Last Day On Earth

Cities shattered to dust...Lasers shooting...Darkness grew with the smoke clouds forming out of the smoke stacks. Julie and my brother and I hid in one of the abandoned basement buildings.

“I think this is a ghost town now!” Julie explains.

My Last Day

Let’s say it’s your last day on Earth and tomorrow you have to leave Earth in a space shuttle with your friends and family. What would you do on your last day? I am going to start off by telling you what I would do.

I would start my day with seven pancakes. Then I would grab my camera and take photos of the yard, the house and everything I could see, so I wouldn’t forget. The Space Shuttle that we would be going on would be outside, so I would go ahead and start to pack up.

I have always wanted to travel the world. I would like to eat ramen noodles in the Osaka Castle in Japan, hold koalas in Queensland Australia, swim with manatees in the Caribbean and hold a sloth at the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. To end my last day we would order a big pizza. Then all of my family and I would get together in Miami, Florida and swim with dolphins. But at the end of the day, I still live on Earth and thankfully I don’t have to choose.

Death and destruction are the only things that have come out of earth for the past months. Now I have to make the choice of my death or their death. Humans decided to ruin our own earth and after many failed attempts to reverse what's been done they have given up and are relocating humans. Of course there's limited space. I wish I could spend my last days roaming in beautiful empty fields of cows or maybe smelling the crisp fall air and watch the waterfall. I Have to kill them to get on the ship. Maybe I'm a crappy person to choose myself but I've gone through too much to just stay and die. I spent my childhood with them. How could I do such a thing? I invite her over and tension fills the room like a flood. We both know the circumstances. ¨One last toast for a chance for humanity” I say before we both take the shots and smile. Somehow we manage to smalltalk about all our memories while I wait.

Relocated

Wow. Just like that. Today is the last day on this planet called Earth before I get relocated to a space colony. So, what exactly am I going to do today? Well, I am obviously going to spend every moment I can take in today. So that means, I am probably going to get at least three to five hours of sleep before starting my last day here on Earth. It is currently 12:00 am but I am going to try and tell you what I plan on doing today.

The SHP project

Howard loved the outdoors. He loved the trees, the animals, and he mostly loved the fact that there were no houses or buildings or anything around that would ruin this perfect view. He had the misfortune of being chosen for a test run of sorts. He was chosen for the SHP or the Save Humanity Project. The earth was running out of resources fast and doesn’t look like it will be stopping anytime soon. The pilots had to be 20-40 years of age and had to go through an entire screening that took up about five days. There were a total of seven pilots because they didn’t want more than eight and they needed an odd number of people to help the decision making happen if there was to be an argument.

“Hey, where are we going again?” Jake asks.

“To outer space, baka,” George replies.

“No I know that but what planet are we going to, and what does baka mean?” Jake asks again.

“Umm, I believe that we are going to m-,” Mark starts to say.

One Last Day

I woke up this morning knowing it's going to be the last morning like this. It’s the last morning I’m going to wake up on this place called Earth. I have a total of one day to do whatever I want before I have to live the rest of my life in space. A total of 24 hours and all I’ve ever known will be gone. At first, I had no idea what I was going to do. I decided that I was going to make this day like no other.

I started the day off with a nice large cup of ice coffee, and of course, an everything bagel slightly toasted with cream cheese and avocado; the meal that could make any day a good day.

I decided maybe it was a good time to do the things I love the most, I played some basketball in my driveway before going for a ride to see my favorite things.

Last Day

Space doesn’t have oceans, mountains, and roads. So if it is the last day on earth I would spend it going to some of my favorite places or places that aren’t in space. The first thing I would do is go and pick up my friends. My friends have been there for me and so if this was my last day on Earth I would spend it with them. After picking them up I would want to go and watch the sun come up at the ocean or beach. Then spend a few hours in the nice warm sand and cool water. Before doing our next task we would have something to eat. Since there isn’t much left food we wouldn’t eat a lot just a quick snack then off to the movies. Some of my best memories with my friends are either at the movies or watching movies at one of their houses. After watching some of our favorite movies we decide to take a drive. Nowhere special. Just down some back roads listening to music and telling stories. Finally to end the day with hiking up a mountain and then sleeping under the stars.

The World's Last Day

“Come with me because today is everyone's last day on planet Earth,” the newscaster reported. I can’t believe the planet has run out of food, so everyone has to move to the Moon. I am funny, smart but also sad because I think that I will not like to be on the Moon. My Mom and I are going to live in a camper house on the moon. The camper house on the moon is small, but it is bigger than the house we are living in now. My dad is a scientist and will be coming to the Moon but he will be living in a lab.
