Connor Thompson
Connor's fists clenched into balls at the sight of what he used to call his home. A place where he had admittedly cursed at and hated on many occasions, but right then, it seemed like the best place in the world.
"You've got to be kidding me.."
The voice sounded distant in Connor's ears, so much that he couldn't even tell whether it was Blah or Nash that had said it. He didn't really care, either.
The town that had once been buzzing with life suddenly looked like a ghost town. A very much roughed up ghost town. A few cars had been thrown astray, and most buildings were unrecognizable. If the meteor could do that to buildings, it made him wonder what it could do to an ordinary human being. It made him wonder how he had gotten out alive.
He felt like bursting into tears, maybe from built up emotion, but instead decided to angrily kick a large stone over across the town border, yelling, "Fuck this!" as he did so. His voice echoed around the town, breaking the silence that had haunted it. His hand reached up to his neck and he started to rub it, a habit of his which he did when in distress.
He then remembered the rest of the group, and his eyes first turned to his girlfriend Danielle. He wanted to reach over and hold her hand, give her some comfort, but stayed in his place, as if some force was telling him no. Of course, there wasn't really any force, he just wasn't strong enough to beat his own willpower. He then looked over at Caroline, whom he assumed didn't like him very much. She was probably one of the youngest of the group, a child.
His eyes looked over at Desmea for a second, wondering if she would have anything to say, but just then Blah fell onto his knees. He took a step towards his friend to help him but practically jumped back when a green glow emitted from his body, not very noticeable but clear enough to see. It was a split second after Blah had fallen, however, that Connor felt a sharp pain through his head, and suddenly he was very dizzy. His legs started to shake slightly, hardly visible, but enough for Connor to notice, as if they were no longer strong enough to carry his body strength. He gritted his teeth and a line of sweat appeared across his forehead. He gave a quiet groan of pain as he tried to stay standing, but lost his concentration when he saw the dull blue glow lighting up his body. He fell to his knees, but as soon as his knees hit the ground, he snapped out of it and stood up again.
"What the hell was that?" he breathed, shaking his head to clear his thoughts. He wasn't really speaking to anyone, and it was a rhetorical question, as he knew well that none of them could answer that.
"That meteor was real...Everything, was real.." Jay said, his voice cracking. "I'm pretty sure i'm not drunk either, but i swear to God..I really wish i was. I mean, look at this place? Where is everyone? Why are't we dead...And...And.." he paused, and Connor wondered if he was expecting someone to answer his question, before Blah continued.
"Who did this to my shoes?" he yelled. Connor sighed, his eyes returning to the wrecked town in front of them.
