Too close to the light

To close to the light.“1908-A new virus is coming around England and 100 000 people die.1909-The virus continue to torture England but this time is going around the whole world! 1910- The virus is finally crashed and people can now live safety in their homes.” Said Mr. Bones to himself while he was reading an old book about the past.Mr. Bones was an archaeologist from 2 years ago. His wife, Ms. Winston, was a very rich woman. In her childhood she was the most spoiled girl from the school, but also the most popular one. They now have 2 children, Vanessa and Kyle, who were corrupted of adventure and the games were their life.One day, Mr. Bones was going to work when he saw three men working on a ship. It was looking like an old ship that had been in a war, where they’ve lost.-What are u up to, boys? He asked them as politely as he could.-We are working, sir. They answered. We want to go on an expedition in the “Faroe Island”, it seems to be something important down there. We think is something like a treasure that all adventurous people are coming around…-Would you mind if I come with you? I would like to discover something new…And plus that I’m an archaeologist, and u may need one…-Don’t worry sir; you’ll sleep in my cabin while we get there. Said one of the three men. You’ll just have to come back tomorrow at 7:00 a.m.-Good then, I’ll be there.And so he went to work... He was a bit late for the morning meeting with his Boss.When he arrived at home he started to pack up his clothes in a small bag. At dinner he told his wife what it is all about and then they just ate and went to sleep.In their family they don’t go to sleep at different times from each other, they all go at the same time. .It would be some kind of annoying to go to sleep at 7 o’clock in the evening, and to wake up at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, and of course if one goes to the bathroom in the night, all go to the bathroom…The next day Mr. Bones went out of the door without even saying good bye to his children and his wife…In their family, they won’t say good bye if you would come back later, even if “later” was after 6 years.And so he arrives at the ship with the three men, where they present themselves. -I am Mr. Rockally, and these are my friends, Zero is the younger one and this is Bill. He said pointing at each of them. And I am the captain of the “Silver Aurora”. Welcome to your new home for 4-5 weeks on the “Black Sea”. That’s how he used to call the ocean from England to the Faroe Island.-Excuse me, but I am pretty sure we we’ll meet on our way to the Faroe Island, now I just need to take care of “MY” expedition. I would like to know where my cabin is, and I’d like us to be on our way, if u don’t mind, please. Mr. Bones’s said to them, in a so superior way that they couldn’t understand a word that he was saying.They are now on their way to the Faroe Island. A stormy Sea was in their way, the blue sky turned into a grey “puffed” sky, the sea was more agitated that it was before…“It seems to be a Hurricane on its way to England” said the man. from the radio.-That’s all we need now! Said Mr. Bones.-Don’t worry, sayd Bill, we’ve been in more exiting days than this one! Once we’ve been in Atlantis, but then the biggest Tsunami ever came about and destroyed our last boat, “Mary Martindale”, it was called like that from my father, he died 2 years ago, rest in peace poor him, he died trying to save me from the fire…and before to finish his story…-Excuse me sir, but I didn’t say I am interested in such rubbish stories! Said Mr. Bones making Bill go away.-I’m sorry sir! Said Bill very upset! No one has talked to me like that ever! You could just say that u do not want to listen and I would stop anyway!-Yeah, Sure! Said Mr. Bones.Mr. Bones was a difficult person to understand, he was always with his nose up, he was always talking in scientific and less simple terms, he was always wearing something that is black, like his eyes and his dark, long hair.-I see it! Said “Zero” pointing at a small piece of ground in the middle of the ocean. It was the island really. Only that it was too far away…-Then why are we still here in this miserable place? Said Mr. Bones. We should be there by now!And so they arrived on the Faroe Island. But what? No treasure? And where are all the adventurers?-Excuse me, Mr. Rockally, but could you tell me, please, where this “treasure” is?-I’m sorry, Mr. Bones…But…answered Mr. Rockally…There is no treasure…We just ran away from…-Away from what? Sayd Mr. Bones angry about them…Why are we here then???-We are here because of the virus, we didn’t want to die…answered Bill…-Wait, what virus are u talking about?-It’s a virus that kills people…you know…in 1908 it appeared and it killed a lot of people, we just wanted to be sure we are the last people that die…-You stupid! My wife is down there! And my children! I can’t believe I got through this! I want one of u to get me back! Right now!And so they did…But when they arrived back, the city was down! Mr. Bones took a taxi to get home, but on his way, he saw that the taxi was driving by itself! It was the virus, it was a sign that it was there, and all it wanted it was him! It wanted Mr. Bones, to keep him all, because if u could understand anything from this story, is that at the very beginning, when Mr. Bones was reading, the book was from the beginning of the virus, and now it took it here, in the future, where it can controls everything once again! Mr. Bones jumped out of the car and ran away home. If u can call it that anymore..When he arrived his house was down…Full of fire and smoke, and then the rain started, and while he was crying, he felt a touch on his shoulder…He got up, and there was his “wife”, but it wasn’t really her, because as u should know, she is dead…the virus killed everybody from the London to Liverpool and then to Scotland. Everything was ruined!And there u are, in the darkness. At least u had a good life…But there is beautiful white light from the sky…Could it really be the end? Could Mr. Bones really die from such a simple touch on his shoulder?NO! Why? Because he is the main character in this story so he can’t die so fast and that’s it… But the virus tried. And as u know…If someone can’t die at the most powerful_awful_darkness_virus ever, then he dies for sure(I mean this for the virus not for Mr. Bones…) and there he goes. The rain stopped, The fire stopped too, but only the smoke was still there…No one to hear, No one to Listen, no one to see, only dead people on the street…but can someone stay in a city where no one was living in it any more? NO! And how I said the main character don’t die before winning, but he dies after…He went to the bridge, where no one was there to tell him to stop, and as it goes the title, he is now “To Close To The Light”.The End
