Memories of Mia's past life...

They called me Miasma, ironic really as I was the last child born on earth before humanity was cleansed. Sometime ago we could walk outside and enjoy the air. Not long before my birth there was a great calamity. The likes of which humanity had never seen. The air first became poison then people went nuts. Cities fell like cards beneath the plight.

Despite government attempts to calm people down and even though there was an abundance of supplies for each and every person, humanity seemed to fall. People weren't pleased by the idea of toxic air nor were they interested in a respirator that could essentially never come off. Crime rates sky rocketed and bodies filled the streets. Walking alone at night was a death wish, while it seemed some nights day would never come.

I was recruited by OR when I was 10. The organization to regenerate was comprised of a number of ranks. You might think they are activists, I mean the name really does sound like tree huggers. It isn't like that at all. Most of us totted around in riot suits, breaking into enemy territory blazing guns. A lot of OR was scientists attempting to find a cure to replenish oxygen into the air. Those that weren't were called Clove Operatives.

I was a Clove.

The end of Miasma

I considered cutting today. Unplugging or removing it seemed a bit unfruitful. It was so new. I want the toxins to enter my blood stream and rot me from the inside out. Removing it only ended in asphyxiation, what a boring way to go. I wanted to paint the walls with blood. It seemed like no one ever saw blood any more, as if it didn't exist. Our lives lacked as much art as it had oxygen. Something about the world ending sucked beauty out of the world. The sky was always a neutral grey. Everything was just grey.

"Mia"

I heard a call from behind me interrupting my daze, "Let's go."

We got the word. The word came once a week. When it came it was time to paint the city. I rushed through the room pulling on my riot gear. I detested a lunch of bland disgust and ingested the required pills before we could leave. Due to the lack of sunlight from the grey, which they claimed was our collapsed sun, we lack the vitamin D required to be happy. Everyone young and old was forced to take vitamins along with prozac to stop people from going insane. I strapped my rifle to my back and moved on.

The ride to our mission was uneventful as usually, I drove today while my partner briefed me on the mission. I didn't listen. When we arrived it was calm as usual. Always too calm. We opened the doors to a dim lit building. I began scanning while my partner maintained the area.

Something scurried across the ground. Next thing I knew I heard gun shots. My partner stood above a dead creature. It was a critter of some kind. Life escaped it's body with a hiss and dust fluttered into the air. I heard another scurry and turned to shoot one quickly. Then I felt it, the rush of pain hit me. One of them bit me. Dizziness got the best of me, I attempted to defend myself from the creatures. I whipped out my rifle, but by that time I was mostly lost. I spun wildly shooting into the air shooting at anything that caught my eye.

I woke up later to find my partners smashed mask and his lifeless corpse.

That went well...

I stumbled off the ground and grabbed my rifle using it as a crutch to walk. I noticed the lighting had improved a bit. As I staggered around the building, I started to notice a part of the world I never witnessed before. There was paintings everywhere. Art, sculptures, a past everyone in the new world had forgotten. The pain in my leg seemed to be getting worse.

I had deemed a painting of two young girls holding hands was my favourite. It was beautiful. Something about it made the grey world around me turn bright. Maybe unplugging wouldn't be so bad. If this wound didn't do it, that would. At least I could enjoy my last few moments. I removed my mask first. Then I unhinged my respirator. Within moments my eyes became heavy, I dragged my hand across the painting reaching out to the girls, a past I never knew. I'm getting very tired, I think I might sleep.

Epilogue

I took a deep breath and smiled exhaling. The world around me full of life and beauty. I watched two young girls playing on a swing set, after they were done they skipped away holding hands. I decided to paint it, something about the image seemed vaguely familiar and as I stroked the brush to complete the image, I gazed up at the clear blue sky.

It was perfect.
