arrival

bdum*

Eyes bed bath *tear* clothes key id shoes open door 🚪 walk stop bus school blink*. Class, I look up at the board, calculus...sleep? No just go through the motions.

My throat tightened. Blink*

A bus no seats so stand. Almost there. squeek* I lose my stance and fall on my knee; scratching my knee with a ding* it hurts.

"Are you alright"

I brush myself off. "I'm alright" and try to laugh it off.

Bdum*

Let's get up and try to and breath. I reach my stop limping off I reach into my bag and shuffle to take out.

Home door food in microwave I put in my room. Bath now holding it tightly. Finally sleep.

Bdum*

Eyes. My eyes! My back ached with a dry throat coughing dirt. A glare. I turn away from it crunch*. I move my hands around to feel dirt...sand. The sun kissed sand burned him.

I look at my hands feeling a crunch. Gravel. What about my bed?

Bdum*

The sun kissing him water liberates itself in his body. Hot. Y my uniform of all things. The hole fixed says as the scratched .

Other people I'm not the only one. I lie back down just staring at the sky a strange sky. A mix of colours mainly blue the only thing reassuring about the situation; three seems to be red dirt and only red to be seen in the distance, my eyes could spot nothing more. "I always had bad eyesight."

Bdum*

There are other people, if they are actually people; most still on the ground others are either in the same boat as me concerned with a look of distrust for those around them. Or worse a sickly smell enters my nose, vomit atleast 5 people are vomiting scoff. Where did they wake up from?

Bdum*

I run my hands through my tangled hair and uncombed hair straitening my face as best as I can from tells I wonder...moving on. I walk over to the person closest she seems to be having a rough time; were all stuck here. The closest is a girl messy hair wierd skin and thin frame.

I bent down and used whatever courage I had. "So what seems to be the problem". I say making sure not to touch her I notice she has to big plushies grasping them unresponsive she just stares at seemingly nothing.

Bdum*

I touch her back no response a boop her cheek she responds immediately backing away."hi you had enough of the view yet" I chuckle.

Umm hi, yeah?..do I know you she says with a curious tone.

"No I don't think so🤔. Are you alright tho you were staring hard?."I smile your a wierd one aren't you she says as she secures her toys.

chatter* I look around seeing some try and talk to each other

"Just a bit different{You have no idea}. You gonna get off the ground?" y-yeah she seems to be having trouble with her legs. What's your name I ask it's amy plump, she says. Wha- ehem ok any I'm tem. I stretch out my hand to her .

Want help she grabs it hesitantly and pulls herself up {so her knees are the problem} she takes a second to get up.

"Any ideas about where we are? I ask"

Nope? she says simply

"Wanna join me. I ask sarcastically"

Can I she looks curious.

"Sure why not. But {if push comes to shove you have to find your own food} the words caught in my tongue...but don't depend on me to survive tho your cute but not that cute". Feeling like the bearer of cringe.

"Not much of a laugher I see {anything to cut some ice}" I go meet the other few people around trying to be vigilant to get more info turns out there are way more people than it seemed.

Hey what's that over there I look over in the direction. A city in the distance not too far away from here. I squint "If we're on a road and the road is elevated from the ground, weirdly placed city surrounded by a wierd placed elevated road why? So what is that?"

Bdum*

A woman runs out of the city the one surrounded by the road we happen to be on.

her clothes barely holding on stained red...Dyed red? Blood

She was being chassed by a thing a monster an inhabitant? A man like a beast blue veins pulsating glowing.

Gray colorless skin big forearms and a small waist that don't match. Chasing the woman. As she heads in our direction.

Heads in our direction?

Heads in my direction...

Bdum*

By this time people are panicing irritated y wouldn't they be, moving more.

Then

Rumble! My heart in my chest as I start sweating. Rumble!!

I look around then finally at the sand dancing with each other. With a glance at the woman and her creature.

They stare at us as if they know something. I stare back they aren't looking at us but our faces aren't that lo.

As if a light bulb clicks she dashes faster towards close enough for me to see her panic and tear filled face.

Rumble!!! A pillar dark crooked and spiked came out of the ground. It started moving its head in circles the round top at its start opened to show its teeth. SCREATCH!!!!!!

It was a worm. A sand worm the best way i could describe it a towering giant I wouldn't...I couldn't dare move lest I be striking down where I stood to me it was nothing more than a death flag ☠.
