Lost
"Tiana Morgan". I get up out of my chair to get upon to the stage. Finally, graduation. I sent four years to get my degree in arts. I gave up everything just to get to this point. No one was going to stop me.
I climb up the steps and take my diploma. It feels so good to be done with all of the studying.
After the ceremony Tasha my best friend walks up to me. "Hey girl! We finally graduated!". We hug and jump around like idiots. "Yes, finally no more studying! I can finally get my dream job".
We turned and walked outside. Her parents came up to us looking proud of their daughter. Her mother embraces us both. "Tasha Iam so proud of you! and you too Tiana." She starts crying.
Her father hugs her mother to calm her down. "Hun no crying this is a celebration!". She sniffles "I know but I am just so proud". Her father grabs her and hugs her tight.
I look upon them in silence. Me and Tasha grew up together. I would go to her home and play along with my brother. When my parents passed in a plane crash. My brother and I had to go from foster-to-foster home until we turned 18. We both just ended up staying together. Speak of the devil.
"Sis where you at?" I turn to see my brother Lane running towards me with a camera. "Ready to go? we might miss the subway if we are too late". Sigh he had to remind me of reality. How poor we are that we don't even have a car like everyone else.
"Alright let's go. See you later Tasha". I wave goodbye to her and her family. "Oh, Tiana you sure you don't want to come with us? we are going to Olive Garden!". I shake my head. "No thanks Mrs. Ganier. Me and my brother are going home to celebrate."
"Well ok sweety enjoy your collage free day". I turn to follow my brother down to the subway. I walk with my brother seeing all the women eyeing him as usual. My brother was like my opposite. Brown hair dyed with green tips. He always keeps his hair long in the front covering his eyes and short on the sides. With his green eyes it makes him look like a bad boy heart throb. He is like a walking billboard. At 6'2 and muscular he cant help but catch every girl's eye.
Me on the other hand I have white, blond hair with baby blue eyes from my mother. Short at 5'4 with DD boobs. I was super curvy compared to my brother. You would think that would turn heads but nope. To most guys I wasn't even there.
I look up at the crowd around me. 30 minutes until the subway aways.
I turn my head and see a gorgeous guy with black long hair in a man bun. Wow he is gorgeous. Beautiful baby blue eyes and sun kissed skin. On the shorter side but the right muscular mix. You can tell he has a six pack. If only I could get someone like that to come home with me.
I look to my right and see another handsome hunk. This one surrounded by women. Not as big as the other guy. Lean and maybe same height. Cocoa brown skin with curly long afro that reminded me a bit of a mop full of curls. He was leaning on the wall while the girls fight over him. His eyes the color of caramel. You can tell by the air he gives off he had a ego a mile wide. He knew what he was doing to those girls, and he was enjoying it.
In front of me I see another good-looking guy. Well, more like a man. This dude was a beast. Huge with muscles on top of muscles. He had on all black like a bouncer at a club. His hair was dyed a dark blue and cut into a curly mohawk. Not one inch of fat on him. Hazle eyes and huge biceps. He looks Spanish descent. I hear him cussing at his partners in Spanish. Just listening to him talk does all kinds of things to me.
This I so not healthy to fantasize over complete strangers.
While fantasizing the train arrives. Everyone hops on. I hate the train. So cramped with so many people. Not like we have a choice anymore. Mr. baby blues sits next to me texting with an angry expression on his face. Must be his girlfriend.
Mr. Ego was not too far away. Holding on to one of the poles while the girls chatted his head off. You can tell by the bored expression he was done with it.
Mean whole Mr. Big and delicious was right across from me on his cell.
Well least I have eye candy on this train. I get comfortable. My brother next to me also texting like everyone else. I swear cell phones are the devil.
All of a sudden, the ground shakes. Everyone scrambles to hold on to something. The shaking gets worse. I end up falling on Mr. blue eyes. He grabs me to keep me from falling onto the floor. We both look at each other for a split second until another shake happens.
At that moment the subway train comes out of the tunnel into the sunlight, and we arrive at the craziest scene. The sky was blood red. huge balls of rock raining down and destroying everything. The entire city was on fire. All you can hear are screams. We all run to the windows and watch in silence as everything we knew and loved was extinguished.
One of those huge rocks were headed straight for us. "Everyone jumps out of the train now!" Screams someone from up front. Too late the meteor crashes into our train and knocks us all into the ocean.
The subway sinks with us drowning with it. I look around and can't find my brother. I take my foot and kick one of the glass windows open. I swim out into the world above. I decide to go back down to see if I can help anyone who may be stuck.
I swim back down and see a group of small animals struggling to get out. I am puzzled where everyone else is. I grab the small creatures and swim to the nearest beach. I lay them on the beach and turn to go back to check again.
This time I find two monkeys. Sadly, some of the animals didn't make it. I see a camel floating along many other animals. Some wearing human clothing. I grab every other animal that was still alive and lay them on the beach with the others.
I climb out confused. What is going on?? Why was the subway full of animals. Where are the people?
At that moment the biggest lion I ever seen climbs out of the water and shakes the water off itself.
What is a lion doing in New York?!
