Where am I? Why am I here? More importantly, who am I? I've wandered this camp for a few hours now with no answers to my questions. All I've learned is it's been five days ever since this form of apocalypse stared. Five days? And it's this bad? There's only a handful of people here in this secluded camp including me yet there seems to be no one else left. Anywhere I can see the putside world it's all bleak and evil. Darkness covering everything, dark tendrils wrapped around buildings, crushing them. The void tentacles spewing out of the ground destroying once a beautiful landscape. But how could I know that? I can't remember anything. Strangly I feel like I've lived a life before all of this, knowing who I am but it all feels like a... dream? Was it real? Or as my life always been this and people can't tell between night and day anymore? I don't blame them, it seems no matter how long you look up into the sky it's always that midnight darkness. Where's the sun? There was once a sun right? I wish I could remember but there's nothing in my head. Though I couldn't know for sure something feels... different about myself. Perhaps I feel different from that dream version but this feeling. No this is different, it feels like there is something inside of me that shouldn't be there. Am I sick? Maybe I should go check a mirror. Luckily a bathroom is nearby, and seems like no one else is in it. Now's my chance. Now I stand, staring at myself. Everything seems fine. My caramel colored hair matches, my chocolate skin. If I look okay then what is wrong with me? Cough What is that in my throat?! Coughs It feels like phlem but it feels like there's a lot! This sensation feels close to drowning, am I going to die? I can't scream for help, it's stopping me! Coughs voraciously It's almost out but it feels worse. Coughs out a black ooze and then gasps for air What the hell is that? Wiping the spit from my mouth it looks like that's it of that stuff. Wait. I... remember something... 24? Is that my age? It must be... my... name? Of course, my name is Luna.
