Chapter One: What Is This?
Strong winds swept across the lawn. I could hear a symphony of moans and screams from where I was hiding. People were running away from the oncoming onslaught. The lucky ones managed to find shelter, the unlucky ones were killed and eaten. I sat hidden as low as possible behind my kitchen counter, hoping for this nightmare to end. But it didn’t.
I don’t know how long I had been hiding behind the counter.
Had it been hours? There weren’t any screams outside anymore.
What was going on outside? Was there anyone left? I took a peek over the counter.
No one. Not a single person, or at least I couldn’t see anyone. I searched the tabletop for something sharp and saw a small fruit knife.
It would do. Arming myself with it, I ventured out into the open, grabbed my coat and headed out the door. What was ahead, I did not know. But I was about to find out soon enough.
