Everything on Earth will feel the effects. Write a story from the perspective of a non-human thing or being. Tell us how the end of the […]

Oh how I love this silly prompt! Since the Wargames movie in 1983, I’ve always wondered what would happen if what was played out by the computer wanting to play thermonuclear war actually carried out the plans it had for human destruction on a global thermonuclear scale. I’ll write my perspective of the computer realizing […]

I’m all alone. My companion has not returned as he has a million times before. Something is wrong. My dad put me in this cold place underground and left me here. He gave me some pets, told me he would be right back. That was when the big explosion happened. I am scared, so I start to whine and claw […]

The goal is to create a short story about post-apocalyptic life through the perspective of a non-human. I decided to pick the perspective before deciding how the apocalypse happened. This led me to Michael the robot in his self made apocalypse. Below is his story. Today is the 251st day of the year 3120 and…

This is the link to the original assignment. This assignment asked me to create a story after the human apocalypse. I am choosing to act as a robot that the humans created before they all were demolished. I decided to bring the 80s year into this assignment. The apocalypse happened when the humans tried to create a robot that was in charge of atomic warfare bombs. One engineer knew this was a bad idea from the start and tried to put a stop to it. The other engineer who’s idea was this, told him to go to hell. Well I

This writing assignment is in homage to Black Mirror, Season 4, Episode 5: Metalhead. The GIF on the assignment page is what inspired me! I created directories, files, and code such that it depicts the story from the killer machine’s point of view – told from the recovery file on its hard rive. We can […]

Everyone is gone. My humans are gone. I am left without a home and I am all alone. I have been searching for my people for a couple of days now and I am starving. I haven’t found any people, but I have found another fellow dog. He says his name is Jack and he …

The Wolves Face The Apocalypse

Being a wolf has never been too hard. We are the predator, while most other animals are the prey. However, life changed for us in a bad way when the apocalypse hit. It was just before dark on January 20th, when a large meteor hit the Earth’s surface at a devastatingly fast rate. The explosion […]

Last night my mom and I fell asleep watching a sad movie. I think it was sad because she was crying, so I snuggled her and licked her face. Her tears were really salty. I really don’t know why she was so upset but I am worried about her. I did not sleep well… there …

Finally, the humans are gone. The humans, along with all other “living” beings were obliterated in the apocalypse. Even for me, a mere speck of dirt, the apocalypse was absolutely terrifying. I was thrown around from field to forest to sidewalks to anywhere you can imagine. I am so relieved that horrible experience is over. Currently, I …

Humans End, Cats Begin

Domestic cats are told “no” probably more than any other pet humans had. One can imagine that cats were not too disappointed when humans begin quickly disappearing due to a virus that only affected their species. Cats could finally live. Many around the world were locked into houses from which they could not escape, but the…
