NICOLAS

Summer, 2036. Madrid, Spain. It was a warm night with a mournful atmosphere. Everyone of us were silent, just looking at each other's faces. The little hut where we had passed the last four years was suffering the consequences of the thunderous storm. Authorities had forbidden to get out of home. However, the message was received one month ago and we have no clue about what is happening outside at the moment. Inside the house, we were running out of canned food.

We tried to get out of the hut, but it was impossible.  The storm was carrying us. It lifted my little brother off the ground and my pregnant mother couldn't walk in the wind. So I decided to take my motorcycle and go to Mercadona to buy some canned food. I bought cans of fried tomato, pickle and asparagus. The place was almost empty, there was no food left, it was as if they took a long time without replenishing it. And I only saw a couple shopping, no one else.

I witnessed a desolate landscape on my way home, trees detached from their roots, and the typical footsteps of a storm of such magnitude, but there was something that really caught my attention, it was the sight of two children playing in a park, they seemed to be on their own, despite the fact they looked very young. I decided to stop for a moment to ask them the reason they were there and if they were alone, but as soon as I stepped a foot in the small park, they disappeared.

I stood still for a moment, distrusting of what I had seen. I analyzed the park, thinking they'd just moved very fast and I'd somehow missed it, but they were nowhere in sight. I tried to brush off the eerie event and started walking towards the motorcycle so as to get back to my family, but the food I'd gotten was gone. I tried to find it, searching hastily around and under the motorcycle. Could it have been those strange children who took it?

I started to look around, between trees and debris, and I heard a noise. I took a step forward with precaution and slowly, and I saw a person with a small girl, around five or six years old. The old person had a bandage around the eyes filled with blood. Both had their clothes dirty and sloppy. I came even closer and I saw how the small girl and the old man were eating what I had previously bought. The girl saw me and she got scared, but I told them that they shouldn't be afraid.

By Ariana Espada

The girl instantly turned again and said "I'm not scared, are you?", I replied saying that everyone is scared in this situation as the storm had left us in a horrible state. The girl ignored my little speech and told me "You should be more scared than you are" , that freaked me out and I grabbed the girl to ask her why she said that, the girl immediately started shouting and the old man started running away, when I grabbed the girl I appreciated a mark on her arm that said "Marselo" , it was the last thing I remember before falling unconscious.

I woke up in a cave, I did not know the day it was. The only thing I knew was that I could not move at all, because I was tied to a big rock. Suddenly a huge round and white figure appeared in front of me and asked me: "Do you know who am I? I answered "No I don't, Where am I? " 'It' (apparently I did not have the chance of recognising its gender) told me: "I am Marselo". I told it "Marselo what" then it told me "My surname is Hagachatei Konoselo. I come from an african family so that is why it sounds so strange. Do not blame me please because traditionally my family was cannibal, so I am too." (José Gálvez) 

Then, a horrorous feeling took over me, I did not realize that my leg had disappeared, now, I understood why.

I was freaking out by that moment, I could not do anything, and Marselo was observing me as if I were a piece of cake. Suddenly, Marselo started saying nonsense things, like those typical film rituals, I have to admit that I laughed a bit because it seemed he was saying things such us "Mariaina, haizme Mamha ei tei piago mañaina".

I did not thought that the African was so funny, but i think it was not a good moment to think about that, when he finished the ritual, he stared at my elbow for a minute. (Hugo)

As he had almost half an arm eaten, I needed to do something, so then I told him; 

if I beat you to a rock paper scissors with my half arm you set me free. He agreed, and we started playing the most intense game I've ever had, and I won. He untied me and then I spanked him with my arm, knocking him unconscious, at first I thought of leaving, but then I saw that succulent deltoid and I don't know why, but I tried it.  Pablo

I liked the taste of that man more than every other feeling I have had in my life. When only his bones were left I prepared to get up, but it wasn't that easy as I had loose one leg and almost one arm. I got out of the cave, took a branch from a tree and started moving as I could. After hours of walking I finally arrive to my neighborhood, and a few minutes later I was at my street, but something strange happened. When I arrive to the number that belonged to my portal, there was nothing. I stared at the wall for a few seconds when someone call me “Mike”, I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed in my room, then I looked stunned at my legs and arms and realize they were actually there, I wasn't missing any part of my body. My mum called me again “Mike come here, fast, look at the news”,I put the television as she had ordered me and in that moment I started remembering everything, it seems that being locked up at home was starting to make me go crazy. By Isabel

The news were saying the same as the past few months: do not go out of your house it is very dangerous, you will be punished if you are caught, bla bla bla, always the same. I was getting bored. 

For a week, I could not stop having the same dream, every single night. At first, I did not give it any importance. But one day, I started to think that maybe the dream had some meaning, what if my subconscious was trying to tell my something, and in that case, what was it? By Sofía

I didn't have a clue of what could it be, when suddenly my mum told me “Mike, we are running out of food and the delivery man that should be coming every single month has been delayed for one week, and as you are the old brother you should go”. In that moment I was frozen, it was exactly as what happened in my dream. I started pinching my face to make sure it was not a dream, and it wasn´t. I told my mum we should wait some more days but she told me we could not. So, I had no choice and went to buy. By Moe

I tried to go as fast as a I could, and changing as many things as possible from that nightmare that had been haunting me for the past couple of days. I had mentally prepared myself for that moment, if I saw the kids, I would run as fast as my motorbike could go. Finally, I finished my shopping, and, in order to avoid any risks, I decided to take a longer route to go home, what I didn’t know was that what I would face there would be worse than that horrendous nightmare. By Pedro 

I continued my way home when I suddenly realized I'd forgotten my cell phone in the supermarket. So I came back, as any of us would have done. I was scared, not just because of the nightmare, but because of the police. But I realized I was finally out of my house. I decided to relax and started to enjoy the warm air hitting my face, the smell of summer, which everyone knows which smell is but no one knows how to explain where it comes from. I started remembering those days in the Retiro park with my friends, under the shadow of a tree playing card games or talking. I didn't know what I had until all of this happened. I didn't appreciate those moments, and know they were gone for who knows how much time. By Ana Pérez

Finally, the Sun was shining over Madrid. This actually looked impossible after the catastrophe that destroyed most of the city, and the following storm, but finally, things were looking better for our poor country. After Prime Minister Peter Santos had been ousted by the Great Revolution, the new officeholder, a former minister and close ally of Santos himself called Luis de Avalon, had levied the confinement. That afternoon, massive rallies were held in support of the newborn Republic. By Miguel

I was named the leader of the opposition and because Luis de Avalon had a secret meeting with a girl from Venezuela’s dictatorship called Dulcinea, I decided to make a coup, and restore the guillotine. I killed all those communist, and as I hated a lot Pablo Conventos and Peter Santos, before behead them, I tortured them, because they lead Spain to the biggest crisis that it had never experienced, Spain now was considered like Syria, a country that, after the war that I won, was impoverished. By Gonzalo 

I decided there was only to recover social and economic stability was to adapt the South Korean way, which consisted in me and and a group of fellow revolutionary leaders, known as government, started forcing investment in national companies. Although it was not as effective as with the Koreans because this is Spain, and Spain is different, a sense of calm return to the streets. Unfortunately, this would not last any longer.    By Andrés  

The calm in the streets came because the investments done permitted big enterprises to hire lots of employees. But slowly the market became totally controlled by this big companies, and all the small businessmen started an organised revolution against the government and all those supporting them. They created the ¨Revolution of the unattended¨.Manuel Ruiz

The revolution at first was really calm, only a few strikes but as the time was passing by, the strikes began to be more aggressive. People started fighting in the strikes, although it wasn’t too dangerous, the tourist stopped visiting the cities where the strikes were having place, leading to a drop-off of the tourist industry. From that moment the local industry started to fall too, leading to another crisis. But the worst was yet to come… Elisa

Due to the huge crisis, the strikes intensified. As a result, the number of deaths had greatly increased and the population had fallen into depravity. The streets were no longer safe, and the military forces, that were now controlled by the companies, constantly tried to suppress the strikes. However, they were usually overwhelmed due to the power that held the civils thanks to the help that offered other countries, like China or Venezuela, that hated the private property and, therefore all the companies. Jacobo

Strike after strike and the situation worsened exponentially. The citizens were now more divided than ever, and instead of trying to work together to can reach an agreement for our best, they were focusing in doing the worst for the rest. But one day the most feared by the spanish population happened and the course of the country changed. Laura 

In the middle of a war which was being held in every street, a new shakedown the population. Spain had won Eurovision. La Salchipapa was now a very famous hit and everybody celebrated it together as if nothing had happened. And the funniest thing is that I was the singer of that song. The idea came to my mind because that was the only thing I had been able to buy when I went to the supermarket. Javier

After all the drama and dangerous activities that had been going in the streets for months this was the best that could had happen to Spain. Eurovision had a prize of 20 million euros for the winner which in this case was "Misco 33" a young revolutionary teenager that just wanted to make his techno music and live of it. Some months later "Misco 33" decided to invest all the money he had won in small companies to put back spanish economy again in a great place. Couple years passed by and Spain had grew so much in economical and militar power that they decided to attack the United States, it was a rough war but Spain could finish the work as planned. After that Spain was considered the leader of half of the world and the principal mission they had as a country was to massacre the rest of the population and be as powerful as they could.
