Okay, it's the middle of the night, and you're about to fall into bed after alot of work/gaming/art-ing/music-ing/jerking, and about two minutes into your rest, a loud knock is heard on your door, you rush downstairs (Or to the front door) and look through the peephole. There, are standing two very stern looking soldiers, behind them, you see a convoy of trucks with civilians starting to board onto.
"You and your immediate family have been chosen by the government to live in a high security survival facility, the reason is that unidentified creatures have crawled up on the shores(or borders) of the country and are taking down entire cities, and that you've shown either excellent leadership or academic skills and have been selected as such, you may choose one family within the region to be picked up as well, assuming they haven't been chosen."
Says the first soldier. And quickly followed by the second soldier,
"You have half an hour to pack, you may only bring one backpack, or two smaller bags, please hurry. Those unchosen are being moved to refugee camps."
You stand there, confused, but feeling uneasy, you quickly contact your chosen person to let them know, then run to wake up the rest of your family and have the two soldiers explain the situation, after you've done that you run up to your room and glance at the clock. 23 minutes left. What do you pack?
Okay, probably not the best backstory but nyeh. I'd quickly run upstairs and start loading my backpack with; a small waterproof torch, an umbrella, I'd pick a shirt, a pair of pants and my jacket from my wardrobe, my family annals and other records, my art diaries, I'd cram all my stationary and my two USBs into my pencilcase and then pull together my assortment of tailoring gear and archery maintenance kit into one. I'd then run downstairs, grab some socks and undies for good measure, and then slip on my sneakers.
As for the person I choose, probably my girlfriend.
PS. Sorry if this is substandard, my first thread here, and I haven't been on a forum for a while due to various unpleasent circumstances.
EDIT: Oh right, and wallet, phone+charger and camera+charger 8D
