

I ran towards him , but failed .A gigantic tsunami wave crashed against the bridge,
breaking it apart .My heart stopped beating as every thing went black.
