I wake up and my mom shakes me awake and tells me we only have 8 minutes to live before the sun explodes I look outside and see my neighbors trying to run away.

I ask my brother what were going to do and he says: were going to be gone in a few minutes anyway what’s the point?!

7 minutes left

I just start to write my will but then remembers everyone will be gone so I ball it up then throw it in the trash.I then search up what do you do when the sun explodes?

【回答】

我妈妈把我摇醒，告诉我，在太阳爆炸之前，我们只有8分钟的生命了。

我问我哥哥我们要做什么，他说：我们几分钟后就要死了，有什么意义呢！

还剩7分钟

我刚开始写我的遗嘱，然后想起每个人都会死去，所以我把它捏成球扔进垃圾桶，然后网上搜索太阳爆炸的时候你会怎么做？

6 minutes left

I figure out the internet will not help because I searched it up and it led to a bunch of articles on when the sun will explode and what will happen.(which is no help at all)

5 minutes left

I panic and search up what material is resistant to the sun? I just find out what helps with best PROTECTION from the sun.

Construction: Densely woven cloth, like denim, canvas, wool or synthetic fibers, are more protective than sheer, thin or loosely woven cloth. Check a fabric''''s sun safety by holding it up to the light. If you can see through, UV radiation can easily penetrate the fabric and reach your skin.

还剩6分钟

我发现网络也帮不上什么忙，因为我搜索了一下，结果找到了一大堆关于太阳何时爆炸以及将会发生什么事情的文章。(这些一点帮助都没有)

还剩5分钟

我惊慌失措地搜索什么材料能够抵挡阳光？我想找出最好的防晒措施。

结构：密织布，如牛仔布，帆布，羊毛或合成纤维，比透明，轻薄或松散编织布更具保护性。把布料拿到阳光下，检查一下它的防晒性。如果你可以看穿，说明紫外线辐射可以很容易地穿透布料并到达你的皮肤。

I see that it’s not going to help because there is no way a blanket would actually help with SUPERNOVA but who knows? So I crawl under my bed think that 2020 has gone far enough and start eating marshmallows.

3 minutes left

I say my goodbye’s and is silently mad at the field trip I visited at the planetarium because according to them this isn’t supposed to be happening yet.

2 minutes left

I realize time goes slower if I actually count the seconds so yeah…

还剩4分钟

我认为这不会有什么帮助，因为毯子不可能对超新星爆发有实际的帮助，但谁知道呢？所以我爬到床底下，想着2020年已经够可以了，然后开始吃棉花糖。

还剩3分钟

我说了声再见，然后默默地对我之前去天文馆参观的事情感到很生气，因为根据他们的说法，这情况本来不应该发生的。

还剩2分钟

我意识到如果我开始数秒的话，时间会变慢，所以...

1 minute left

I look outside and see there is a spaceship transporting everyone to space

10 seconds

I try to run and catch up wishing to my self that P.E at school has paid off.

5 seconds

I ate too many marshmallows I so I couldn''''t catch up.

1 second

Realizing that I never had to get all A’s in school after all and thinking that my hard work in school is never going to pay off.

0 seconds

THE END

还剩1分钟

我看向外面，看到一艘宇宙飞船正在把每个人送往太空。

10秒

我努力跑去追赶，我希望自己在学校的体育课能有所回报。

5秒

我吃了太多的棉花糖，所以我没能赶上。

1秒

我意识到我在学校里根本不必所有课程全得A，我认为我在学校里的努力永远不会有回报。

0秒

结束。

I lounge on my sofa and open the TV, at once I am met with an urgent news report: “BREAKING NEWS! 2 hours ago, the sun has been showing very strange patterns and scientists have reported that it has exploded just now. This gives us 8 minutes before we are dead. AHHH!!”

I fall off my sofa and curse my luck. I set an alarm for 8 minutes and then I rush out of the living room

我懒洋洋地躺在沙发上打开电视，立刻就看到一则紧急新闻“突发新闻！两小时前，太阳表现出非常奇怪的活动，科学家报告说，太阳刚刚爆炸了。我们还有8分钟就要死了。啊啊啊！！”

我从沙发上摔下来，咒骂着自己的霉运，我设定了8分钟的闹钟，然后冲出了客厅。

还剩7分钟

The world outside is mayhem; burning houses, gunshots and overall anarchy. I bolt my door and retreat to my room. Then, I gather all my necessities and proceed to the kitchen. From there, I stuff my entire cupboard into my bag. This time I don’t get any cookie crumbs on my bag. 5 minutes left

After my bags are packed to the brim, I run downstairs to my basement. Then I proceed to bolt the door with anything I can find: a bookshelf, a table, my bag.

Finally, I sit down on the ground and wait. And wait. And wait…1 minute left

I hear a loud “boom” and suddenly the air around me gets colder. I try to turn on the heater but there isn''''t any electricity. So I put on an extra layer of clothing. After a few hours, it gets unbearably cold and I’ve run out of clothes to wear. Sensing the inevitable, I leave my basement with a flashlight and try to find a heat source.

外面的世界一片混乱：燃烧的房子，枪声四起，整个社会陷入混乱。我锁上门，回到自己的房间。然后，我收拾好所有的必需品，走向厨房。在那里，我把整个橱柜的东西塞进我的包里。这次我的包里不会有饼干屑了。

还剩5分钟

我的行李打包好后，我跑到楼下的地下室。然后我继续用任何我能找到的东西栓上门：一个书架，一张桌子，我的包。

最后，我坐在地上等待。静静等待着... 

还剩1分钟

我听到一声巨响，周围的空气突然变冷了。我试着打开暖气，但是没有电。所以我多穿了一层衣服。几个小时后，温度变得冷得难以忍受，我已经没有衣服可穿了。意识到这是不可避免的情况，我带着手电筒离开了我的地下室，试图找到一个热源。

I turn on a flashlight and continue outside. The streets are coated in a layer of ice and snow and it is well below the freezing level.

After walking for a few minutes, my legs give way due to the cold and I lay on the ground, hoping that this was yet another dream…

Andrew

我打开手电筒，继续往外走。街道上覆盖着一层冰雪，远低于冰点。

走了几分钟后，我的双腿因为寒冷而瘫倒了，我躺在地上，希望这只是另外一个梦...

Rising Phoenix tried writing a short story

I hear a loud voice booming in my head saying ”YOU HAVE EIGHT MINUTES TO LIVE”

My eyes snap open to find a ceiling above me. I slowly breathe to calm myself down.

It was only a dream.

I slowly get up and look around as my eyes starting focusing. I am in my room and there’s nothing out of the ordinary.

As I turn my head to look out of the window, I notice the sun unusually bright today. Weird, looks like I managed to wake up before sunset.

As I am contemplating my messed up sleep schedule, The sun seems to be getting bigger by the second. I look carefully to be sure and yes, the sun is indeed getting bigger.

I don’t really have the energy to freak out or panic, So I grab my phone and set the timer for 7 minutes. I get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen.

【回答】努力写一篇短篇小说

我突然听到脑海里响起一个巨大的声音“你只有八分钟的生命了”

我睁开眼睛，发现头顶上是天花板。我慢慢地呼吸，让自己平静下来。

那只是一场梦。

当我的眼睛开始聚焦时，我慢慢地站起来环顾四周。我在我的房间里，没有什么不寻常的事情。

当我转过头看向窗外时，我注意到今天的阳光异常明亮。真奇怪，看起来我在日落前就醒了。

当我在思考我混乱的睡眠时间表时，太阳似乎一秒钟就变大了。我仔细观察确定了，是的，太阳确实在变大。

我没有精力去惊慌失措，所以我拿起我的手机，设置了7分钟的计时器。我下了床，走向厨房。

I see my parents on the way and say Good morning and give them both a hug. No point making them worry. As I make my way to the kitchen, I hope that it’s a painless death.

I make myself a Nutella sandwich, I mean who doesn’t want to die eating a Nutella sandwich and then make my way back to my room.

I sit down and look at the sun, which is already covering up more than 50% of the sky.

I already tell my parents I love them everyday, so no point doing it now. All my friends know how much they mean to me, no point calling them and wasting time.

As I eat my Nutella sandwich, I close my eyes and do a silent prayer to god, thanking him for my life, thanking him for my wonderful parents and lovely friends and for my healthy body and sharp mind.

我看到了我的父母，我说早上好，并给他们一个拥抱。没必要让他们担心。在我去厨房的路上，我希望这是一次无痛苦的死亡。

我给自己做了一个榛果可可酱三明治，我的意思是谁不想死前吃榛果可可酱三明治呢。然后回到我的房间。

我坐下来看着太阳，太阳已经覆盖了超过一半的天空。

我已经每天都告诉我的父母我爱他们，所以现在再这样做也没有意义。我所有的朋友都知道他们对我有多重要，没必要打电话给他们浪费时间了。

我吃着我的三明治，闭上了眼睛，默默地向上帝祈祷，感谢他给了我生命，感谢他给了我很棒的父母和可爱的朋友，感谢他给了我健康的身体和敏锐的思想。

After I am done thanking him, I think about the few regrets I have in life.The one time I didn’t confess to my crush. The times I didn’t study for my exams and for the times I spent gaming or wasting my time.

As I go through my memories, I relax and forgive myself for those mistakes, after all, no point beating myself up over them. Won’t it be better to make amends with myself.

I thought about the good times that I spent with my crush just having fun and the times I made some good friends over games. The times I failed cus of not studying and learnt that there’s more to life than just marks and exams.

The times I spent with friends just chatting and goofing around. The late nights we spent outside, only to return back home in the morning. The fun times with my family and the crazy things I did with my siblings.

在我感谢完上帝之后，我想到了我生命中为数不多的遗憾。有一次是我没有向我的暗恋对象告白。有几次我没有为了考试而学习，有些时候我花时间玩游戏或者浪费时间。

当我回顾自己的记忆时，我放松下来，原谅自己所犯的错误，毕竟，没有必要为此责备自己。向自己道歉不是更好吗。

我想起了我和我的恋人一起度过的美好时光，还有那些在游戏里交到一些好朋友的时光。因为不学习而失败的时候，我明白了生活不仅仅是分数和考试。

我和朋友们一起闲聊瞎逛的时光。我们在外面熬夜，第二天早上才回家。和家人在一起的快乐时光，和我的兄弟姐妹一起做的疯狂的事情。

My face breaks into a slow smile and my body starts relaxing. It feels much better to think about the good memories and fun times rather than the regrets. I smile and feel lighter knowing that I have made peace with my regrets and closing death.

As I am doing so, I suddenly open my eyes and reach out for my phone. No way I m dying without listening to some good music. Not having time to decide, I open youtube and click a playlist(it was my workout playlist), and sext a random song.

Imagine going to heaven with this playing as your background music. Or hell, would still be pretty cool.

我的脸慢慢的微笑，我的身体开始放松。想想美好的回忆和快乐的时光，比想想遗憾的事情要好得多。我微笑着，感觉更轻松了，因为我已经平静地面对了我的遗憾和死亡。

当我这样做的时候，我突然睁开眼睛，伸手去拿我的手机。不听点好听的音乐我是不能死的。没有时间做决定了，我打开了油管，点击一个播放列表(这是我的锻炼音乐列表) ，然后随机选择一首歌。

想象一下，用这首歌作为你的背景音乐然后去天堂。或者地狱，仍然会很酷的。
