March 5, 2014 11:30 AM: The day the world ended...
The day the world's sanity was lost was the day that our entire world as we knew it, came to an end. Gone. Gone in a split second. I guess we just didn't notice it too much back then, but looking back on it now I realize that it all happened so fast. I'm surprised we even got out of the school with our sanity, let alone our lives intact. One moment everything was peaceful and the next we're beating down hordes of 'them.' The calm before the storm, I guess.
My name is Tony Delorean, I was supposed to be in my tenth grade geometry class when it all started. I had a girlfriend who later decided to dump me for some 'cool guy' named Cherrish McCauley. Her name was Rose Summers. She was beautiful; everything a hormonal, teenage boy would want in a girl. Rose had beautiful auburn hair that went down to her waist along with her equally gorgeous auburn eyes and blinding white smile; she was perfect.
Rose was pretty much the only good thing that had happened to me in my short fifteen years of living. We would hang out, hold hands,go on dates, and have tons of fun, at least that's what she wanted me to believe, anyway. Seeing her smiling, happy face was all that mattered to me back then; it brought...life back to my cold, lifeless eyes. At first, when we started going out, she always seemed so carefree and cheerful, however, about four months into the relationship I started to notice a subtle and steady decline in her ever cheerful persona.
She seemed duller, she seemed to be losing the traits that I had come to adore. Being the caring, responsible boyfriend I was, I confronted her about her recent emotional decline. It was then that I learned that her happy-go-lucky attitude was all a façade, a hoax, a sham. I didn't know whether to be upset with myself for not noticing sooner or to be upset at Rose for leading me along like she had. I mean, how would you feel if you were the last to know that your girlfriend had been cheating on you for most, if not all, of your relationship? I'm such a dumbass for not noticing the accidental cracks in her façade, the obvious signs of of deception and not acing on them sooner.
The day she dumped I asked her "Why?" I just had to know why. 'Why would she do this to me? Didn't she love me? What caused all of this?' Her answer; which was used as something more akin to an excuse really, "I felt that way, I really did, but you never seemed to notice or return my feelings." After hearing this, I just chuckled lightly and walked away; leaving her to eventually regret what she had done. 'Ha ha, that's bullshit and she knows it all too well.' I could see as plain as day, how she really felt. I could tell she was lying through her teeth. All she truly wanted was to be Cherrish's forever. Well, he could keep her.
I guess that's why I was out there; on the roof...to end it, the grief, the anguish. Yes, I wasn't out there because of the break up, but because of my miserable excuse of a life and because of what had happened, what felt like decades before. I guess all of it compiled over the years and finally started to get to me because of the emotionally stressful situation that I had been through only a week earlier. Yes, I was out there...to end it.
But before I could jump, everything in my vision changed, and I noticed something...the city was on fire! In the parking lot, just outside the main entrance, I saw one of 'them.' It was biting one of the school administrators that had come to see what all of the commotion was about; somehow missing the fire and smoke coming from the city. After the administrator was released, I saw the screaming, bloody man fall to the ground lifeless, before getting back up moments later to join the vile creature on it's agonizingly slow trek to the entrance as the the vision started to fade and I came back to reality.
I knew exactly what this vision meant. It meant that my time in this world wasn't coming to an end any time soon. I had to warn them...I had to warn Rose, even if I held immense amounts of hatred for her, I also held immense amounts of love for her as well. I had to warn her, I had to warn everyone; anyone that would listen. Yes, I had to warn them, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell them what had happened all those years ago.
Little did I know, It was inevitable. They would all find out, and they would all come to regret it...
