《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》Runaways

Izzy's pov:
I had packed my bag full of as much food and water as I could sneak out. I had also taken all my money. I had £200 pounds as everyone in the home got £10 a month and I try to save up.
Flo arrived at exactly 2:00. We left my room and started to sneak through the corridors. We got to the bathroom and Flo told me she needed to go to the bathroom. I sighed but I let her. I was just hoping and praying that no one came out of their bedroom to go to the bathroom and they saw me with my rucksack.
We would only have a few hours to get as far away from here as possible, we didn't want only a few minutes. I heard a door open and assumed it was Flo so I walked out from behind the corner. It wasn't. It was Charlie. Charlie was only 8 so I knew this could go either way.
"Why have you got a rucksack?" Charlie asked me. I couldn't think of anything. So I just stood there. Luckily Flo saved me she opened the bathroom door and told Charlie that we were having a midnight feast. She opened her rucksack and pulled out a packet of crisps.
"If you don't tell anyone you can have them." Flo said to him. He nodded grabbed the crisps and ran back to his room. I gave Flo and thankful look and we continued down the corridor.
Eventually we made it downstairs and out of the front door. Only when we were halfway down the road did we dare speak.
"I can't believe we just did that." Flo laughed slightly.
"Me neither." We laughed at ourselves.
"So where do we go then?" Flo asked me.

"I guess we just try to get out of civilisation and into the forest or something." I replied.
"I think we should head North then." Flo added. I agreed and we set off at a fast pace.
I was so happy that we had left that place.
Flo's pov:
We soon made it out of Birmingham and we continued heading North. I shivered. I probably should have worn a thicker jumper and maybe a coat. I looked over to Izzy, she was wearing her Minecraft jumper and some joggers. I wasn't sure but she was probably wearing her iBallisticSquid T-Shirt. I knew that he was her favourite YouTuber and I would constantly hear his voice while Izzy watched his videos.
We then made our way to the forest and sat down under a tree. I kept watch while Izzy slept. I wasn't too afraid of the dark although sitting in a dark forest was quite scary. I knew I would have to get over that though as the forest would probably be our knew home.
Suddenly there was a scream I turned around to see Izzy sitting up and looking like she had seen a ghost.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Don't worry, it's just a nightmare." She replied.
I knew she had nightmares every night but today was particularly bad. She had barely been asleep 5 minutes and she had already had a nightmare.
She offered to keep watch after that. Normally I would have said no but I was so tired I didn't refuse. I just lent against the tree and fell asleep.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
