Chapter 2 - What Are 'THEY' ?

An emergency broadcast signal started seconds later, and I just sat there on the couch in silence.

I didn't know if I should call everyone I knew, or wait and see if this epidemic would even affect my area.

I felt the sudden need to look outside,

and just as I did so I saw, of all people, my old gym teacher Mr. Moors, who had mentored me and helped me become the athlete that I am today.

He called to me, reminding me how long it had been since we last spoke.

Of course, I knew it wasn't really him,

and had I not watched the news report when I did, I would've gone out to talk to him, only to meet an agonizing death.

Behind him, approaching from a distance, was a mob of these invaders that were marching through my neighborhood.

That's the last time I glanced outside.

Now I sit locked in a dark basement with only the glow of this computer screen.

All the doors to my house are locked, and all lights that would attract attention are out.

I think the mob has bypassed my house, as I can't hear anyone else calling my name.

I've just heard screams of terror from my other neighbors, and I think they're dead.

It's very quiet now, I've already warned everyone I can think of to stay indoors.

I'm sure I'll think of more people as the night goes on, but for now I'm just going to focus on getting this story out.

I know the military will act, I'm sure they'll be here any minute to get whatever this is under control, but if not,

I have enough supplies to hopefully last a month or two at the most.

After doing constant research online, I'm certain that this is now a global phenomenon.

Videos are starting to appear on Youtube shot by people who have barricaded themselves in either their homes or public places,

and these videos feature footage of mobs like the one I just saw not long ago.

One particular video comes from as far away as Tokyo, Japan.

The video already has over a million views, and in the comments section,

several people have claimed to have seen their own relatives in the mob that was filmed by a man from the fourth floor of his apartment building.

I checked it out for myself, and sure enough, all the way from Japan,

I saw my grandfather,

my uncle,

and my stepmom marching through the streets,

and they seemed to be staring right at me through the computer screen.

Videos like this are proof that we are now dealing with a force far beyond our understanding.

What exactly are they? How did they get here? Hopefully we can survive long enough to find out these answers.

If I make it through the night, I promise to constantly update my tale of these catastrophic events.

My name is Reagan Myers of Los Angeles, California, and I am a witness to the beginning of a new era.
