As I walked into the bright street lights from the darkness of my house, I noticed something was different than usual. I was getting much more wierd looks than usual, and some people even seemed scared of me, but even so, I continued my walk through town, keeping a mental note of my surroundings, as I normally have to when doing things like this. As I was walking, I saw a man running at me, knife in hand pointed at me, so, of course I ran, but, suddenly, his footsteps stopped. I looked behind me in fear, and saw another man, with a mask that covered his whole face, just staring at me, so I yelled

"What do you want from me?!"

The man looked at me dissapointedly and only gestured for me to follow him. He walked over to the man who was chasing me, him now on the ground, still and motionless, he pulled up his hood, and gestured to the top of his head. He had ears. Not normal human ears, he had cat-like ears on the top of his head. I asked the man

"Why does he have ears like that?"

Finally the man spoke

"He's just another one of the infected"

I asked

"Wait, what infected? What infection?"

The man looked at me, not saying a word, and gestured for me to follow him again. After a few minutes of walking, the man led me to a van, and gestured for me to get in. I was still a little confused, but he seemed trustworthy enough, because he had just saved my life, so, I got into the van. The man closed the door and got into the front seat, and started driving somewhere that didn't look familiar to the area. After another few minutes of silence, I finally spoke up.

"So, where are you taking me"

The man said

"We're going to the place that'll finally teach you the horrors this world has."
