Surviving an Apocalyptic event...

30 Day Blogging Challenge

Creation Saturday!
Pick an apocalyptic event, and tell us how you plan on surviving it.

Uck! Can I just say this kind of story genre distresses me. I almost want to take a humorous bent on it, but it seems too morbid to even go there....

The sky is falling
Chicken Little is said to say...
But even now...
He's a chicken nugget.

The world as we know it is crumbling
Falling into the sea....
Take your family and run for the hills
Take only what you can carry
And look for fresh water.

I had another bit about Trump.... but I cut it. That's too scary to even contemplate.

Okay.... I will try this.....


Darkness spreads like a poison across our land
Toxic fumes take out even the hardiest of souls.
Leaving only a few of us cunning enough
To press down into the earth
And live in caves that run like a labyrinth under the surface.... miles down.
We that have survived
Have adapted to this cruel environment
Most of us are blind,
Or at least we think we are,
Because no light marrs the walls or tunnels
That zig and zag in our underground city.
How do we survive?
Science has gifted us with a hydroponic bubble
That floats up and filters in the air and sunlight
Necessary for our food to grow.
Filters also sweep through the underground water
That seeps in along the walls and pools in a reservoir.
We live simply.
Take only what we need.
Share what we have
And give what we can.
We are all in this together.
We have been blessed enough to survive
And those that see it as a curse
Have left our midst.... or been taken away....
Life is hard
But we struggle on
Because we can.
