Our World (IV)

Mmm my forehead hurts. What is this? I feel many bandages in my arms and legs... Eh? Where am I?

I opened my eyes and noticed that I was on a hospital bed. How hid I get here? I remember I was fighting and suddenly fell unconscious.

While I was looking around the room a nurse entered, she explained to me what took place.

I was asleep for 3 days. It seems that there were some witnesses who saw my battle against the monster and went to search for help after everything ended.

Quickly they depleted military forces that kept them away, while another team cleaned the destruction caused without giving much answers to the civilians for what happen, they only made emphasis on not being able to enter that area for their own safety. An ambulance arrived later and then took me with the few injured that were left.

No one found a way to explain my actions with the authorities and make them believable, regardless they agreed that an extraordinary force was necessary to face them.

The soldiers that survived said that in fact none of their weapons were able to hurt it, for worse the beast's corpse started to disintegrate slowly until there was nothing left, the same way that the other one I faced before. So they have that in common, it can't be a simple coincidence.

Due to the lack of proofs no one could affirm that my wounds were made by some strange wild animal coming from who knows where, they only had to believe the multiple testimonies. The doctors seemed amazed by my fast recovery, maybe my powers had something to do with that.

Many rumours had been heard since then, therefore it was decided to do a manifestation in downtown to demand an explanation from the authorities. After that the mayor made an emergency public meeting to explain the situation to the people, acknowledging that the destruction and disorder was due the work of gangs and extremists who took advantage of the lack of government personal maintaining the order in the city.

Nothing spectacular, just the typical speech to keep them quiet. Setting aside any mentions of the creature I faced and the probable scenario that they are still more out there. Shutting up the witnesses was the first step to do it, and also the fact that the beast didn't leave behind any kind of evidence anywhere made it much easier, all will be considered simple rumours made by the collective paranoia.

Considering that we are in a new post apocalyptic reality filled with unknown creatures immune to the weapons we posses, I guess he made a good job in preventing the panic to spread.

Of course, that's not enough. Nothing will happen if we keep on like this. I need to know what is happening to the world, and what has affected me. If someone has some information it must be the government, probably they know more than they tell the masses.
