I really debated on ending it there… I have a full ending… but I also like leaving the ending unresolved...
This story concept came to me through a rather vivid dream, I have these “story” dreams from time to time, not I nor anyone I know is in them, and they have nothing to do with my life, instead I am watching a character story unfold… it is seriously like my brain is giving me a private movie show... And in this case I woke up vividly remembering it.
*Spoilers for the story below
Also I hope I did no offend anyone utilizing the element of cancer from my dream. I have not personally had cancer but have had it affect, and kill, people I cared about… I have personally seen how weak it can make someone, how painful it can be, and how hard it is to go through… it’s a terrible terrible thing.
My grandmother, aunt and mother have all had breast cancer, it is hereditary and I expect to have it in my life time. Also while I was in the 4th grade, my science teacher, one of those awesome teachers everyone loves, was fighting her third bout of cancer. After a while a second teacher came in to sit in on the class preparing to take over when her fight would become too serious to come to school and I remember the day she thanked us for not noticing she was wearing a wig… by the time I left the 5th grade she had lost her battle with cancer.
My dream for whatever reason wanted to give me a story about siblings surviving the end of the world, not being torn away from each other by zombies and the apocalypse but rather by questionable human law and cancer…
And it and it seemed like a unique enough story worthy plot, a bit of a twist on the whole survive the end of the world story-base that is so popular these days (I’m not complaining, I like said stories… and man am I behind on Walking Dead, I left off at when they left the farm) I mean, I have yet to see this plot set into place yet *shrugs
PS I think the wall part came into my dream because of Attack on Titan (I am only up to ep 13 so NO SPOILERS please, dear gawd please) actually the whole sibling thing too could have eeeked in there from watching this anime since Mikasa and Eren are adopted siblings and together they have been kicking ass against the end of the world.
PSS Attack on Titan is effing gold man, even if the series tanks from this point onward I will hold it as one of the best anime ever just for the first 13 episodes... holy F**K those plot twists... just... just... I watched the first 13eps in two nights and if I had to wait a week for any of those plot twists I would have died... I think I will sit here and wait till the series is done at the end of the month before I watch more because ep 13 did not end on a massive cliff hanger and I can stand to wait .___.

I get these kinds of dreams all the time! I've always wondered why I get them.. but I love getting them all the same. xD
Also, the story was amazing! :D

I am so glad someone actually read this and commented...
When I post written work I honestly just resign myself to seeing an empty comment section ^^; I feel like written works online, especially on art sights, just get passed up for the instant satisfaction an image can provide vs using your imagination to form one from looking at words.
Despite this, eh if I have the itch to write I write, I could just... not post it... but it took time to write and there is always the chance someone will actually read it X3

And thank you for the comment.
Even though I expect my written work to get little to no attention it is still a little disheartening to see a photo of my pigeons, which took all of 5 minutes to do, get so much more attention than this story with took a couple hours to produce ^^;

It reads like a script or storyboard. Being a visual artist and describing what was seen in a dream, such a thing is to be expected. It would probably lend well for a comic or 'manga'. I read the alternate ending first (bad me! lol) and then had to read this. I think the alternate does complete the story a bit more.
If this were elaborated on and presented properly a lot of elements would have to be swapped around depending on how it is presented.
hmmm for example, if this were translated into visual media I would have to reveal the brother's condition differently. I would still want to keep the concern about the brother only hinted at, or nonexistent, until they witness the execution... but I can't reveal his condition like I did in the story, I wrote it from an omnipotent view.
So I would have the sister reveal the brother's condition to her friend. It would be a surprise for both the friend and the audience and would get the friend invested in their plight sooner, which could play well into the ending... I can actually see how the reveal would play out, and I even have a nice line for it - the brother is concerned about trusting the friend and his sister replies "I trust her with my life, I can trust her with yours."
