1 - Without A shuttle
metal was glowing in the center of a large fenced perimeter. The lights surrounding the area reflected on its surface and made her blinding. All around was full of big machines similar to those of the space shuttle. Kitt
The last time he saw a space shuttle that was started three years ago when it took off the Enterprise II. There was a failure and fell into the sea. No survivors.
Kitt noted by wire mesh leaving and everything seemed great. His hands were sweating and forehead was moist with sweat. His brother in arms, would not stop whining and trying to keep him silent rocking. Around
he was a multitude of people thronged to seek safety in the spacecraft. Shouts, screams, cries rose from the crowd as his last breath of the earth's population.
Suddenly a man jumped over the net and entered the perimeter, incomprehensible sounds. He was dressed in filthy rags, and just watch it gave a sense of disgust. His face was covered with dirt brown furrows interrupted only by clear who created the tears. The nearest guard noticed it, and holding the gun fired. The man fell to the ground with a groan, and for a moment the crowd stopped roaring, like a dog that barks while, a shot suddenly stops for a moment, then resume his barking.
'main engine ignition in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... "cried a voice amplified. Like the sound of an explosion, the machines will run, and, at the base of the shuttle lit a bright light. The crowd about a half mile away watching the spacecraft that lifted from the ground floor. Then, suddenly, took off, emitting a powerful streak of light. Kitt put his arm before his face to the dark, clutching his chest Bit. The light went out while the ship disappeared into the black cloud covered the sky. The flames enveloped
*** Kaoru and the crackle of the fire seemed to be the roar of a beast. The sirens outside the house to drill the brain, but he was thrown into a corner, knees to his chest, his head down almost to give his lungs a bit 'more oxygen. He coughed. She had no escape now, no escape. It was over. He felt that everything was falling apart, and she was helpless, there, on the ground. And his family? What would happen to his children? The heat did not allow her to cry, though she wished to do so.
A large beam came loose from the ceiling, like a meteorite fell and smashed to the ground, creating even more smoke and flames. Suddenly a figure dipanò from the tangle of fire, but Kaoru was almost unconscious. The man had a hand to her mouth, covered by a handkerchief, her face blackened by smoke. He took Kaoru weight and walked out.
"Chris ..." Kaoru tried to whisper. It was her husband.
Meanwhile the wind was missing and the smoke clouded his thoughts. Then he began again to breathe the fresh air to the lungs intoxicated, but without giving much relief.
He looked around him and saw a devastating sight. The road was completely destroyed. On the horizon more smoke rose into the sky. The neighborhood was dead, the houses for the most part collapsed. Some lights of the few remaining street lamps light up at times. Small trails lit up the hood of white smoke into the sky like shooting stars that rose from the ground up, then disappear beyond the dark blanket of fog that clouded everything. Fear gripped the
than ever to the sight of that ugly performance, while her husband was in the care of paramedics outside the house. The seized arms and made her lay on a stretcher. Kaoru cha had gathered all the forces and murmured a thanks to her husband. He smiled back, then coughed and leaned on himself. He fell to his knees and ran to meet the paramedics. Kaoru who had been initially motionless, sitting on the stretcher, he jumped and ran away from her husband. Kaoru was lying on the ground and began to stroke his hair. The tears began to flow back in his face and stood on his shirt scorched and blackened by the flames. The doctors put on a face mask connected to an oxygen tank, but knew that would be served by little. Kaoru, desperate, he began shaking his head. Her husband looked at her with eyes that had made it fall in love, as a tear ran down his face. He smiled, then his eyes lost their expression. The woman uttered a cry of despair and detachment via a mask. She kissed him again and again, then threw her face on his chest and wept. After a few seconds everything in
Kaoru was paralyzed. A thought flashed to mind: her children. It's stupid and gave it up, or rather, is catapulted away from the body of her husband. Yes looked around for their children's eyes, but could see nothing beyond the few ambulances and the desolation of the neighborhood. He had to go to the spacecraft. Are accused of leaving her children alone and knew that he would ever forgive him.
He ran down the main street, the tears continued to rigarle cheeks. As he ran to his left was another building going up in flames but there were no ambulances to help the people. A woman putting on all fours, moaning into tears and frantic beat hands down. Kaoru dodged a big crack in the asphalt, while the horizon drew a luminous trail. ***
the watch Kitt was stopped. They were now ten that marked the six days, seventeen minutes and thirty seconds. Maybe it was dawn. Maybe it was the sunset. If you always asking, but he could not know because of the black pall that invaded the sky. He looked at the horizon and saw a trail that rose to the top. Step 4 had from another ship.
Kitt was sitting with his legs to his chest at the entrance of the tent of his family. Bit his brother slept calmly. He looked inside the fenced perimeter and saw that the crane was putting into place the new spacecraft. A tear gleamed across his left cheek.
His father had gone to get new supplies hours before, but had not returned. So her mother went to look for but she had not returned.
"Connecting to the main engine completed" a computer voice boomed from inside the perimeter "Ready to go in two hours and seven minutes."
The crowd awoke from his state of limbo and confusion began to grow. Kitt
quickly woke his brother, and, after giving a last look behind him, trying to see his parents, he saw that the gate was opening. They were coming. ***
Kaoru came to the edge of the crowd totally devoid of breath. Placing it in the sea of \u200b\u200bcrowd that wrapped all around, in the miserable attempt to find their children. He tried to make his way through the crowd, moving arms and elbows giving left and right. The pain gets worse when he realized the impossibility of his act, but still desperately to drag his body among the people. He stopped only when he came to the iron mesh that divided the demarcated area. He saw that a new shuttle was being done to place on the deck and noticed that people were crowding through the gate nearby. He went looking, at this time with more difficulty, to make his way. When he realized he could no longer go on, he stopped.
His eyes ran in all directions, chasing a small glimmer of hope. Suddenly his eyes brightened and enlivened by a new strength, he pushed away the people in front of her. He arrived at the entrance gate, when a guard stopped her.
"I'm sorry. There are no more seats. Please stay back, "
" Kitt! Bit, "Kaoru sighed then. The last guy in the group turned and his face shone. He tried to run to his mother, but another guard restrained him. "No time, boy," he snarled. Kitt tried to free himself, but in vain.
Kaoru's smile faded. Then he looked at his son intently and smiled again. He nodded and his eyes made it clear that the boy had to go. Kitt denied his head and his eyes filled tears. The guard took it from the free arm and pulled him away. "No," he cried. But his mother continued to smile, what interested her was that her children were saved. The guard continued to pull Kitt to the elevator that would take them inside the shuttle. He continued to stare at the woman, then the red grating was lowered and Kitt sought shelter for the last time in the eyes of his mother. Then he left the elevator and she became progressively smaller. Without the crowd.
Even the guards got into the shuttle, this time, and the crowd knew that this would be the last.
The people broke the networks, broke the gates, but now the doors were closed. The engines roared and Kaoru looked at the spacecraft that took off and eventually disappear into the darkness.
