It was Earth Day, April 22nd, 2012, the supposedly 'Doomsday Year', when the world was supposed to end. THIS is when it started...

"ALEX!" My older sister screamed, "GET DOWN HERE!" she roared.
My name is Alex Nelson, 15 years old, 6 foot 4 inches tall. My older sister, Jessica, is 23 years old, 5 foot 8 inches, unusually tall for her age and gender. She was my legal guardian until I turned 18, because both of our parents were dead from some 'unknown disease' that killed them, we also have no living relatives, except for our grand parents, who were both considered legally mental, meaning they were both considered crazy. I was only 12 when that happened, and I WAS going to go to Foster Care, but my older sister became my legal guardian , because she didn't want that to happen to me, and I was VERY VERY VERY grateful for that. Anyways, back to the story.
"I'm coming!!" I yelled, slipping in my favorite pair of pants. shirt, and sweater. I ran down the stairs, jumping from 30 stairs up, and landing gracefully on my feet, there was an advantage. I was basically a ninja, I was a 4th degree blackbelt in Kung Fu, Karate, Tai-Quan-Doe, and Jujitsu. Basically making me a legit ninja warrior. I walked into the kitchen, looking at my sister.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Not so much as 'whats up' as 'What's down to Earth." she replied, pointing at the T.V., which was on channel 45, the News Channel. I walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch.
"We bring you this special report from Dunelake Middle School, Urbaniacs, Universe, where it's been reported that thousands of birds simply, dropped out of the sky!" The reporter said stupidly. It flashed over to some kid talking about the disaster.
"I was out in the soccer field when birds simply started to drop out of the sky." they explained. The little kid went on, "Pretty soon, thousands of them were following the first ones. I picked one up to feel for a heartbeat, there simply wasn't a heartbeat..." he said, on the verge of crying. Now it flashed to some other kid talking about how scared and horrified they were.
"I was terrified out of my right mind. Its like this... I'm simply sitting, talking with some friends, something hits me in the back of my head, HARD. I look behind me and see a small hummingbird, then the noon mom's start blowing their whistles, then thousands of them start dropping out of the sky like rocks, everyone was getting pelted with them. It was terrifying." they said, also on the verge of tears.
"See, isn't that terrible?" my sister asked.
"WELL OF COURSE!" I replied, now bummed out by the report.
"I've got to get going to the movie." I said. I grabbed my stuff that I needed for the movie, which consisted of 30 dollars, my jacket, and my shoes. I grabbed my stuff and began to run for the door.
"Be careful!!" my sister yelled after me.
"Don't worry!" I yelled back.
