The Land of Famine
A Young boy was wandering around an endless wasteland, he had nothing to eat ever since he ran out of stored food. He never could find water in this wasteland, he seemingly couldn’t die from dehydration, but he still felt the pain from it. The boy had to always hide within the buildings around the wasteland as blizzards appeared every once in a while, but the blizzards were abnormal. Each time the blizzards were scarlet red, and when they hit buildings, it would be like a web. The first time he had hid, he made the mistake of being near the windows of the building as they were reinforced. The boy heard footsteps outside from a giant being, then a sharp hand broke through the wall. The man immediately ran back down the building to the basement. After the blizzard was gone, He found the entire rest of the building obliterated. From that time on, the boy would not go near any windows during the blizzards. Walking for a few more minutes, the boy found a cave that led underground. Even though he had a feeling that it probably shouldn’t go down, the cave gave the best amount of protection. The boy decided to go down as it knew that a blizzard was going to happen again in a short time. Going down, the boy saw a door near the end of the cave entrance. The creature thought that the cave might be a trap as there was a chance there could be other survivors in the wasteland, and there was no certainty that they would be friendly, but it heard the next blizzard and ran towards the door with the blizzard hastily following behind it. The boy quickly opened and closed the door right before the blizzard got to it. The boy took a break as the base inside the cave was made neatly like a old house. He decided to read a book on one of the shelves to pass the time till the blizzard ends as it is still not completely sure if he should stay here. But before he opened the book the boy saw a note on a box near the door. He grabbed the note and read it ”If you have found this base, you are lucky. If you see this note then I am most likely dead, but the box that this note is on contains food as this place is called the wastelands of hunger. With the special attributes of this place is the blizzards and the creature that dwells in the blizzards. You need to be careful when you find this place as this is in an area where they happen often but this place gives you the most amount of protection from them. Good luck.” The boy felt relieved to know that he had food he could eat and had more information about the wasteland he was trapped in. He went to the box which truly had food. The boy ate some of the food and saved the rest as it knew needed to be careful about the limited amount of food. He noticed that the blizzard just ended and decided to check around the outside of the cave to see if there was anything nearby. He went back after seeing nothing, he went to the couch since there was no bed, and attempted to sleep after several days without sleeping. The boy stared at the Flame in front of the chairs, so he could take his focus off of the place he was in, and rest. But right before the boy went to sleep he heard rapid banging on the door. The boy opened the door to see other survivors in front of the door. Specifically his younger siblings. all of them were let in the base and the door was closed with the next blizzard hitting the door a few seconds after. He was surprised that there was still survivors and decided to ask them questions about where they were and if there was other survivors but decided to feed them before asking questions as they seemed like they could die of hunger in a few minutes. The others answered the boy’s questions after they ate. He noticed the food could only last for a few weeks. as several minutes past the others seemed to get even more hungry than before each time they ate. they eventually ran out of food and the boy decided to leave the cave in search for more food. He traveled a few miles away. taking a few hours to find food and another 2 hours to get back to the case. But what when the boy entered the door he eyes widened, horrified at what he was seeing. Two of the older siblings was eating the others. The Boy stood there struggling to understand what was happening in front of it, One of the two saw the boy and pushed him back out of the door as if both preventing him from interfering and saving him for later. the siblings getting eaten reached out their arms towards the boy, as if looking for affirmation that they would survive, but they only never got the affirmation as they were consumed and the boy was caught by The blizzard and pulled away. As the boy got dragged away the two siblings finished consuming the others and attacked each other. He then heard loud footsteps and knew his fate was sealed, as his final act the man prayed that the final survivors of this wasteland not have the same fate as him and his siblings.
