There I stand, in the middle of a crumbling world. A city created with a thought and the snap of a finger begins to fade away. A few hundred feet away, the darkness. It floods the street and corrupts the buildings.
"We need to go!" Icarus yells in the background. His voice then fades away. I watch the streets as the darkness begins to corrupt the buildings. I am suddenly taken by the hand ad led away. However, I don't resist.
As we run, I look at the empty streets. Behind me, a path of darkness and destruction. Buildings begin to collapse, one by one. Each collapse brings on a shake to the ground. Within the next minute I am on the ground. It is on the ground when I suddenly am snapped back into reality.
With all of my energy, I stand up and begin to run, catching up to Icarus. Sweat begins to run down my face, my heart beats faster. Blood drips from my knees, hands and forehead. I am weakened, yet the adrenaline has kicked in and I am fine.
In the distance, I see explosions. A brief moment later, the darkness returns. It has surrounded us on all four sides. I look quickly in all directions, searching, hoping for a way out of this situation. Then, I see it.
A building. Broken, damaged, an OPENING. I Quickly make my way to the building. The darkness swings, trying to stop me. However, I dodge it and slide underneath it. I then run up and make it inside the building.
The inside of the building was severely damaged. Glass floods the floor. However, that is not important. I look for a back entrance. I take my time yet search quickly as any moment, the building could collapse. Finally, I see it down the hallway. I sprint my way to the exit. The darkness follows from behind me. My escape is quickly interrupted when the side of the building gets corrupted and falls to the ground.A few seconds later, the now collapsed chunk of wall ignites into flames. What now? I think to myself. Everything around me slows down. I focus only on the path ahead of me. There's only one way to make it to the exit, to jump across.
I breathe in and out and then run at full speed towards the ignited wall. When I make it a foot away from the flames, I thrust my upward and forwards. I feel the flames inches from my skin, as if the flames had avoided touching me. A few seconds later, I hit the ground.
When I land, I quickly run down the hallway. The exit is almost in my reach. A few seconds later, I make it. I push open the exit and run for as long as I can. I look behind me every now and then, but I focus on my goal.
Once It is safe, and I am out of town, I enter cover.
I've got to find out who's behind all this. Find out who controls the darkness. I say to myself.THE CONCLUSION : COMING SOON
