Year 2026,
Spring has started. Everyone is enjoying their time in the backyard but me I'm copped up in my room. You say why ? Bruh, it's because everything is boring.
My name is Ziro. I live in with parents and siblings in south Asia's most densely populated country Bangladesh. It's really hectic everywhere I look around I found people buzzing around, cars are honking nonstop, there isn't any peace of mind here.i hate this city life it's all the same everyday.
Knock! knock!
"Shilpi Ziro's mother"
Ziro are you in their your friend is waiting outside.Yes, mother coming .
Thinking....I don't have that many friends Iam in college now but my friends are all I made in childhood or in school and it's rare that we meet.
Ziro came down with his slow steps anyone can tell he doesn't sleep at night with those dark circles like his eyes are crying for sleep.
He saw Jamal his childhood friend who had moved from his city to southeast village called berham village.Ziro,hey wassup how have you been?...jamal,well fine I think would you prefer going out ?
sound of door.....mother we are going outside for a moment. Shilpi, ok don't be late for dinner.
They starting walking in the nearest park and saying, you know Jamal it's boring to live in this city how are you doing in the village have you became the chief by chance.
No, stop with your dead jokes, it's nothing like that I just breath fresh air and you breath polluted air. Ziro, was that an insult or fact I didn't get it?!... Jamal, It was both.
Ok anyway why did you came you say?
Oh yeah, I had come for my certificate of graduation from school I forgot to get it earlier when I shifted from here.Ziro..So, when are you leaving? Jamal , tomorrow morning I guess. Ziro,Then why don't you stay with us for night we can play games like old Day's. Jamal well we can I think. Ziro, then it's done and dusted.
Door open sound... Mother we are home Jamal will stay here with us for the night. Mother,ok go get fresh up.
After dinner in Ziro's room, hey can't you play well fool because of you I'm losing, Ziro.
Hey shit head I haven't played for years now what you expect from me.im not like you playing for days like this,Jamal. Oh yeah,loser giving excuses.
A loud burst of sound..they saw a devil standing in darkness with a broom in hand. hey you two stop quarreling and sleep it's already 1pm night .
I can't sleep because of you two screaming,said "Joy" Ziro's father.
Both replied with fear,ok.....
Tik ...tok
tik.... tok
It's 6 am holiday everyone sleeping.Jamal has woken up.As Jamal has woken he realized sun hasn't come out yet. It was unusual but he thought because of pollution and fog sun light must be weaken . He then started packing his beg.
6:30 am it's really concerning for him as he can't see any light the whole world is still dark as if the night didn't end. He started shaking Ziro .hey ..hey.. wake up shit head.
Ziro, what's the matter it's Friday can't I sleep some more.. Jamal huh sleep in your grave but wake up now for God sake.huh.. what's the matter. Jamal, it's the sun... Ziro, son?? But I didn't get married though?!.. Jamal with his fist hitting the head of Ziro and saying wake up you piece of shit who ever gonna marry you anyway I'm talking about sun u freak. Ok ok I'm woken up but what sun ? Jamal.. you see It's 6:40 am now but I don't see any light as if the night hasn't ended and I checked my phone ,watch ,table watch if the time was correct or not but time is absolutely correct.what the hell are you talking are you drank or what but anyway it should be because of pollution and fog. Jamal...no it's not ahh!!! Come see for yourself. Ziro,Ok ok I will see what ghost stories your maki...what the hell? Hey is it really 6;40 now why is still this dark outside?! How come I know let's go down and wake up uncle aunt. Ziro,ok..lets do that first.
Ziro,hey mom dad wake up please something is very wrong going on here .mom dad ....huh where did they go ?
Jamal,Are they in the kitchen or something? Ziro,let's search. After some time Ziro, hey I can't find them anywhere in house .yeah as if they weren't home last night. ziro,but they were home remember we got busted last night...yeah but my insights are saying something is wrong really really wrong.
Knock knock.
Ziro,Hmm..is that you mom,dad ?
Jamal, hey don't open the door..what why ?
I can't tell but my sense's are screaming at me for not opening the door. Hey relax I know something weird going on but it can be mom and dad knocking on the door let's just check it out first.
Jamal with eyes wide open saying stop it's not them I can't tell you how but as I have lived in the village my sense has sharpen in some way I can tell their's something.. something inhumane outside the feeling I can't describe. Ziro,ok.. but I will stay put but if they speak rather than knocking I will open it . Jamal..ok deal.
After 5 minute knocking stopped.
They breath a sense of relief. They don't know what is happening but for some reason network is not working also.
Suddenly, the tv turned on.
On the tv screen they're written in a language that is new to them but they can understand as if it's their native language.
It's says , "WElCOME survivors"
'Welcome to planet blue Star."
