The story so far:
01.01.01
Day 1 of my new life.
Rain is pounding above my head. I managed to find a piece of roofing to stay under tonight, the skies are black, even though it should be noon about now. My watch broke in the accident, and nothing seems to be working. I found a lot of pencils, as well as this journal so hopefully I'll be able to keep track of this new world. You may have noticed that I numbered this 01.01.01 that's because I can't remember the true date, and the way things are going it's probably not going to matter ever again. If your reading this, I'm probably dead and you know what's happened. I might as well start in the beginning though, it's as good a place as any.
My name is technically X0214, but I prefer to be called Stan. I look 25, although my real age is 2. I'm a clone too, should probably mention that. I was one of the first, a secret experiment to enhance humans. It failed, and I turned out perfectly normal. Mordavi Corp was a front company, I don't know who provided the money, but whoever it was provided a lot of it. I don't remember my childhood, and only in the last month have I been out of the facility. I escaped a few days after rains started, they weakened a wall and I ran as fast as I could. Anyway, back to the story.
A few days ago, something happened. The rains turned to acid, bringing down buildings, melting trees, destroying people. Chaos followed, the streets where packed with cars trying to escape the city, more people died. The acid didn't effect some things, metal was safe, as was concrete, but plastic, trees, people, hell even the paint off building all dissolved. I have only been outside for a few days, and tonight is the first time it's rained. It's terrifying. The rain hisses when it hits the ground, and even under the sheet of roofing I still feel exposed. Oh, shit. I need to go, the rain is seeping along the ground towards me.
Sorry about that, the rain was seeping under the metal and melting my shoes. I managed to dash to a car before dropping the metal, and I didn't get splashed with any acid. The car doesn't work, probably out of gas, and the roof is dripping acid into the back seat. Hopefully the rain will stop soon, and I'll be able to find somewhere else to stay during the night. The rain on the roof seems way, way too close. I'm gonna try and get some sleep, but I doubt I'll be able to with all this hissing.
01.02.01
Something happened last night. After the rain stopped, I heard voices just outside the car. I crouched low in the car and hid. After a few moments of talking, i rolled down the window a bit to hear them better. Apparently, they're part of a gang that controls a few blocks, including the one I'm in now. They where talking about Dragons, which I'm guessing is another gang that they're competing with. Apparently, there's a stock of food somewhere around here, could be useful, since my stomach is already growling from hunger.
