It's been a while since my last submission. This is a major switch from my normal stories. I know the title is crappy, but at this point I'm out of ideas. So please don't hate on me. I hope you all enjoy and comment on this piece. I also copied the story onto my text so no need to download. yay!

Chapter 1.
I looked up and felt a rain drop fall on my face. I shook it off and looked even closer to the sky. The clouds did not look like clouds, they looked black and menacing. They almost looked like it was moving!
I just remembered to looked at my surroundings. Apparently I was up high. I guessed I was on a very high building of some sort, but I couldn't be completely sure. I was also on the ledge of the building and looking down. I was confused, why was I up here? Oh yeah, something about saving the world.
I heard a menacing chuckle behind me. I whipped around and saw a man coming out of the sky and he came down onto the roof with me. I was shocked, but for some reason I was expecting him.
The man asked, "Have you made your decision?"
I had my mouth open ready to reply but I couldn't think of anything to say. The winds were getting stronger and louder. Lightning streaked across the sky, rain started to pound on me. I looked to the street miles beneath me and saw bloodshed. Blood was everywhere and the rain began to turn black.
I said, "What is happening?"
He replied, "The end of the world. The apocalypse. The Rapture. I don't care what you call it, in either case, the human race will be extinct soon. So have I your answer yet?"
"What is the question!!?"
He shook his head and started to tisk like he where a small child. My face turned red and I was about to tackle him before I found my legs merging with the building.
He said, "That is not how this goes. Yes, or no! Nothing else!!"
I felt very cold, like a darkness swallowing me up. I tried to shake it out of my mind but it was there, almost like a constrictor squeezing out any last bit of my personality. I felt prone to answer just about anything.
The man began to look impatient, he said, "I don't have eternity, well I do, but that's not the point here. Would you give your life to save the human race?"
My heart skipped a beat, "My life?"
I thought about it. Give my life for the humans, I couldn't answer that. As of right now, I wanted to live more than anything.
The dark clouds started to turn into funnels, like tornadoes but not completely. The funnels connected to the ground and ripped up the surrounding city landscape.
I tore my eyes away, tears starting to form around my eyes. I heard the screams down below me. I couldn't drown them out!
I looked back at the man before me. I was about to answer yes, but something stopped me. A very old presence. He shouted no.
I felt like I should listen to him at the moment. I said to the man ,"No".
His grin faded away, replaced with a scowl. He roared an inhuman roar, I was forced to hold my ears.
I looked up just in time to see a gigantic meteor pushing through the atmosphere. I fell to my knees ready to give up.
The man yelled, "I hope you will be able to live an eternity in purgatory with what you just did, little ant!"
He disappeared right before the meteor crashed into the city.

The shock threw me off my bed. I was left gasping before realizing it was all a dream. I caught my breath and got up and left my bedroom for the kitchen.
I sat down among my family. I was the youngest of three sons. My mother died of cancer a few years back leaving dad to pick up the slack.
I didn't feel like eating much. My father turned on the news channel on the television as he has been doing that for a while now. The news castor, April, was mentioning the strange rash of suicides among the politicians of the western world. China and Russia were left largely immune.
When she says strange, she means setting themselves on fire, jumping into lions cages and into trains. Some would flatten themselves onto the floors so that a tractor can roll over them. Surprisingly that has happened more than one would expect. But the majority tend to create large deathtraps to bring as many other civilians with them as possible. Over 20,000 high ranking politicians have died over the past 6 months. Many centered in Europe and the U.S.
So far everyone's highest leaders haven't been infected. The EU has called for a united plan in combating this strange disease. The only symptoms involve a little black liquid to flow from the victims various orifices, including but not limited to, the eyes, ears and nose. After the black liquid appears, the politician goes on a suicide spree.
No other symptoms can be noticed before hand. And right now other reporting's are starting to come out that military personnel as well as other major stars are killing themselves. The world is in a stand still, afraid of where the next biological attack will occur. Many nations like Russia, China, Iraq and various others claim they are behind the attacks, but they have yet to prove it.
Just as I was about to leave, April started to leak the black liquid. She kind of stopped speaking and held a blank stare for a minute or two. She then looked at herself and grinned. She got up and walked over to the electrical wiring off set. She immediately bit into them shocking herself leaving her dead.
We sat there speechless for 30 minutes until my bus for school arrived. I came out of my funk and grabbed my back pack and left. I am Brandon, in high school, and a senior, I am 17 years old. My brothers have already graduated high school and has entered college. My dad works at the near by plant as a pipe fitter. He makes good money, but ever since the hospitalization and death of my mother, we fell into enormous debt. We had to sell our house and now living in a rented trailer.
As I was walking onto the bus, I looked deep into the distance and saw the dark man from my dream. He grinned at me and disappeared afterwards leaving behind a bit of advice in my head, don't go to school.
