The Antidote

Prologue

“Hurry up and get out!”

I watched all the chaos around me as everyone tried to evacuate the base. No one could see me, but I could see them as they tried to drag the other bodies out. It was so dark I couldn’t see who had gone down. I almost didn’t notice that I had gone down, too.

I tried to scream, but nothing came out. Racking my brains, I realised that would be from me hitting my throat on the iron pipe that I’d fallen on. When I tried to move my arms, a loud cracking noise came from my elbows, and white hot pain shot up my arm and into my head. My mouth opened in a silent, desperate scream. Someone had to see me. Someone had to save me. They already had once.

The darkness gradually became darker, and the screams started fading out. Guess it was finally my time.
