The sound of people fighting from the television. A deep menacing voice yells out 'Finish Him' followed by gory screams and sounds. This dude is weak as fuck, the 12th time I then beat this dude this week. I think to myself. I get up and go to the bathroom. Gotta drain the dragon, heh.

The door downstairs open and close and I hear footsteps walking up the stairs. "Big bro that's you?" I ask from the bathroom.
"Yeah. Won't be here for long left the extra battery to the camera." Terry says. I walk out the bathroom and head to the kitchen and open the fridge. Some eggs, bread, peanut butter, lunchmeat, grape soda. Damn time to get groceries. I grab the bread and peanut butter. I turn and I see Terry walking in the kitchen with a bag of checkers. He is a bit shorter than me but is heavy sat. Grey hair is in his head. "Food for me?" I asked.

"Yeah figured you were hungry. So what are you doing today anyway?"

I grab the checkers bag taking the chicken sandwich out before answering. "Might go to my mom's house up west for a bit." I shrug my shoulders. "Not to sure yet." I open the sandwich wrap and take a bite out of the chicken sandwich. I put it down and grab a bottle of Jack Daniels off of the shelf.

"Really dude?" Terry asks.

"What? It's 10:39 p.m. somewhere."

"Well whatever. I'm about to head back out, so please, for the sake of all that is right, don't mess the apartment up."

"Cmon bro, I always keep the apartment in shape." I say while pouring my drink. Terry just stale faces me and I respond by lifting my glass towards him before taking a swig. He walks away and I hear footsteps walking down the stairs and the door open and close. I take another bite out of my sandwich and walk back to my room with sandwich and drink in hand.

I turn the game off and put on Netflix and watch a couple of episodes of Daredevil. In the middle of watching the second episode I hear a fearful scream from outside. I look out my window and see someone or something attacking a woman. Two people run out of their apartment and try to pull it off of the lady. It turns on them and attacks them.

Two officers pull around the corner and steps out of their vehicles and starts shooting at it. It goes down and stops moving. I close the blinds. What the fuck was that? I look at the time on my phone 12:12. Way to early for this shit. I dial my bro Lenny's number and all I hear outside are loud rumbles shaking the earth.
