The story of the disaster and the old man
In the year 2042, the world has been devastated by climate change and nuclear war, and the few remaining humans live in small, isolated communities, struggling to survive.
One day there was a young girl named Anya hunting when she found a strange sight there in the middle of the forest. When Anya approached, there was a large metal capsule. Anya had never seen such a thing before. So Anya cautiously approached the capsule and looked inside.
She was amazed when she saw a man inside. He was lying on a bed and connected to a variety of machines. He was an old and frail man with long white hair and a beard.
Anya extended her hand to touch the man. He opened his eyes, looked at her with a mixture of confusion and fear, and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m Anya from the village over there,” she said.
The man said: “The village?” I don’t know what you mean.
Anya realized that the man had been asleep for a very long time and Anya told him about the outside world, about climate change and nuclear war and the man listened in horror.
“I can’t believe it,” he said. “The world I knew is gone.”
“But you are here,” Anya said. “How is that possible?”
The man said: “I was in cryo-sleep, and I was put in this capsule to survive the global catastrophe.”
“But why?” Anya asked. who did that?”
“I don’t know, but I’m glad they did, and I’m glad I’m here,” the man said.
Anya and the man talked for a long time. The man told her about his life before he fell into hibernation, and he told her about his family, his friends, and his work. Anya listened with admiration because she had never met anyone who had seen the world before it was destroyed.
As the sun set, Anya realized that she had to return to the village and promised the man that she would return to visit him the next day.
The next day, Anya returned to the forest and brought the man food and water as well as a book and a collection of stories from before the global catastrophe.
The man was very happy with the book and read it for hours, lost in the stories of a world that no longer exists.
Anya visited the man every day after that, and they talked and shared stories with each other. The man told her about his hopes and dreams for the future, and Anya told the man about her life in the village.
Over time, the man and Anya became close friends and were the only two people in the world who knew what the world was like before the global catastrophe and were the only two people who could truly understand each other.
One day, the man told Anya that he was dying. He had lived longer than he expected, and now his body was failing him.
Anya was very sad and did not want to lose her friend, but she knew that there was nothing she could do.
The man died peacefully in Anya’s arms and Anya mourned his death, but she also knew that he had finally found peace.
Anya continued to live in the village and never forgot the man, always remembering the stories he told her and knowing that the world he knew was gone, but she also knew that there was hope for the future.
