Don't Trust the Past
As ash rains down outside the cracked window, I sigh and look at the bed where my husband lies, dying. I can't speak another word to him, as he doesn't seem to hear me. He breathed in too much of the fumes from the war, fighting on the front lines. That's what they'd done to us–the poor people, first to be drafted and last to be let go. Unfortunately, he'd been let go too late.

The Meteor Conspiracy
I was fourteen when the meteors hit Earth. We didn't have much warning, mere days to figure out a way to preserve the survival of humanity. Unfortunately, most people didn't make it, lost to the fires and the ash that culminated in the atmosphere. My dad, a military man, gained our family access to an underground shelter made for cataclysmic events. He brought my mom, my younger brother, and me with him. My mom died shortly after, the lethal fumes having settled in her lungs beyond hope of recovery. I am now seventeen, still living in the shelter with a mixture of politicians and military members.
