My prompt for today is, "The asteroid was hurtling straight for Earth...."
All of us had known that earth would end. I mean, we didn't expect it to be so soon. I was only 15, but I guess here it was: The end of life as we knew it. Each of us had our own fears, rational or not. One I hadn't considered was an asteroid, so I don't exactly know what to think. I just know I'm scared and when I turn to my left and see Amy, she looks just as terrified. The first thing she says to me is, "Let's go. Get out of here." I then think though, where would we go? We can't just run off of the face of the earth, and we're definitely not getting into space. Running was one of those irrational ideas. It wouldn't help. Nor would it increase our likelihood of surviving. I finally settle with the idea of creating one last memory with my best friend. I turn to Amy and ask her if she wants to create a jar filled with all of our memories. Some of the things we put in it were just silly, but others, now they were the true shining moments in our friendship. The moments of love, laughter, pain, sorrow, and hope too. They were the moments that made our friendship what it is today. One last memory, I wrote, "The memory of all memories". The asteroid didn't break us, I mean it literally did/would obliterate us but, in a metaphorical sense, it brought us closer together, just like the memories of the hard moments in our friendships. Hardships make us who we are and for us, it bettered us and helped us to grow.
