Oasis at the end of the world. CHPT 1 The end came. I guess some people were surprised but really most of them just deluded themselves in believing that all the signs were not real. I wasn't surprised. I worked in the industry, designing advanced weaponry for the U.S military. I had seen the reports and had the money, knowledge and technology to prepare. I worked on my plan for decades as did others in the know. I picked an area in the mountains, a wide swaft of land I chose because it would have no natural resources that the remnants of the military would want and so remote that no humans bothered to try and access it. I gated it with electrical fencing, knowing that after the collapse desperate people would try and breach it. Then with an army of bots to repair it as well as a army of bots and drones to defend it. I then surrounded the perimeter with technology designed to kill anyone who got through any of those. I was always an introvert, feeling uncomfortable around others and so the isolation didn't bother me except that I was also a closeted boy lover. I had traveled abroad and had sex with boys but never had a real boy to love full time and that is where my final plan would come in to play. I had to wait and it hurt my heart to see so many die in the fly overs I did with my high altitude drones. I could do nothing for them. Entire families I witnessed being slaughtered by gangs of armed militia for any meager provisions they possessed. Then the rapes. Then the cannibalism. It was a horror, something out of a nightmare. I waited. That's when I saw him. Scurrying around empty homes in the valley below my mountain. He was very dirty his clothing in tatters and his body thin. So thin. But as I zoomed in I could tell that he was cute beneath all that dirt. He was small perhaps 6 or 7 years old and a survivor. I immediately set my plan into action. I dropped a low flying drone from the larger high flying one and followed him as he scurried into a little hole behind a dumpster. "I know you are afraid but I do not intend to harm you. I have a place. A safe place where there are no other people. If you can trust me my drones will guide you and protect you from the others." I hovered the drone for a long time outside of his hiding place, careful to keep it low enough not to draw attention. "Who are you?" the small voice asked from inside the hole.. "My name is Brayden. I was a engineer, I created a safe place when I knew what was happening to the world. I have been looking for someone like you that I can help for a long time." "How do I know I can trust you?" "I do not know accept that you haven't seen technology like this for a long time so you know I am not like the others. If I was I would have already hurt you once I found where you are. You can trust me or tell me to go away and I will fly the drone away from you and bother you no more." For several long moments I waited until finally he came out. He was even cuter close up and beneath the dirt his bright blue eyes glowed in the sunlight. "Okay" he said. "Thankfully he is a smart one." I thought. My drones guided him through the streets forming a perimeter around him. He stopped when I told him to stop, ran when I told him to run. Several times there were those who I could not navigate him around and those my drones dispatched quickly and quietly. The Forrest would be more difficult because they provided more cover from my high flying drones so I switched them all to infrared. I had the boy wait in cover for nearly an hour as a group of 5 men and women were hunting. They were cannibals, I had seen them kill and eat people before. I thought of killing them for their crimes and would if they found the boy but he was as quiet as a mouse and soon they had moved on. I guided him further but had him stop well before the hidden entrance to my property. My drone delivered a small black fabric sack and I instructed him to put it on. I could see the concern and fear on his face. "I'm sorry but the entrance to my compound is hidden and if you choose not to stay with me I have every intention to let you leave but I cannot let you leave knowing where the entrance is. My drone will drop a rope for you to hold and will guide you the rest of the way." He thought about it only for a moment then nodding put it on. My drone dropped him a rope with a handle like a ski rope for him to hold and began leading him. The boys feet were unsteady in his blindness and a couple times I worried he would trip over his own small shuffling feet. "Do not worry the path is relatively smooth and my drone will guide you around any roots or stumps." After that he began to walk more smoothly and in short time made it to the hidden tunnel. I scouted with my drones to make sure no one was around and disarming the lasers that protected the tunnel pushed the button that would raise the rock covered entrance and the steel door behind it. I was there to meet him. The door closed behind him and the boy stiffened. "Not much further. You were smart enough to trust me so far. Trust me just a little further." He nodded his head beneath the sack. He tensed for a moment as I touched his boney shoulder. "will you take my hand so I can guide you the rest of the way?" He nodded and slowly raised his small dirty hand. My large hand dwarfed it as I guided him through the tunnel. Once we exited I re engaged the protections and pushed the button that would conceal both entrances. I had hit the button on my smart phone instructing the drones to hide any tracts his small body may have left. I slowly pulled the sack from his eyes. He blinked against the brightness of the sun before looking up at my face. I was about 6 foot tall, clean and shaved for his arrival and with what I hope was a kind calming face. "come let me show you your new home if you wish it." I said "Your not going to hurt me?" "No I do not hurt children." "Your not going to eat me?" "No I have plenty of food and I do not eat people." "Are you going to rape me?" I paused only for a second but nodded my head and said "No I do not rape boys." He nodded and stood there looking at me and then the rest of the Forrest and grass that my drones kept clean and clear. "You may ask me any questions you want and I will answer them honestly. But perhaps you would like to eat some food first?" His eyes got wide at that statement and I saw the faint glimmer of a smile as he nodded. I led him along the long winding trail. They couldn't be seen but I knew my bots and weapons were tracking our every move. Slowly we came to my home a large 2 story cabin. The yard was immaculate and on both sides were large gardens that my drones and robots moved about maintaining. The boys mouth was open and his eyes were wide. "Wow" he whispered. "I hoped you would like it. The food is inside." He waited on the path as I made it up to the porch. I entered and left the door open for him.
