《In Pursuit Of Accolades》World of Screams
Advertisement
Introspection is an overrated form of introduction. Go with the flow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up to the sound of agonizing screams.
They came from all around me, through the walls and vents. There was pain in the voices. Sounds of anguish and loss.
The cries pressed deep into my eardrums, sending me into a deep spiral of despairing emotions that I had felt during my earlier encounter with the wisp.
I looked frantically around the room, not fully understanding what was going on.
Half awake and afraid I looked for anyone who could explain what was happening...
"Goodmorning Greg"
The screaming of the world stopped, and turned towards the voice instantly.
My roommate was on his bed, looking dazed as his listless eyes were directed upwards towards the sky. Directly through the window.
It was early morning as far as I could see. The light presented itself as cold grey beams upon his face. The room was silent for a single moment...
He tilted his head to look at me.
Looking but not seeing.
"Who am I Greg?"
I heard the sound of synchronous shatter ring out through the building.
The cacophony of sounds that followed depicted the methods many took to end their lives.
I hold my hands to my ears trying to drown out the horrible screeching of the failed attempts.
People who begged to the heavens for a faster death.
Minutes later as I uncovered my ears. I heard a small gurgling sound.
Looking at him I stared into those vapid eyes. I witnessed his final moments as the razor dropped out of a cold hand.
I remember his last question. But I don't know the answer either.
Running I duck out the door and dash down the hallway.
Looking for anyone else I see a small flashing grey symbol on my hand.

After looking at it once, a grey screen immediately moved to fill my vision.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
