Just as I stepped outside, I saw bones.
Bones and corpses of innocent people.
I couldn't resist and walked away, trying not to look at the dead bodies.
Just the sight of this.. it would make anyone puke.
My voice is still dead, though I feel the need to scream constantly, just so I could hear something.
Not even an animal in sight, birds or even rodents..nothing.
No living organism in sight.. except for me.
As I kept walking on the streets, I thought to myself :
"What if it's too late. What if other people did live, but committed suicide due to the severe loneliness..?"
I tried to shake that thought off, but it just kept coming back.
"I need to find an answer, and I will do anything I can to achieve that."
Just as I said that in my mind, I heard a painstakingly loud growl.
My heart started racing, I didn't know what to do.
I looked around for any open shop doors.
I ran to every door I could, until I inevitably found an open one.
I rushed in and hid behind a counter, my head peeking out.
What was that thing?
Was it going to kill me!?
My heart kept racing, adrenaline started pumping inside my veins.
Though I thought I was and would always be powerless.
I am just an average man, who worked an average job.
Whatever that thing is, I really should try not to die.
After a while, I heard another growl..
It was the loudest thing I ever heard.
I shook in terror as I saw a black, canine creature with glowing yellow eyes..
It had an abnormally large tail. It seemed to have a spiky texture..
There were 3 weird spiked cone-like objects coming out of it's front legs and shoulders.
It was.. really muscled..
..It was a living, breathing nightmare.
It looked around for something.. And so I presumed that 'something' was me.
It turned to the shop I was in all of a sudden, as I quickly pulled my head back.
I heard another growl, though not as loud as the second one it had. But certainly louder than the first..
My already-ringing ears felt like they were bleeding..
..It was terrifying.
I supposed the canine creature left, as I peeked out of the counter.
I could now see 2 creatures..And that's when another thought came to me :
"Are they the fault.. for all of this?"
I now had 2 new objectives..
To find an answer to all of this..
..and to exterminate, or perhaps cure those things.
So I came up with the following plan :
I need to try everything in my disposal to cure them..
If that doesn't work, I'll need to kill them.
Meanwhile, I'd need to be looking for other survivors.
They didn't turn their heads to the shop I was in again, thank God.
After what felt like an eternity, they left.
I slowly got out of my hiding spot, seeing nothing in sight.
"Was that an illusion? An illusion made by my mind, to break me even more?"
"Was it a vision? To tell me about what I will be going through?!"
I was getting more terrified by the second..
I decided to remain inside the shop, looking for any food.
I turned around on a corner, observing empty food cans and bottles.
Maybe someone was here before me..
Since I couldn't find anything, I took another peek outside : Still nothing in sight.
I carefully stepped out, once again observing the dead corpses of innocent people.
I looked away, trying not to puke.
I continued walking, trying to figure out where I could find anyone..
Would I encounter those creatures again?
Will I finally meet anyone?
Or would I get killed from those devilish creatures, still being alone forever..?
