All it took was 30 minutes, 30 fucking minutes. And the whole world had gone to shit. Radio towers shut off and electronics stopped working. Same goes for any mode of transport. I only started seeing the monsters when I was in a cab, going home from work.

  I was trying to call my brother Connor, who was living with me at the time. But no response, the taxi driver was screaming over the radio not working. The driver decided to park on the side of the road, he seemed upset over something, as if there was something blocking us from moving. He saw something that left him in shock. "Whats the hold up?" I ask him, "Look!" he replys as I take a look into the front window of the cab, all I could see was smoke but I could later see elavated train tracks. The smoke came from a derailed train coming from the tracks.

  I got goosebumps all over my body when I saw people falling out of the cart, they were screaming, had twitchy movements and their skin was almost cherry red. People ran over to help the screaming survivors. And as they got close to the screaming people, they started getting attacked by them, getting ripped apart. As I was about to unbuckle my seatbelt. The monster like human being jumped through the front window. Killing the driver in the process

I managed to unbuckle the seatbelt, but the monster, who was eating on the dead driver changed its focus to me. My heart skipped a few beats, I kick the door open of the taxi, right as the monster tried to jump at me.  I fall to the ground, trying to shake off what had just happend, I look up and see an alleyway that I decide to run into. Wich is honestly one of the most stupid mistakes I have made. I manage to make my way into the alley, only to find nothing but a dead end. I turn around only to hear the groaning sounds of the monster. Slowly walking into the alley.

At that moment I start to panic, trying to find something to protect myself with, the best thing I found was a rusty pipe lying on the ground. I grab the pipe and run to the corner of the alley, getting ready to kill the monster that was looking for me. I ready myself, holding the rusted pipe like a golf club, but before I could raise it for a head hit, the monster slips on the pipe falling to the ground. I freeze not knowing what to do. Before I could react, the monster grabs me by the leg and I fall to the ground dropping the pipe in the process.

I try to crawl back, kicking at the monster, trying to make it let go of me. but nothing works. I continue to crawl backwards only screaming one thing, "what the hell are you!?" as I feel something move across my hand.  It was a sharp peice of glass. I firmly grab it as I feel pain running through my palm. I look back at the red monster clinging on to my leg, it has climbed up the leg and is ready to tear open my insides, I quickly stabbed the red skinned monster in the shoulder. It whimpered but quickly recovered as I tried in the same place once again but nothing seemed to affect it.

I aim towards the head and hit right next to the ear, the face of the red skinned human had no emotions. It was dead...

For some strange reason I decided to look at, what was now my bloody watch, it had gone exactly 30 minutes from work to where i am now...

30 minutes...
