The Light


                2045. Malaysia. 

                This place is becoming the devil’s playground. People kill each others to get the clean air. People steps on the others head to get water, food. Devils laugh at the human as the human slowly becoming like them. Eyes turn red, everybody is having devil’s like mask on their face. To breath. The masks hides their feeling, hide their identity. Making them not shame and do everything that they want.

                Fear of light. It destroys everything. Almost everyone can see, at that time, one small line of light on the sky. Shiny. Not long after it passed by, everything is gone. Disaster. Asteroid, Alien invasion, American missile, and many theories are said. The debate of the reason is quickly disappeared as the resources are depleted. Lack of clean water, the air condition that is deteriorates day after day. Everyone only thinking about survive. Devils play their role, whispering the bad ways to live.

                Everything is in ruins. There’s no building, apart from the ruins, covered by ashes, molds. People living under the ground, in small hole that they dug by themselves, covered by the destroyed doors. Living like a mole. Sleep in daytime, go out in night to get the living supply, water and food. Becoming scavenges, eaten of rotten food. Becoming cannibals. Waiting for a hope that will never arriving.
