TM: Talk about something you inherited.

Jul 29, 2006 21:09

Sixteen years ago, all of us kids, everyone under the age of 11, inherited exactly the same thing. The world. The whole world, with no one to run it. No curfews or homework. No chores or anyone to order us around; to tell us when to go to bed or what eat. No one left to say what we could or couldn't do. Because they were gone. All gone. Every adult. We watched them all die. And then we were alone. Just us kids with the world to ourselves, a broken hand-me-down wrapped up in fire and blood and destruction.

Know that old saying? The one that says the meek shall inherit the earth? Well, it came true. And it sucks.
