We had to move night would soon befall the Tribe of the Humans ,we needed shelter and now I am called Renee Wally war had broken out,death swept our planet,in days even children were not immune from it,no one was.cities fell our once great planet was lost,but we never gave up,across the planet we existed as tribes but we had no way of reaching or calling out to one another for help,in less time then it came up with the ideas of radio,tv and the most powerful tool of all, the internet,as one idiot pressed a button launching missiles from an underground base our world of technology was gone we were like we were once long ago,cavemen,but now we then too were smart cavemen,stranded alone and desperate for companions of any type,' There follow me ,'I told a group of men and women and they did we found a cave and tunnels and like those cave people long ago we started to live in caves again,how ironic wasn't it. Once a civilization bound for the stars themselves now we're as weak as the animals that inhabit ,at least our minds are still intact maybe just maybe we can start over again. So what does an once mighty civilization that ruled over this planet for centuries do now,we had fire the wheel every bit of our knowledge was there in our minds but what do we do with it now of there was a time in my life I was scared it was now,not for myself or those with me but for our civilization as entire race that once was a proud one now it was on the same level of intelligent as monkeys. Since this cave itself had tunnels some of us braver men and women were selected into teams to to explore them while the rest of us stay here to protect the oly new home we had now,even though it a a cave,our group had consisted of a then to hundred,our town was called Coastline since where it was located.But it was nearly destroyed by a tidal wave that weathermen had predicted,children were few we had about twenty they stayed near the front ,sun was still out but we had no clue as to the area where these caves were our town people knew because surfers came,the oldest child was a teenager name Eric he was my son.We stayed to protect the cave from outsiders or protectors as it were,while the rest of the group split in three and explored the tunnels,our new day as the new civilization had just started.'Dad,' commented my son Eric as we sat in one corner of the cave,' What about nights,it does get cold and food the children are going to get hungry.'I smile' all grown up,now responsible teenager,'When did you become so responsible,your only fifteen.' He laughed,'I guess you forgot last year I spent my birthday with mom,before all this happened.' I nodded,'Before all this happened' Damn I cursed under my breath.' Well I promise you Eric we will get back to being the dominate species of this planet,we had a bit of a downfall is all.' Eric nodded looking at his dad who was forty eight now,' That's why I loe you dad.'said Eric smiling,hugging his father .As we were talking one of the eldest members of the Tribe of Humans,a sevemty two year old woman name,Ellie walked up to me,she had a concern look on her face,'Your Renee Wally,aren'you.' I nodded to her,' Yes ma'am,what can we help you with,this is my son Eric.' She smiled,' my husband went with one of groups through the tunnels,do you think he'll be alright .' she asked I tried too reassure her the best I could, Yes ma'am,it's just an old cave that's all,'I told her,'the human race needs to start over again and we all must help out,we just had a downfall,a reverse boom as it were.' She smiled,'Thankyou Renee you made me feel a little better.'then she turned and left us alone.
