The Last Skater

Chapter 1: Unwelcome guest.

January 1, 2019

It has been 5 years since the world technically “Ended.” The result is that I was left alone on this planet for some time. I would have gone completely insane. (Note that I said completely I am still insane.) But fortunately I have been doing what I love most.

Skateboarding

Some would kill themselves, but I found much comfort in skateboarding. I skate every day when I had the time. Usually I was gathering food and supplies and putting it in the “Locker”, which is a big storage unit where I put most of my stuff in. I've got spare skateboards, video games, weapons, food. You name it. I have been collecting things for the past 4 years. (By the way there are no zombies!)

I would usually keep things that are most important in my pack. Usually a spare skateboard a couple cans of food, first aid, and a broom for clearing out concrete roads so I can skate without obstacles.

I decided to start writing in this journal to keep a record of my life. Here is a short bio that I have created.

NAME: Dylan Richards

  AGE: 17

SEX: Male

EYE COLOR: Blue

SKIN COLOR: White

DATE OF BIRTH: April 23, 1998

CITIZENSHIP (Former): USA

Well thats all I am going to stop with the bio maybe I will update it once I am done. Anyways I  have been skating for exactly 6 years now and since I have so much time on my hands I have learned and customized multiple things. I now control all electricity and route it to one city. Oh! I forgot to mention! I live in Dallas, Texas. (I hate country music by the way. Don’t add to the stereotype that people from texas are country)

I won’t bore you with the details but I keep tabs on every electricity unit in the Texas. Also I built walls around the city to keep unwanted wildlife out. Don’t ask me how. It took me much of the second year to complete it. I have never worked so hard in my life! But it was also a good thing. I have built up most of my muscles while working. Though I keep my self slim I don’t want to be big big just a little muscular.

Since I finished I focused more on skateboarding. While doing that I patrol the inside the wall to make sure everything is in order. Since then I have become quite skilled with the art. Anyway time for bed.

Today I did an extra round around the wall just to be sure. It was like my gut was telling me something. So following my gut I found something very strange on the east wall there was an outline of a big circle. I was at least 4 meters tall and 4 meters wide. The strange thing was that I didn't do it. So I got closer and investigated. My hand crept forward to touch it then.

Boom!

It came to life in a range of colors flashing like a rainbow. As pure instinct I jumped on my skateboard and rode away from the scene. I rode by 2 buildings before launching myself into an apartment complex. I ran up the stairs and went into one of the rooms on the third floor plopping my stuff on the bed I pulled out a pair of binoculars. aiming at the east wall.

I stared at the circle of colors trying to understand what was happening. While I was wondering what the thing was a leg stepped out. I ceased my thoughts and focused on the limb hanging out of the thing that must be a portal. The weird thing was the leg was bent a little and instead of a foot it had a … hoof?

Finally the rest of its body came out. It looked more like a horse than a human. It wore Gold armor with a blue mohawk on top of its helmet, which looks more like a greek hoplite helmet. Once he (Assuming it is an he) came out another came out. Then more, and more. Soon a whole platoon came out. I noticed that some had wings and some had horns and some had neither. Deciding to get out of their I quietly ran to the “Locker” and decided to sleep there with a bat in my hand.

Last Human on earth,

Sorry I haven’t written for a while but as soon as I woke up I went out skateboarding and I thought the events of January the second was me being drunk…. I wasn’t. There was conflict between me and a couple Charlie (That is the name I am giving them. I decided to use an Vietnam term) I was skateboarding around when two Charlies wearing some type of blue spandex uniform came out of nowhere.

I sped away on my skateboard hoping to get away. The one with rainbow hair chased me.

Here is the events in detail:

I pushed off the ground behind me as I skated away just to see that one of the spandex wearing Charlie had wings and was flying after me. It was going to be seconds before I am caught. I kicked a few more times gaining speed until I could think of something. I rolled around a corner to see a big pipe. skating towards it I crouched on my skateboard and went inside. (This is why I like having a tall but slim frame.) I knew the Charlie couldn't fit inside so I happily rode away. Seeing light I knew I was at the end of the huge pipe. I flew out but there was it was not connected to land.

I was now flying in mid air. I heard flapping so I turned my head holding the side of the skateboard to see the same rainbow haired colored charlie form before. It looked like she was trying to catch me. I looked down and saw that I was falling towards a pit with a slim pipe hanging over it. I varied my options.

a.)Fall to my doom.

b.)Let the Charlie catch me.

You might think the exact same thing. But you forgot option C. The skating option. You see

real skaters see the world differently. You might see a handrail as something to help guide you. A skater would see a sick 50/50 grind, or a sweet nose grind. We see objects with more than one purpose. A tall bench could be something you would sit on. A skater would see something cool to ollie over.

Another example is an empty swimming pool. Some may see it as a pool needed to be filled. Skaters see it as a cool bowl to skate in.

So I chose option C and did a 50/50 grind across the pit on that slim pipe. The Charlie looked surprised but kept going after me. I was back on the ground with nothing to use to evade the Charlie.  Soon I felt something knock me of my skateboard…. HARD. I rolled over the ground and felt my left elbow sting. using my right hand I rolled over and looked at it. There was blood all over it.

“Gazet rominaz uta ycarr ti…. Uzentag?”  Said a feminine voice. I looked over to the Charlie tosee that it was indeed female. Its curves were very different from the other Charlies’ that I have seen. I tried to get up but it gently placed a hand on my chest keeping me down. She then got a piece of cloth and wrapped it around my bloody elbow. Her hand was then removed. I smiled as I could feel that her guard was down.

Now let me tell you about skaters. When we get hurt we don’t feel the full force until later. I said my elbow stung. But when I escaped (I will tell you how I escaped after my mini rant.) I t hurt so much. I gagged my mouth and injected myself with pain killers. So we literally feel no pain. (We kinda feel it but that’s my pride talking.)

Seeing that she thought I was severely hurt I grabbed her by the neck and shot up bringing my hand to the side of it. She was knocked clean out. I looked around to see that I was at the school. I sighed as I picked her up and set her in the shade. I picked up my skateboard and walked home with caution.

Last survivor in the world,

It’s been a long time since the “Battle of 50/50” as I am calling it. I am now relocating most of my stuff on a hidden camouflaged tank that I found. (Yes I have a tank. And yes I know how to drive it. YouTube was created for a reason guys!) Just in case I needed to move out of the city. When I first made the walls I had a hidden door that at least a couple 18 wheelers or a train could fit through. Well that’s all I got for today.

        Last ninja in the world,

Dylan
