Oliwia. 

It started just like any other day would, I woke up, ate breakfast, went to school, had all of the same classes I'd have on a Monday and went home, nothing interesting, right? Yeah I thought so to, until I bumped in to some crazy man, he was sweaty and smelled pretty bad, he was going on how people were going crazy, I was tempted to ask sarcastically if he was one of those so called "crazy people" he was talking about as he himself wasn't acting any more normal, but that man, the expression on his face made what he said even more believable but what I saw next sold it all to me, it was people, screaming and shouting for help, falling on the ground, pure panic and chaos, people falling over one another, blood everywhere...everywhere... There was no way I would go ahead and try to help those people, I had to go, but where? I wasn't anywhere close to my house, my stupid self-decided to go on a walk like I usually would after school, just my luck that I wondered off a bit too far for my liking.

Next thing I knew I was hiding behind a tree, I mean... Where else would you hide in a park, whatever it was that was happening to those people it was spreading, more and more people were running around aimlessly.

"I have to get home"

was all I know I needed to do as quickly as I could, I needed to be somewhere safe, somewhere where I can finally process whatever is happening right now. Once it got quiet, I grabbed my bag and decided to make a run for it, I never ran so fast, not even that one time I saw the new limited edition anime figure that came out that one time... pretty funny when I think about it now but... That wasn't the right time for humor, it was pure chaos, did I already mention that? I forgot, so many thought have been going through my head at the time. 

I soon get home, breathing heavily as I make sure to lock my front and back door, just what was happening, miraculously I managed to get home without being attacked, by those..." things" ... I look over at the time, exactly 5pm, I sat down on my desk, first thing I did was text my friends.

 OLIWIA: NEON

NEON: what is it???

OLIWIA: you won't believe what happened to me outside right now

NEON: ?????

OLIWIA:  people are going CRAZY, there was this one guy who came up to me warning me about some crazy people and after that everyone started eating each other!

NEON: look Oliwia, I'm busy right now, don't start messing with me right now, you know I'm getting ready for the upcoming tests...

"Well, this didn't go well" I said to myself before getting up from my seat, I can't just leave this and pretend like I didn't just witness people eating one another, I grabbed my phone and decided to call my parents that weren't home at the time...No answer...

"oh god, what if something happened to them"

I could only sit and wonder... I knew something is up, I mean duh, after what I witnessed, no wonder others don't want to believe me, not even one of my best of friends, instead they think I'm joking around. I found myself walking back and forth for the past hour before I hears screams outside my house, oh no, it got here already!? Whatever it is its spreading fast, I need to convince everyone to stay home, so I've spent the next hour calling all my friends, they all answered, I could hear doubt in their voices, whatever, they don't have to believe me, as long as they stay home and don't leave, I don't care what they think, they will find out soon.  

It wasn't long before I got a massive load of texts from my friends, saying that what they see outside this moment almost makes them feel bad for not believing me, I told them to stay put, we will find a way to get together, just how long will that take? Only god knows... It's been another 5 hours ever since this whole mess started, perhaps it started before I witnessed everything at the park, who knows, the more important thing was to get all of us together, I guessed that it wouldn't take long for electricity to die out , after all everyone is going crazy, it won't be long till the majority will turn out like that. A thought won't leave my head ever since this begun, is everyone turning in to zombies? But it can't be, zombies don't exist... do they?    

It was currently 11pm, a new day was going to start soon, I can't sleep with all those thoughts in my head, if my mom and sister are okay? They haven't returned yet, nor returned the endless calls and texts, the thought of them turning in to something like that almost made me cry, I was too scared to fall asleep, instead I kept on walking around my house, making sure that all my windows and doors are closed, it seems that as long as they don't see or hear me, I'm okay to stay in my house, so I've spent all night making sure every window is covered up, no one can see that I'm here, no one.
