Oh My God!

I look all around me. Everything man mad is lying on the floor as if someone just ripped everything not of nature from the ground in its entirety. I saw for the quickest instance that where everything was pulled out the dirt was restored and there was fresh grass there. I say everything not of nature because all the trees are fine, the grass is fine, the bushes, etc. The only stuff destroyed was everything man made. Even the pipes and cables underground were now out and it smell disgusting. What the hell is all this?

I look around me the kids seem fine as do their parents. I look around and I notice something strange. All the senior citizens are gone. "Granny?! Where'd you go?!" I turn to see a kid looking around. It is the one I caught second from the railing. "What do you mean kid where is your grandma?" The kid looks to me scared, "I don't know she was here then after the boom and shaking and stuff she was just gone! She disappeared! Grandma!? Where are you!?" The kid went off running screaming and yelling for his grandma. I feel a hotness by my ear. I reach up and feel something wet. I look at my hand and its bleeding. Dammit Those loud noises hurt my ears.

It is weird that the Seniors disappeared. Where could they have gone? I run back to where I last saw Jen. Damn it! "Jen!" I run up to her laying on the floor unfortunately there is something else now. The flagpole landed and stabbed her through the chest. I run up to her and bend down to her. "Jen! Jen!" She looks to me slowly and reach her hand towards me while blood gurgles out of her mouth and then I see the light fade from her eyes and her arm drop. I catch her arm and slowly set it down. I can still see the fear, disbelief, and unwillingness in her face. I reach up and close her eyes. "Dammit!" I become a bit downcast. Jen was a cute young girl. She did not need to die right now. I shake my head and sigh. I stand up and grab the flag pole and try to yank it out of my acquaintance. I sure as hell do not want to leave her looking like this. They flagpole was firmly stuck inside not only Jen but the ground as well. This thing is a long 12 foot metal pole. The wasn't up so it's flying with the wind that's blowing. This is not the right time for the patriotic flag to be up.

I close my eyes and then open them, "Sorry forgive me for this Jen, but I am trying to free you from this pole." I place my foot on her chest squat low and pull upwards hard. It gets free and I hear the most disgusting ripping, crunching, sucking and sloshing noise I've ever heard. I pull it out of jen and toss it on the floor next to her. I pick her up princess style and move her under a tree in the open area. "Sorry I couldn't help you more Jen. This is all I can do for you right now. I can't bury you as I don't have a shovel nor the time right now." I turn around only to see something in the distance. An enormous hand is coming out of the ground. It is stone like and a finger is around 15 feet tall. I watch as this monstrous rock creature emerges from the ground. It stood in all its glory at an terrifying 200 feet. "ROOOOAAAARRRRRR!" It lets out a mighty roar and makes the very air tremble.

"OH MY GOD! What the hell is that giant monster!" I stand there frozen for the first time in my life. I feel danger, life threatening danger. Something I have never felt before from anyone or anything, It is absolutely terrifying and I am shivering uncontrollably. I feel my heart beating extremely strongly. I want to move! I want to run away from here but I can't even move my fingers! I feel so… WEAK! And POWERLESS!" Then the giant rock monster took a step away from the park and toward the city. Making loud noises for every step it took. In that instant I felt extreme relief and fell to the floor. In that instant I also felt immense guilt. That thing is going to massacre everyone in the city and I am feeling relief from it not choosing to obliterate me first. What is wrong with me?

I grab my head and pound it a little. I stand back up and look at the giant monster. I will call that thing a Rock Titan. I see it reach the city in a few steps and instantly start destroying everything. It stomps and kicks and punches everything. I can hear the people screaming and explosions from here. I can't help but have a tear fall down from my eyes. I felt something inside me break. I looked at the now dead Jen and then at all the people here. Some were extremely injured. Some dead like Jen and some fine like me.

I look toward Jen. I don't want to die. I don't want to die! I look around and find my truck in a different place and with no road under it. I run to my truck. I need to get as far away from the giant monster as possible. "Everyone run! Once that thing finishes with the city it will come after us!" After yelling I hop into my truck that is a little beat up a little and start it. I don't care if they heard me or not I gave my two cents. I am happy I live in the very outskirts of the city. 2020 can not get any worse. I turn on 4x4 and start driving in the direction of my home. I am happy that my truck has a compass and I am glad to know that the satellites are still working considering the gps is following me on the dash.

As I am driving I see destruction and chaos everywhere. Everything is out of the ground. Homes, convenience stores, gas stations, sidewalks, roads you get the point. It is like everything we have ever developed was just placed on an untouched earth mostly destroyed. I dodge every obstacle that used to be homes and places I visited.

I finally manage to arrive home only to see it in the same state as everything else. "There goes everything I own." I hop out the car. "Blackie! Come here boy!" I call out for my black husky but I don't receive even a bark or whimper. I hope Blackie is okay. I look through my house for some supplies. I need to get things before that Rock Titan decides to turn around and starts destroying everything. I can still hear it smashing and roaring from a distance.

I go inside to my home that is laying sideways. I find my safe first. I look up and see the wall with a giant hole in it. It broke through the wall before landing here. I reach towards my safe and open it. Inside I have 2 handguns. One is a Desert Eagle Mark XIX .50 AE and the other a .45 Pistol. I grab both guns and their holsters as well as all the ammo and load it up into my truck. Store the Desert Eagle inside of my glove compartment and put my 3 magazines and spare ammo in there. I then equip my .45 Pistol on a holster that wraps around my waist and place my 3 spare magazines into their slots. I have 66% hollow points and 33% full metal jackets in ammunition. Or put simply I have two times more hollow points than full metal jackets. For both guns. So I have 60 50 cal AE bullets in total and 100 45 ACP bullets in total. The .45 Pistol holds ten a magazine and the DE50AE holds 7 a magazine.

I dump the 2 grand in cash in my glove compartment as well. "I don't know if money will be useful but I might as well take it with me." I load my truck with 3 sleeping backs, 1 hammock, 3 pillows, 3 blankets, 2 cases of 24 pack water bottles, 2 tents, my hygiene stuff, toilet paper, flashlights and lanterns, spare clothes, a jacket and my non-perishable foods and some other foods I could find that were undamaged. I found my legitimate Katana, this thing will be super useful should I run out of ammo. I stopped and listened. The Rock Titan was still heading the other way. It may seem like I am taking my time but I am running around everywhere and most things are conveniently placed on this side of the house. I just hope I can grab enough things before it collapsed on me if it collapses at all.

I can grab more things. I grabbed my maintenance stuff for my guns and my Katana, more first aid things, medicine, emergency flares, rope, cooler, a tarp and some tools. I don't know what I'll need but I know I am not coming back so I need to be able to fix my truck should anything happen. Some empty gas containers and a tube to siphon gas. Once I place everything and remember one thing.

I run to what used to be my backyard and grab a shovel. "I'm sorry Jen. I should have had this and maybe I could have buried you." I look up only to the the Rock Titan turn this way and start walking this way. "Time to go." As I run through the house I hear something moving inside my house.

I pause and look around. What the hell was that? I sneak up to my home and take a peek through the shattered window. It was the back of some kid. Strangely this kid was green and was dressed in only a loincloth. This kid is armed with a stick. I grow suspicious and grab a rock and toss it nearby to create a noise. "Bang!" It hits the fridge on the wall aka the floor.

This thing turns around and I see it's face. It is ugly with an extremely large nose, goat eyes with black instead of whites, sharp teeth, and large pointed green ears. It snarls and charges at the noise with it's stick raised up to attack.

What the hell is this thing? It is not a kid at all. I stare at this thing when I suddenly hear a snap behind me and a high sense of danger. I swing the shovel behind me and it connects. "Bam! Crunch!" That crunch noise was this things neck breaking considering it is tilting in an unnatural direction. It is another one of those things inside. The loud noise attracts the one that is inside and it charges at me from the inside. I back up and this thing jumps out the shattered window only to be cut in multiple places and it lands on a bunch of glass. It screams and falls over in pain, I take this chance and impale it with my shovel at the neck. "Crunch!" it not only breaks the neck but also beheads it. I stand back and observe my surroundings. There doesn't seem to be any more. I look closely and observe the things I killed quickly. I do not have a lot of time. This thing looks like some images of Goblins I've seen. Suddenly I see them glow and a strange blue light leaves them and head towards me. I jump back and swing my shovel. This blue light is mostly unaffected by my shovel and reaches me entering into my body through my chest where my heart is. I drop my shovel and lift my shirt and feel my chest with my hand in slight panic. My heartbeat feels stronger. Nothing is there. Thank god, what the hell was that? I look towards my shovel only to see a white light fading from it. I look behind me and see the Rock Titan approaching so I pick my shovel up and run to my truck throwing it in the back quickly and starting it. I drive in the opposite direction from the Rock Titan.

What the hell is happening to the world? Is it just here? A Rock Titan? A Goblin? What the hell is all this!? As I drive on what once was the road through the forest nearby away from the city a bunch of questions are exploding in my mind. Eventually I calm down and continue driving quickly. After an hour of driving I slow down and look behind me to the far off once proud city. I watch as the The Rock Titan Pummel where my house was. I turn my truck off and then hop onto the back and sit on my roof. The sun is going down soon. It is 17:00 (5:00 P.M).

I watch the Rock Titan finish off the city and then suddenly start collapsing in on itself to resemble a barren rock mountain. The state of Georgia now has a hidden Rock Titan and one less city. I hope my family in California are okay. That is on the other side of the damn world. I grab my phone from inside my truck and take a picture. I try calling my family but there is not any service. I guess I need a satellite phone because I think all the Cellular towers are now destroyed on the ground. Well I have games and I can take photographs so I'll just keep my phone. Plus I can use the GPS since it doesn't need service too. I like my Smartphone from Peach Inc.

I throw my phone into the truck and look towards the back of my truck at the shovel. I grab it and look at it closely. Suddenly I receive a message in my head.

[High Inferior Shovel Level 2 Max].

What the hell was that? It wasn't a voice just a message I could understand. How is this shovel inferior? It is an all metal shovel. What is with the high too? I grab my Katana and focus on it but nothing happens. So it works for my shovel but not my Katana. Why? Maybe because I killed that Goblin with my shovel and not the Katana. I did notice when I swung at that blue light some of it was directed toward the shovel where it absorbed it. This is weird as hell.

I wonder what the level up does. I stab the shovel into the ground and it is a little easier to dig with it than before. Interesting. I hear rustling on the other side of my truck and I see some more Goblins coming out of the foliage. Five have sticks for weapons but one has a knife. Wow, what a great opportunity to test out my theory. I check my .45 Pistol and load it before holstering it. I also grab my Katana with my left hand. I see 6 Goblins. Well that is too many to kill with my sword alone but I can test out another theory I just came up with. Does it matter what weapon I kill with and will only that weapon level up? Or maybe it has to go through the blue light? I'll kill with both of them. I'll bring down 4 of them with my .45 Pistol and 2 with my Katana. I can't handle more with my Katana considering I don't have any training. I just really wanted one, and just in case of a zombie apocalypse but it seems just as useful now. I smirk.
