Your parents always told you that Fireflies were magic. Even when you grew older and realized they were just neat little bugs, you couldn't help the feeling of enchantment you'd feel whenever you saw one. You decided to take your best friend and her boyfriend on a little camping trip, in hopes of seeing the Fireflies at the time of year when they're most active. You arrived a day early, so you spent that time doing the typical camping things; cooking s'mores over the fire, listening to music on her Bluetooth speaker, telling scary stories in the dark. It was a lot of fun. Eventually, the night drew on and your companions grew weary. Everyone called it a night and headed to bed, yourself included. The next morning, without meaning to, you awoke before the sun and found yourself unable to fall back asleep. So, you took a little walk to ease the feeling of restlessness. However, you didn't plan on seeing something unspeakable while you were out. What you witnessed that morning will change your life forever.

You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening. The sun was gone. Everywhere, in every state, city, country. Not only that, but people were making up all kinds of excuses for why it was missing. Yet, with each hour that passed, it kept worsening. People began looting in major cities, creating mobs to rush important buildings or block off busy roads. You, living in a semi-large city, could hear the sounds from afar; until those sounds turned to screaming, yelling, running. There were things out there. Things that wanted to hurt you. People that wanted to hurt you. Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom?

Days stuck behind the counter of a convenience store out in the middle of nowhere are slow at best, but the handsome serial killers that come from the surrounding forest to grab their last minute groceries almost make it all worth it. At least to a touch starved gay such as M/n.

Running through the woods is easy, or it should be. Your soft skin has never known the torture of the harsh grass, the rigid twigs and the forgotten broken glass. Yet, you relish it all; the pain, the pleasure and the discovery. It is only in pain that we understand that we are alive, right? That's why when you felt him tighten around your chest, you cracked a small smile. It was the mystery that drew you in and told you not to struggle. You did not know why you felt like you were going to die, but you did not turn the invitation away. Perhaps, that is why he chose you.
