In Their Empty Eyes

Although the exact date of the apocalypse is uncertain, the day that it reached Grayville was not hard to determine. It was the 5th of June—or, to be more exact, a Tuesday—and the year I'm sure I do not need to mention, for it is quite obvious on its own.

The timing, however, was miraculous, and I do not speak for the residents of Grayville. The unmentionables struck at precisely the right hour, when everyone was asleep and unaware of anything unholy—which, unfortunately, was exactly what they were.

A clear example is poor, 4-year-old Jessica Kay, who was among the very first to become part of Hell's army. Her mess of tangled brunette hair made a ball around her tiny head as she made a small, inhuman roar, signaling the remaining unmentionables' attack.
