Psychosis

Pilot

Location: UNKNOWN

In the center of a room there is a interrogation taking place. The only source of light is the ceiling above the table, and across the table there is a gloomy young man who seems dazed. Eventually, a eerie digital voice speaks through the intercom and speaks directly to the man.

    "State your name and current date."

The interrogated man replies back to the Voice with a dark moaning tone.

    My name is Adrian Josiah Alvarez, and the date is... today's date is...

Adrian begins to quiver.

    Oh my god— I don't actually know what today is.

    "I see... let's continue on anyway."

Silent yet disturbed, Adrian Alvarez analyzes across the entire room looking for any means of escape.

    "Listen Mr. Alvarez, I know you are scared and are unsure of your current situation but with all time stacked against us. We couldn't risk being patient. You just tell us what we need and we will release you."

I can still remember everything that had happened...

    The chaos...

    The horror...

    What made it even more terrifying wasn't the monsters themselves. It was the lengths people were willing to go to just in order to survive. The insanity of the people alone...

    It still haunts me to this very moment.

"Can you describe them to me? The nightmares you have seen?"

    I don't even want to start that man, it was unbelievable and to be honest. I have since seen a lot of unbelievable sinful things that has happened back on the island but I still have yet to understand what they were. I couldn't even explain them to you even if I wanted to, but I will say is that they all took different shapes and forms. Overall you can easily describe them as if they were...

    Decaying...

"In you're distress call you stated that they were monster beyond any reasoning or understanding and you further clarify that they were not the only threats that you had to be cautious of. What were you referring to? Do you mean other survivors back on the island? "

Josiah enrages himself and he looks down at his dark calloused hands.

    Those bastards...

    They are the cause all of this destruction that had happened. For all I care they can just die a miserable painful death alone. They shouldn't have ever survived the outbreak THOSE COWARDS!

Josiah slams his fist to the metallic table multiple times. He eventually regains focus.

"Who is it that who talking about? Is it some bandit gang that harassed you? Maybe a crime organization."

    They call themselves The Redeemers. I do not know how they are but they are sadistic fanatics who believe they can become Gods with the use of these... abominations.

"I see. We understand that this was a traumatic moment for you and you don't have any reason to trust us, but in order to help you. You need to help us first on how this happened in the first place... and unfortunately you maybe the key to solving it."

    HA! I just a survived a miserable fucking apocalypse! I doubt that I am the key to fucking anything!

"On the contrary Mr. Alvarez, you are the key. Rather you like it or not you have the answers and we must find it before this can ever happen again. So please, start from the beginning and tell me what you know."

Hmph... fine I'll bite for now... but only because cause you asked nicely.

"Good, now start with yourself in detail and we'll go on from there. Name, today's date, your date-of-birth, etc, etc, etc."

How exactly? Who the fuck are you guys anyway? Oh you must got me ALL-THE-WAY fucked up if you think I'm just gonna start—

Out of nowhere, Adrain is electrocuted through his chair and he screams in agony. They eventually stop the electrocution stop but steam and smoke elevates away off from his skin. Weak and severely cooked, he regain his strength and fixes his posture.

I have done nothing wrong, and I doubt that this is even legal!

Adrian gets electrocuted again but this time with a shorter duration.

"You're right it isn't but you listen here you smart-ass, do not waste me time ere! I will not risk the safety of my people so tell me who the fuck are you and what fuck happened! Do you understand me?!"

    Adrian controls his breathing. He regains focuses and begins describing the events.

    Before the Outbreak, I was a electrician back at Los Angeles, California. I worked on traffic lights, building electrical maintenance, airports, you name it. I loved my parents dearly and I was really close with my friends. Back then things weren't so bad at the time but I had been building up a lot of stress so I've decided to go on vacation. As you may know, this is where the bad shit comes into play...
