Life after Technology (English Matrix writing task)

2046 30th November

It’s been 26 years since a mysterious acid had wiped out half of the earth. Along with half of the population also went the technology, This acid had an unknown effect on the technology deeming it useless.

Where I am… I don’t know anymore, everything has been covered in moss and the buildings no longer stand. Whatever this city was called before the acid struck is no more. We have to little food supply and there are hardly any shops left that contain food. All the food that was in the shops were melted by this acid, the remaining food we had were all foods that we had on us at the time when the Acid came. And besides, not many people want to eat anymore, the food is dry and tasteless that it barely has any filling to it anymore.

We have no idea what this monstrous thing is but it reacts like acid so it’s what we all begun to call it.

There is little medicine for the sick and because of that we’ve lost 20 people to this acid, there is not much we can do really. When someone gets sick we leave them behind knowing that there was nothing left to give them.

The air is polluted its toxic to the human lungs leaving us wearing masks 24/7, This mask covers our face and nose leaving the sense of smell useless now, many people have not been able to hold the pressure of living like this and had rid themselves of this world. And If anyone wanted to touch something gloves must always be worn, everything you touch is toxic just like the air.

We learnt that the hard way. The only way to touch something is to wear these special gloves that only so many people managed to get from the government when the acid had first struck.

Somedays I would hope to wake up to hear birds singing and chirping but no living animal has been seen or heard since the disaster had struck earth.

All living life had been destroyed. Earth is no longer the paradise we all hoped for. There is no sitting around anymore and being lazy, its either continue to walk on this path of life or die as this acid is always moving and NEVER stops.

No one is safe anymore.
