Tribulation

Tribulation, the word feared amongst both religious and atheist people. Due to the sins and greed that has controlled our society of today; God had decided to punish us for these horrible deeds. Controlling what’s left of the natural environment against us. Draughts in where there shouldn’t be. Floods in where water has never known to exist. These were just the examples of the tribulation sent to us by God. Very little of us knew what would be brought upon which caused the wipe out of more than three quarters of the population. What is left lone is the English class of block D. Isolated amongst the forest in UBC, 25 peers and a lone teacher must survive the harsh environments. To the extremes, every block held a different dilemma, whether it was a drastic change in environment or weather. Thankfully, due to the central position of the English class, the 25 students were well protected from the harsh environments outside.
 As the rumbling and howling of the winds slowly started to die, the students began to get curious of what has happened. Slowly gazing out the window, a student is quickly blinded by the blazing light. Covering his eyes with his forearm, he touches the shattered window to find that it was extremely hot. With the room heating up at an alarming rate, the students being to panic. Sprinting out the building, the students find salvation in the forest for it’s’ shade. To their dismay, the forest was burnt to charcoal. The students panted and sighed, catching their breath from the unbearable heat Their hope of salvation was literally burnt to the ground. Quickly they ran off elsewhere until they had decided to scavenge themselves into the local super market. After the short journey they finally approach the automatic doors welcomed by the air conditioning. The students were exhausted and fatigued by the extreme sun. Immediately exploring the aisles, the class found food and water sufficient for their needs. Suddenly the hum of electricity creates a loud boom and the lights shut off aisle by aisle. Next there are slams against the walls and shattering of glass. From the bright lights of this haven, figures are seen approaching slowly towards the classmate in herds. The students all bare the same question, what other life form is this?
