The one no one listened to

Prologue-Survival is Key

A jolt shocked me out of my sleep, sending my brain into auto-drive in a minute. This is exactly what I said would happen, but no one believed me. The fear of god that they pumped into us, made everyone lose touch of reality, it made them forgo reason and logic. What we will left with after all of that was some kind of blind faith, or perhaps hope, that it would end all of this.That we could go back to normal, back to the way things were, but that isn't possible, is it?

I could hear footsteps and screams coming from outside as I flung myself off the bed. I quickly hurried to the window to bolt the door and close the curtains as to get rid of any signs of life. Suddenly I hear footsteps heading in the direction of my apartment, one step, two steps, three steps, four. The door begins to violently shake, and the handle moves up and down.

"They know I'm in hear" I think to myself

"They won't go away that easily, they are restless fiends who won't stop until they get what they want"

You are probably wondering how we got here. I'm also wondering the same thing. But, like they say life is unpredictable and things can change in an instant and it was just that.

There was one day one slip up that changed the face of the whole world, and just like that we could never know back. Not without consequences at least.

Just like that the door flung open, letting my deepest fear pour in.
I couldn't hold it back, I couldn't fight it off. Just like that I succumbed to it, just like all the rest. Just like I swear I wouldn't.
