Invasion

Part 1: Chapter 1.

I awoke on the cold, hard cemented streets. As I slowly got up, I looked at the dead world around me. Buildings everywhere where shattered, cars where left abandoned on the streets, there were dead human bodies everywhere. I looked down at myself and saw that I was covered in dirt, mud and blood. I stood standing and wondering to myself what happened? But I couldn't think of the answer. Come to think of it, I couldn't remember anything. The weather then started to change and get worse. The sky turned gloomy grey, the clouds started to poor rain so I decided to go look for shelter. I took a few weak steps and walked towards a hardware building called Home Depot that wasn't so damaged. When I got in the building, I laid down, shivering from the cold. I closed my eyes then slowly drifted myself to sleep.

I woke up to a sound of a thud, like something heavy fell. I jolted my body up and stood alert. There was then another noise of growling, I got up to see what it was. Could it be a dog? No... A wolf?....No. I couldn't really think of anything that it could be. I looked around inside the abandoned building. I peaked by a corner and saw something horrifying.

A huge hideous creature was feasting on a human body. I watched as the creature ripped the human's flesh violently with its sharp teeth and choked it down its throat. I knew I had to get out of the building so I carefully started to step away slowly. I wasn't looking where as was going as I suddenly crashed into a shelf full of wood boards that fell on the ground, making extreme loud thuds. Oh. Shit.

The creature suddenly jerked its head up quickly, it started running towards my direction. My heart started thumping so hard, I felt like it would pound out of my chest. I start to run for it, I saw the creature was not far behind me. The creature was giving out these horrid screeches as it was chasing me. I tripped and fell slamming onto the ground. The creature then got on top of me, giving one hell of a loud screech on my face. I started to shriek but then I saw a medal pipe not far from my reach. I grabbed the pipe then shoved it as hard as I could down the creature's throat. The creature flung it's self off me, as black liquid fell oozing from its mouth. I looked for something else it could harm it with. I found a hammer; I quickly grabbed it and started slamming the creatures head as hard as I could multiple times. The creature shrieked in pain as I kept denting its head with my hammer, making black liquid spatter all over me. Soon the creature fell to ground, with its life fading away. I noticed that I managed to crack its oddly shaped head open, causing a pool of that black liquid. I'm guessing the black liquid was the color of this kind of creature's blood.

I watched as the creature took its last squeals and breaths as it finally died. I let out a breath of relief. The place finally seemed more quite and safe although I wasn't so sure. I knew I was most likely filthier then god knows what so I looked for bathroom to clean myself up. I looked down at the hammer I had in my hand and decided to keep it as a weapon to protect myself (I know, not the best weapon but something is better than nothing).

Once I found the girls bathroom (although I honestly think it doesn't matter whether I went in the girls or the boys bathroom at a time like this in this world), I walked inside towards a bathroom sink. The bathrooms where in horrible condition, one stall was even collapsed over another stall, the bathroom mirror had a huge crack and the bathroom was covered in what I hoped was mud or moss. I turned the handle of the bathroom sink, making some water trickle from the spout. I first washed my hands then splashed some water on my arms to wash them too.

After I washed my hands and arms, I looked at myself threw the cracked bathroom mirror. I saw how dirty and messed up my short dark red hair was, my face was still covered in that creature's blood and I noticed I had a pretty big scrape on my right cheek. I wonder how I got that scrape on my cheek, maybe I got it sometimes during the invasion. Whatever I don't know, it doesn't matter anyway, and it's not like its permanent.... Maybe.

After I was done washing up in the bathroom I decided to head out of the building. I made my way out of the hardware shop and saw the creature's dead body as I passed by. Once I made it out, I looked around and saw the weather had again changed and got better. The sun was peaking out, the cold wind had turned to a nice soft breeze, the world around me was still lonely and abandoned but I didn't really mind, I always was a loner most of my life anyway. Wait, was i actually ever really a loner...?

Come to think of it, I can't remember anyone from my past.

Did I have friends? Did I have pets? Did I have someone who loved me? Did I have a family?
