Death Plague

Geoff Fletcher lay in his bed after returning from filming today's let's play. He hated having to fake his usual overexcitement, it felt like lying, but he didn't want his viewers worrying about him. He got back out of bed with a sigh, there was no point in moping about through another day.

As he entered his living room his first instinct was to go for his Xbox but decided against it. He flopped onto his couch sighing again. The silence was eating away at his sanity so he turned on the T.V. for background noise and the news came on. A frazzled looking reporter stood inside the mall as chaos exploded in the parking lot behind her.

"We're here inside the Lima mall and there is absolute pandemonium behind me, I have no idea what's wrong with these people but they appear to be suddenly be turning to monsters and eating people! I'm not an expert but if you live anywhere near the Lima mall I would recommend locking up tight and not leaving your home," She said quickly. Geoff's heart pounded as it dawned on him exactly how close Mihael's apartment was to the mall. The reporter whirled around at the noise of one of those monsters pounding against the glass trying to get to her. When she looked back to the camera there was pure fear in her eyes.

"Umm, i-if you see one of these, uh, th-things please notify the authorities immediate-" The reporter was cut off by the smashing of glass. As her eyes filled with horror and realization, someone who could only be the cameraman yelled loudly and the camera toppled over so all Geoff could see where her feet stumbling backwards until she too was tackled to the ground by one of the creatures. As deep crimson poured from the poor woman Geoff couldn't take it anymore and ran to the toilet to throw up. When he returned to the room the report had turned to static and he shut the T.V. off.

He heaved a heavy sigh and sat down on the couch until he remembered, Mihael! What if he's in trouble? Geoff snached his phone from the coffee table and texted Mihael quickly "are you okay?" It read. He set his phone back down to wait for a reply, silently begging him to be alright.
