Spartak

I was a normal 15 year old gal when it happened. I don’t think anybody saw it coming. There is no way we could have predicted it. One moment they were there and the next second, they were gone. 

   My name is Lilly. I’m of average height, blond hair, blue eyes with the kind of tan you would expect of a gal who lives in Cali. Im the oldest of 4 others. Luke (14), Larissa (12), Kaitlyn (8) and Caleb (6). I’ve always made sure to take care of them. But these times are harder than ever.  
   Most call it the end if the world, others the Awakening. Me? I call it the Curse. 
   
   It was a saturday. April 22, 2017. Around 1 o’clock me and my mum decided to start making lunch. I chopped the lettuce and she cut the carrots. She was in the middle of complaining about how the house never stays clean. When all of a sudden she stopped talking and I heard the knife clatter on to the counter. I spun around and found…. nothing. I saw her knife and carrots halfway cut but my mum was nowhere to be found. It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air. I gathered my siblings and we searched the house for her and dad. We couldn’t find them. I called my friends Angelia and Cass. They couldnt find thier parents either. I called my friends in Florida. Apparently they were at the San Diego airport coming to surprise me with a visit. But the same thing had happened to them. They were coming off the plane when everyone of 21 and older had just disappeared. 
   The adults had gone. Leaving all of us kids behind…
