Chapter 1: First day of the end

Third person POV:

Today is a perfect sunny day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing another fine peaceful day free from trouble. It just ashamed that days like this don't last long and it's also ashamed that it will be the last one.

Father's POV:

Today felt strange for me but I put the feeling aside since I didn't want to spoil the sunny day for my family. Just me, my wife, my daughter and my older brother are at the park for a nice peaceful walk the idea was my daughter's since she wanted to go to see the beauty of the park, she knows the world we live in is cruel but she somehow always finds a way to look on the bright side of things just seeing her bright smile makes everyone have a smile on their faces. After a few moments of walking my little girl spotted an ice cream cart nearby, she turns to look up at her mother asking politely. "Can we get some ice cream?"

My wife thought for a moment before saying. "Of course, dear."

"Yeah!" she exclaims in happiness sprinting towards the ice cream cart.

"Are you two coming?" My wife asked me and my brother.

"You go ahead, I need a word with Charlie." I replied, she nodded her head in understanding before walking towards the cart. Once I knew she was out of earshot I turn to face my brother.

"What's up?" he asked confused.

"Do you think today feels I don't know, off, too you?" I asked thinking if I should of kept quiet about this.

"Now that you mention it, today does feel strange almost like – "

"Something bad is about to happened?" I finished his sentence.

"Yeah, but I don't see anything that could go wro – "Charlie didn't get to finish his sentence when we heard some screams, we both turn to the direction of the source to see that it was my wife and my daughter that are making the noise, me and Charlie dashed toward them to see what's wrong, we could also see some people are dashing towards them. When me and Charlie got there, we saw an elderly man on the ground not moving I turn to face my wife who is holding our daughter trying to calm her down by patting her back.

"Sarah, what happened?" I asked her worry shown on my face.

"We were just getting some ice cream when suddenly – I don't know he had some kind of heart attack or something? But whatever it was it scared us." She answered seeing the fear in her hazel eyes. The group of people who came dashing here were crowding over the man, one of the strangers were calling for an ambulance while another one is crouched next to the elder trying to find a pulse or a heartbeat. After a few moments the man crouching finally spoke. "Nothing. He's gone." After the man confirmed that the elder is dead some people closed their eyes and bowed their heads others turned away a hand over their mouth and some just stand there staring at the corpse with sad eyes, everyone went silence nothing could be heard but the wind and the singing of birds, it was like that for a few second when we all heard groans, we all looked towards the elder seeing if it was a miracle. But the moment he opens his eyes he lunged at the man crouching next to him biting his neck. The man screamed in pain blood pouring out fast it was like he was eating him alive the group of people screamed in fear by the action, two males from the group went to stop the elderly by grabbing his arms and pinning him to the ground while a woman went to check on man who was attack. She crouched next to him and was about to speak when suddenly he lungs at her, she shrieks while he is biting her neck ripping her flesh off and eating it, blood pouring out, her body becomes still the man was now eating a dead corpse.

Some people of the group were now screaming and running away in fear from the scene while others stand in their spot pearlized by shock. "We need to get out of here. NOW!" My thoughts told me. I Look to my brother seeing that he was thinking the same thing, we both nodded before I grabbed hold of Sarah's hand and we sprinted off to the direction of the car park. I had to let go of Sarah's hand so she could hold our daughter properly, I didn't like the idea but I had too, while running I could see lots of people were running and some were attacked by others, the ones that were attacking now that I had a good look at them while running pass them, their skin were dull and greyish, their eyes had no pupil in them it was just blank white with a bit of red eyes, they are covered in blood and some of them had her guts hanging out of their body, they were slow so we could easily run pass them but there were a lot of them. From behind me I heard something hit the ground I turn around to see what it was, I stopped realizing what it was, what I saw was like a nightmare, there on the ground shrieking her lungs out from the pain is Sarah being eaten by one of them ahead of them is my daughter not too far from them sat there horrified by what she is watching. I ran back to pick her up saving my daughter but I was too late to save Sarah, I ran back following Charlie.

"MOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!" My daughter screams back to her mother.

"DAD WE HAVE TOO GO BACK AND HELP HER!!!!!" My daughter exclaims to me, but I didn't turn back I kept going ignoring her request. We managed to get to car park without being attacked by more of them, we found our car near the entrance I gave Charlie the keys to drive so I can hold my girl, he unlocks the doors, he got into the driver's seat as I got in the front passenger seat with my daughter sitting on my laps. Charlie starts the engine and we drive off away from the park heading back to our house hopefully being safe there.

"What the fuck were those things?!" Charlie shouted clearly afraid by what just happened.

"I don't know!" I shouted also afraid.

"This can be happening!"

"Charlie!" I shouted starting to get annoyed.

"It's NOT real! It's NOT NARMOL!"

"CHARLIE!!"

"WHAT!!" We were both silence by the sound of sobbing.

"Why didn't we go back? *hic* Why didn't we go back and *hic* save her?" My daughter asked me through her sobbing hiccups. Seeing her like this, seeing her horrified and her eyes filled with sadness by what she witnessed today makes me feel like I failed as a father.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, I was too late I couldn't save her..." My throat tightens, tears building up in my eyes I turn to face Charlie seeing he is too also had tear building up he didn't at me he just kept his eyes on the road. I turn back and looked down at my daughter she looked up at me tears still falling down her face.

"I love you dad." She said as she rested her head on my chest, I hugged her as a tear escaping my eye now falling down my cheek.

"I love you too, Y/n."
