In a single instant, we lost everything. All the technology and progress made by the humankind stopped working. However, that was just the beginning of a new age of evolution — an era marked by battles and fighting for survival to make humanity reach the next level. To me, the end of our civilization made me realize many things. It made me realize how I was short-sighted and weak. Many people died in just a few days. And that made me understand how humankind was soft. But in the end, all my struggles were for naught. In the end, everything made me understand what I truly was. I was just a...

The era of the progress of humanity came to an end without any warning. Many wished for that, but few could consider what happened a good thing.
For me, everything ended, or rather; it began on the last day of high school. It was a hot summer Friday, but despite the heat, all my classmates and I were looking forward to the holidays. I had a part-time job, thanks to that, I wouldn't have as much free time as them, but I was still satisfied with that.
I was only eighteen years old, but due to some circumstances, I had to leave my parents house and live alone. Usually, this would be very exciting for someone of my age, but things aren't so easy. I had to get a job and still to study to finish high school. The best option I found was to work at the training center for Olympic athletes of my city seven days a week.
Specifically, I organized and cleaned the materials used by archery athletes. For several times I was invited to observe the training of them and also for many times, they offered themselves to teach me how to shoot with the bow, but I refused this offer because I was afraid of damaging the equipment. I never had any financial problems, but still, better safe than sorry. Besides, that was a waste of time, since I naively thought that I couldn't apply that in real life.
Usually, it was dark when I left work and went home. However, to my surprise, the sun was still setting, looking at such a beautiful and natural event. I felt a lot of inner peace. In that rare moment of tranquility, I began to think of everything that had happened during the last two years. I was forced to leave home and rent another place to live. Although everything was a little troublesome at the beginning, I felt satisfied with my current situation, because unlike before, I wasn't causing problems for anyone. With a small smile of satisfaction on my face, I stopped walking and began to watch the sunset.
"Two years have passed ... I wonder how they are. Maybe I can visit them now ..."
As I smiled and imagined myself returning home, I felt a great chill, and then I heard a sound of a heartbeat echoing through my head.
"What was that?"
I didn't have time to think of an answer; because I had the impression of seeing the sun getting a little bigger. Somehow, I felt that those events were connected, but soon I forgot about it because right there, I lost consciousness.
I was too naive; I thought that I could go back to the old times, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible. After that day, everything changed, the world changed, and it changed forever
