It doesnt need detailed reading, but its for the class magazine and i need to know if it is absolutely boring or not. Im in 9th grade so its not like it has to be very good.

So basically the school in the story is the one i go to, and the cities are these two twin cities, one of which i live in. the story isnt much in itself cause i only wanted to base it on stuff people are familiar with.

the “story” is in diary form. Good luck and thanks.

The sky changed colour last night. It was normal up till yesterday, but this morning there was a huge tear in the grey cloud and the air was all green. Mother noticed it first when she got up and she went round waking everyone up to have a look. There’s this really nasty smell as well and everyone’s worried it’s those nuclear experiments again. Father says they’re going to start evacuating soon. It’s only been three months since we were back though.

Father was right; they are going to start deporting us again. They sent out a broadcast yesterday afternoon. They’re not telling us why everything’s all weird but my friend’s dad who works for them told us that two of the nuclear groups have started a feud. Apparently it’s serious this time, but we’re “not to worry”. Some hope. We’ve been told pack because we’re leaving tomorrow, but it’s hard because it’s been getting dark at three everyday. No one can bear to look at the sky anymore.

We arrived this afternoon. It is no longer safe to fly the supersonics, so we had to come by regular train and it took ages to reach. This time we’ve been sent to this rural place in Orissa… Phulnakra, I think it was called. One of the people in our group told me that it used to be between two cities, but then the rivers flooded like a century ago and wiped everyone out. No one’s lived here since, and the few buildings left standing make it feel like a ghost town. Spooky, but at least its safe here. We’ve been registered in this crazy complex of buildings. They must’ve been really grand at one point, but now the whole place just looks all dilapidated and sad. Rumour has it that it used to be a school. A likely story… they were done away with ages ago.

Gosh!! It really is a school…a real one where kids were all put in the same room and taught stuff, with books and everything. Wow this place must be ancient then, because they stopped that kind of thing years ago. There isn’t any electricity here. Everyone’s trying to make this place livable, and finding enough to feed everyone. I’m supposed to be helping with the soup, but we don’t have anywhere big enough to cook it so we’re doing it in the swimming pool. It would be really funny, except it’s very strange and very gross. I wish some of my friends had been sent here too… I’m really bored. But my parents say I shouldn’t complain because it could apparently be “a lot worse”.

It’s getting too dark to write, but we’ve finally got news of what’s going on, from people who arrived today. Six countries have joined the fight now and that’s why the sky’s been getting darker and greener and smokier. The few plants that survived the last nuclear onslaught are beginning to die. Some people have suddenly fallen sick so it’s likely to be one of them next.

Strangely, we actually had fun today!! We had this huge party in an auditorium-type place and I even met couple of kids who’d been in the same city as us. It’s great, because I hadn’t known there were any children here. And then search party was sent out to see if there was anything left in the school that we could use, and they came back with a generator! So now we have electricity and don’t have to sleep at four in the afternoon anymore. Yay. Yesterday’s pessimism seems so unnecessary now. The best part is it’s my birthday on Tuesday… that’s just two days to go!

Apparently there’s no chance of us being back home by tomorrow so it looks like I’m going to have to spend my birthday here. Maybe I can find someone to help me organize a party…? In spite of this mad nuclear situation I’m actually really excited. But everyone else is walking round with a cloud above their heads. There are so many rumours flying round that I really don’t know what to believe anymore. One of the scariest is that the radiations from the weapons is dissolving the atmosphere, and at a constant rate, so now people have worked out exactly when the world will end. I.e. at exactly 3 minutes past midnight tonight. I.e. hell. Luckily the source wasn’t too reliable.

10:30 am- half an hour later.
Just had the strangest conversation with my father. Strange because, a) the rumours were true and the world is going to end tonight exactly 3 minutes into my 15th year, and b) because my father went all emotional and sad, like, “Its terrible that you’ve ne
never experience because of what people from a different generation have done to the world before you were born…” and other stuff. Reason for this regret and sadness… see a). I don’t think that the fact that we will all be dead in 14 hours and three minutes has quite registered with anyone yet. We’ve been called to hear an official broadcast now. We’re supposed to be “not panicking and making the best of what time we have.” Now of course everyone is crying like crazy.
Tuesday, 20-04-2097- My 15th birthday- The day the world ends.
12:00 am (midnight)

So this is it. The day the world ends. And I am also officially 15 years old and I’m the only person here who’s lucky enough to die on the same day I was born. How ironic. Everyone’s been sitting together all day like dying together is somehow not as bad. Should we be honoured that we’re going to see the world end? It might be quite dramatic. We might be quite dead by that time. Christ, three minutes to go. I’m very very scared. It’s freaky that this is going to be it forever. Maybe if things had turned out differently and the world hadn’t gone to the dogs a hundred years ago, I might have had a life but whatever. The people who wrecked the darn place and stone dead too so revenge isn’t really on the agenda. Now everyone’s counting down, just like for New Year. We are really going to die in three… two… o—–
and thats it

i like it, it wasnt too long, but id actually read it if tou strached out the last day and made a book. sonds dumb but you had my attention the whole waythru. i think the kids in your school will love it
