My Fallout Story

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 2:21 pm

This is my post apocalyptic story. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter One: Pre-war life.

Every morning I wake up to the same, monotonous routine. I wait for my alarm to wake me up, I go outside and pray my parents are at work so I don't have to interact with them. I hope my sister won't be awake until I have had a coffee and am back in my room. Once I finish my coffee, I turn on my laptop and my playstation three. I love technology. I start playing my favourite RPG, Fallout, and watch Mad Max 2 on my laptop. I know, it's almost as if I WANT an apocalypse. Once it gets to around seven o clock, I start cleaning my room, clean up the kitchen, and get ready for school. If I have to listen to one more day of teachers being confusing idiots and bogans talking about "footy boiz", I am going to kill somebody. Probably Jordan Berry, or Tom McGregor, the two degenerate [censored]sticks I despise more than life itself. And that is saying a [censored]ton. Anyway, I pack my bag, and start my incredibly long, endurance testing trek across the road, over the oval, and to the area where my friends and I sit. Holy [censored], that's a labour. I plug in my headphones and play something either depressing or angering. Probably Hatebreed. Anyway, once I start crossing, I notice something. There are no cars on the Nicklin Way. The [censored]? This is the busiest road on the sunshine coast. I sit and wait. No cars for the better part of half an hour. Jesus Christ on a bicycle thinks I. The [censored] is going on here? I walk over to the police station, then hesistate. What am I going to say? Excuse me, have you seen any vehicles on the busiest road within a 20 kilometre radius? I'd sound like a [censored]wit. Anyway, I'm late for school.

I will post the second chapter if you guys want me to.

Oooohh boyyyy... you are doing the same exact thing that I came very close to doing when this forum was first made. I'm guessing you haven't played any of the Fallout games, seeing how there are so many things out of place here.

There are a lot of things to critic here, but for the time being I highly recommend you pick up one of the Fallout games, or watch a lets play of them. There are also various wikis to read up on information, such as http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki

I'll probably hit up the other bits later when I have the time, if someone else doesn't. I don't have time to go into detail right now, but don't let this dissuade you from writing! You just have a fair amount of things to learn.

Personally, I think it's very entertaining.

More please my good sir :clap:

Good idea. However there are a few things I like to point out:

I think there are too many [censored] words in such a short paragraph.
Plus, there's no real transition between the kid going to school and bam suddenly there are no cars?
I agree with Blackhand, this certainly isn't Fallout Fan Fic! :)

Thanks for the critics guys, I appreciate it. I probably should have mentioned a few things first:

1. This is more a story that adheres to my life, and how I would react to a post-apocalyptic situation.

2. I live across the road from my school. It looks sort of like this (heading east) School, oval, police station, main road, my house). That's why he saw the police station and no cars.

3. I didn't realize that the words were censored. Future chapters will take this into account.

4. Black hand 4, I have played the fallout games, but again, it wasn't specified very well, so good job for picking up on that anyway. If you guys have read the book by Amazing Atheist and the story he wrote in it, this is kind of like that.

Also I am just about to start writing just wanted to state another two things:

1. These are completely off the top of my head. Chapter one was written during a class when i was at school the other day. I am posting right now in Ancient history

2. I have decided that the bomb that killed most people will be a chemical specifically engineered to certain DNA strands or something, and therefore a small portion of people will remain. The building will just degrade over time etc.

Chapter two: Realisation

Anyway, I'm late for school. I head away from the police station, but on the way I see something shiny. Being the money hungry, value hunting human being that I am, I pick it up. It's a coin. Not a regular Australian 20 cent coin, but what appears to be a coin from England. A 50 Pence coin. It's about the size of a 20 cent coin in this country. Huh. Elliott must've dropped it. Ah well. I continue on my way.

After I cross the oval to my school, I realize something. Nobody is there. Not just nobody, but like no teachers either. The weirdest thing is the lack of sound. Our school is infested with crows. There isn't a sound.

In all seriousness, can you read? Like, at all? Because if you could you would have noticed my comment:

Seriously. Anyway, I will probably include factions such as the Enclave eventually, but it is set in AUSTRALIA. So factions will more likely include some kind of raiders or remainder of a football club or something. Just. Bear. With. ME. Christ....

As for the other comments, BloodyRage, thanks. Your Mum=MyBrother Thanks a lot man (Y)
