It Was A Dream? - A PsyberX Origin Story

I'm a huge fan of games, and now there's a play2earn game built on the blockchain. I learnt about PsyberX when @ksam share the LVL token as giveaway in our WhatsApp group chat, I showed interest in the game immediately and he send the discord link which I join ASAP. I made a couples of research on the project, attended the AMA and have also participated in some series of PsyberX giveaway contest. Few days ago I stumbled across another PsyberX contest organized by @bobthebuilder2 you can check it out here

It's a contest to write a story or, more specifically, to finish the blockquotes below to relate the pre-PsyberX world with PsyberX. I was piqued. Despite the fact that I am not a prolific writer, After my dinner on Saturday I took out my notepad, and begin to write. I finished the storyline, added markdowns, and designed the cover image using the Canva App this morning.

We've been living in this house for a few years. Nothing would have really prepared me for what was about to happen. Sure, they told us that if a disaster ever hit that we'd just have to hide in our basement and put on gas masks...that everything would blow over quickly. That's not exactly how it happened.
I was sweeping the floor in my kitchen, occasionally glancing out the kitchen window to catch glimpses of the green hillsides and to enjoy the singing of the birds nearby. With a ponytail and whispers falling at my cheeks, my three little children were playing in the living room. It was at this moment, while I was leaning against my broom with a sun-splashed warmth coating my dress and apron, that I saw a flash of light. Almost immediately there was a plume of green and purple smoke shooting up with an orange tinged halo near the origin of the flash.

TO THE BASEMENT!!! NOW!!!"

Immediately I saw it I went into a state of utter shock,I had never seen anything like this ever.

My dog, @ksam was barking, but my mind was still in a state of shock and chaos, then I saw the smoke entering through the open kitchen window and through the sinks, that was when I had a grip on myself and knew that we weren't safe. The smoke was coming in fast and I knew I had to be faster.

In all my life, I have never been an athletic kind of person but, that day I raced thinking of my kids and how to protect them by all means.

In that millisecond of running, I remembered @ksam and I turned only to see that the smoke has consumed him and his barking was cut short only to see the smoke pass by him and leaving behind of his decapitated body.

Christ, I shouted, at that moment , a realization hit me and I knew that I and my kids where seriously in danger.

That feeling of responsibility and love made it more easy for me to run across the living room and picked @starstrings01, my three year old son, and piggy backed him, I then carried @rem-steem, my five year old daughter on my tummy and held @josediccus, my ten year old son and together we raced towards the basement.

My husband @bobthebuilder2 was a wholesaler in dry products such as flours, crackers, cake mixes, seasonings and canned goods, so our basement was airtight. I knew we were only safe for the mean time and without wasting time I immediately wore a gas mask for each kid, I knew this wasn't over but I stay down to catch my breath and gather my scattered thoughts and emotions.

Then like our whole house was sucked in by a vacuum cleaner, I looked around only stop see an open field which used to be my house and the smoke surrounding us almost consuming us and I held my kids nearer waiting for the worst.
''it was a dream?" I asked myself, I was still on shock, it felt so real and I was completely covered in sweat even as the air conditioner was at it's peak.

Then I felt a presence in my room and I turned to see a shadow at my door, I turned on the light switch, only for me see the same plume of green and purple coloured smoke entering through my wide opened door, that moment I knew it was the end for me.
