GLOBAL PUBLIC SCHOOL 2021 |
It was the cold months of winter , in the soviet union ......... But as if the country wasn ’ t always , generally cold .......... It was the government that made it even colder ....... The rise of communism ...... Or more so referred to as , ‘ Leninism ’, took an immediate stand after the fall of the Romanov family . In an effort to overthrow dictatorship and autocracy , and to establish worker ’ s rights , they killed the Romanov family , only to become dictators themselves . Of course with the power of such a country that can be measured all the way from West to East , you tend to not want to lose it , and thus become an autocrat yourself . What was it that he said ? |
Fascism is capitalism in decay
But the plural irony of it is that he became the face of fascism . After him came Stalinism , and all the others who just couldn ’ t shake off the sheer realisation of being able to control and manipulate the actions of the grand USSR .
But even after all that , I am a firm supporter of the worker ’ s party , and here I am , against my will , asked to look out for homeless people who have taken up residence in the abandoned city of Chernobyl .
Workers deserve their rights . Huh , then where is my right . I didn ’ t want to be here alone in the cold winter , looking out for beggars and some old hags , lower than me that probably shouldn ’ t deserve my attention . I know , that ’ s probably the bourgeoisie side in me talking . But the point was ........ I didn ’ t want to be here ....
A few months ago , a nuclear failure forced everyone in Chernobyl to evacuate and remain as far away as possible from
|
the contaminated zone ..... If people were supposed to stay far away from it , then why the hell was I told to enter it ? Some vagabonds trespass a restricted area , that is their fault ...... Not mine ...... But I still had to go ..... Because unfortunately the cost of my job was greater than the cost of my life .....
Driving on the narrow highway , surrounded by dead trees , to Chernobyl gave me the willies . Although it was still fresh in the morning , going to a city that was once bustling with life , and now just a city reduced to dust , made me shrink inside . I couldn ’ t imagine going to a city , and just being there alone , walking and looking for homeless people .
The road was ice laminated , and my pickup was starting to drift off into the wrong lane , not that it would matter , considering there was no one on the road ..... And that led me into a sense of security , and I started to become more comfortable around my surroundings . And that may have caused my downfall ......
As I had said earlier , it was the fresh morning hours , and I barely had four hours of sleep . And seeing that there wasn ’ t anyone on the road , I dozed off .
I don ’ t know how long I was gone , but it was very brief . I fell into a nightmare ........
I was alone in a forest . I was cold , and hungry . Then somehow I came about an underground cellar , inside it , I was invited to a dark abyss . I then remember an evil laughter running across the cellar , and I was pushed into it by an unknown force . That force then locked me inside ......... There were no windows , and nothing I could use to pry open the metallic door .

There was no escape ........
I jolted awake ......... Only to see a sharp curve .......... There was nothing I could do ........ I was too late , as the car crashed into a tree , and my head hit directly into the steering wheel ....... And then everything went blank ........
I must have been out for a few hours , because when I opened my eyes , the Sun was high up in the sky . The car was totaled , and wouldn ’ t move . I felt around myself , and touched the cold sensation of blood dripping down my head , but thankfully the cut wasn ’ t severe . I looked around myself , and only saw miles of trees . There wasn ’ t a single soul on the road .
The closest city was Chernobyl , and that was uninhabited . I got out of the car , and immediately fell down to my knees . My legs were frozen stiff , and were cramped . I crawled to a tree , and managed to pull myself into a vertical base . My head was dizzy , and I couldn ’ t really walk straight , as my vision was blurred .
I held my hands up like a zombie , and tried to feel around for things to guide me because I couldn ’ t trust my vision . I must have been walking like that for a few minutes , when suddenly I heard the growl of a bear . And in the distance I could see a brown bear , on its hind legs ....... It had picked up my scent , and was walking towards me . I froze , not due to the climate , but I literally froze in the spot , fear was swelling up inside me .
The bear was getting closer , and I didn ’ t know if I did it because of instinct or a last minute resort , but I laid down and played dead . I could hear the heavy steps of the bear , as it made its way
