BOOM! That's how the never ending nightmare started. A loud BANG came after that. A few car alarms went off in sync with each other. It was just about a matter of time before they came.
Everyone was prepared for this day to come. Stores were closed and so were the local cafe's and restaurants. Today was the day that you were telling your family that you loved them and exchanging your final words to each other. Today was the end of the human race.

The warning sirens started to sail which indicated that the willums (the name for the creatures) were nearly here. Oh no, I muttered to myself, I'm running out of time. I pulled out my crumpled piece of paper in my pocket which contained my plan. The order went like this:
Step 1: Call family and friends and tell them that you love them.
Check
Step 2: Take all my belongings that mean the most to me.
Check
Step 3: Burn down the house
Check
Step 4: Run to the safe house and stay the night
Work in progress
Step 5: Take out the boat from the back and carry it out to the river
Not done
Step 6: Row to Greendale
Not done
I screwed up the piece of paper again and put it back in my pocket. My gun loaded and ready to go because the interactions with willums were very dangerous when fighting with hands. Looks like I'm all set, I thought to myself. Step 1 done, 5 more to go. With that said, I trudged down the muddy path and started the 5 mile journey to the safe house.

A few hours later
There was purple blood smeared across my combat trousers. I had come across a wave of willums a mile into my journey. The rush that was driving through my body was a fantastic one. I couldn't believe that I was still alive. They cornered me left right and centre. The image of the golden bullet going through their skulls was replaying in my head the the millionth time. I can't wait for the other willums to come at me. Give me the best you've got because I'm ready and more alive than ever.
