(POV unknown)
"Shit, shit, shit I'm out of ammo," I mutter as I run away from enemy soldiers firing at me.
finding a trench, I take my chances and dive feet first into it, I duck down looking around me and I see nothing but corpses filled to the brim with bullet holes surrounding me.
I crouch down looting the closest corpse of any unused bullets and grenades I could find.
Suddenly I flinch and backed away as the corpse twitched violently.
Just as I back away I see the impossible, the corpse I looted slowly levitated up into the air still spasming as it lit up in flames and all its flesh slowly melted away.
Just as I saw the flesh start melting I ran away hiding in a corner, loading my shotgun as I hear the sounds of rattling bones and crackling fire.
I hesitantly stuck my head out the corner, I saw the hellish being in front of me, I fire round after round while running away tripping on a corpse while I did so.
Crawling away through the bloodied ground I could only cower at the sight of a burning skeleton slowly walking toward me.
As It got closer I hear it angrily mutter "CyRUs…wAke….Up...WakE..UP…cY-" I see it sprinting right at me with its arms out as it grabbed my solder and shouted, "WAKE UP CYRUS!!!!".

2 minutes earlier.
In a high-rise apartment, as light seeps in through windows a young Asian man with black hair and black eyes, sleeps on a bed with his face filled with sweat and contorting with pain.
As a click echoes through the room an Asian child about four years of age with black hair and eyes opens the door and hurriedly walks towards the bed.
After the child climbed the bed he made his way to the man and starts poking him in the face while excitedly speaking "Brother wake up.".
As the man continued sleeping the boy started getting irritated and started slapping the man back and forth repeating three words each time he did so "Cyrus wake up.".
And when that didn't work he tried grabbing the man's arms and shaking him as he shouted in the man's ear "WAKE UP Cyrus!!!!".

(POV Cyrus)
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I jolt up awake as my head bangs into something hard "What the h-" I blurt out franticly looking around while massaging my stinging face and ringing ear.
Looking around I realize where I am, I try calming down (It was just a nightmare, there's nothing to fear…that wretched war ended years ago.).
As I calm down and the ringing fades away I hear a faint sobbing echo through my room.
I look to my side I see the source of the waterworks and my pain, my brother on the floor holding his head while sobbing.
Well, I guess it's time for introductions, the devilishly handsome and well-built young man in front of you is me the man titled the 'the world's finest scientist' Cyrus Ryker.
And this little bundle of tears and snot I'm trying to console is none other than my little brother Logan Ryker, his one and only title being 'the king of dumbasses'.

As I park my car in front of a school I look at Logan in the backseat staring angrily at me and sigh.
"Look I know you're excited for your school's sports day, but you know better than to do that," I say in a soft tone. Seeing Logan look away, I sigh once more and lean toward him with my arm extended.
Just as he was about to flinch I pat him on the head with a sad expression "Logan you know I wouldn't hurt you on purpose and I know recently I've been busy with work and haven't spent time with you. But please don't do that again, I could have hurt you by accident…. well hurt you more and I don't want to lose the only family I have in this world".
I sigh once again seeing him unresponsive (did I head butt him too hard?) I wondered as I exited the car and opened the backseat door.
Suddenly I find Logan hugging my legs "I know I did something stupid again, it's just Miss Emerson" he trailed off before speaking again.
"It's just Miss Emerson told us, all the games today will be played with the adults and I knew we would win cause you are strong".
"Well then if that's the case," I say lifting him and placing him on my shoulders "Let's win this thing," I said while grinning like a mad scientist…. Oh yeah, I am one.
"Um brother, can you put me down?" Logan asked me.
"Uh yeah sure but why?" I question him with my eyebrows raised (Didn't he always like it when I did this? Is he embarrassed?).
"I got to pee…." He said nervously.
I sigh with a deadpan face (You just had to ruin the moment didn't you).

(A few minutes later)
"Did you really have to take that long?" I irritably say as I exit the restroom.
Logan looked at me "But Mrs. Emerson said we have to wash our hands like that to get dirt off it".
"Yeah but who the fu- frick takes six minutes to wash their hands?!" I tell him in disbelief. Then out of the blue, I hear a gunshot but not just me everyone in the hallway hears it as well.
"Great now we're late for the race." I say sighing, "No we're not it starts at 10, look it's 8:30." He says pointing at a clock on the wall.
I look at the clock and sigh once more "Ok first of all the clock is pointing at 9" facepalming before continuing "And second of all then why the hell else would there be a gunshot in a school."
(Unless it's a-) I think before my eyes widen hearing guns fire and people screaming outside.
With adrenaline pumping throughout my body, I grab Logan by the waist and run toward the exit before anyone in the hall can react.
"Dammit, it isn't opening," I whisper after trying to open it, after the failed exit I bolt to the closest classroom along with a few others.
Slowly after a few seconds, people pile up in the classroom. Just as I begin to try to calm Logan down, I hear two distinct sounds one of glass breaking and the other of loud footsteps.
When I look back I see a brick fly right by me and hit a kid dead center on the forehead.
I rush over along with a few others to tend to the child, and out of the corner of my eye, an armed man marches into the room through the now-broken window.
I see the man raise his gun and yell out in panic "Everybody get down!!", ducking behind a bookshelf while doing so and yanking a few people behind it as well.
As the firing stopped and screaming continued I poke my head out, my mind is filled with rage and worry as I see my brother the only family ever had writhing on the floor clutching his bleeding lower abdomen.
I look at the shooter who was now reloading his rifle, enraged I grab a table and use it as a shield whilst charging at him.
I heard the man yelp and start firing at me but I was too enraged to give a damn, just as I covered the distance I throw the table high in the air and straight at him.
While distracted by the hunk of wood coming toward him I get behind the shooter and put him in a headlock making the table to hit him dead on the hip.
I heard a crack and pushed him down onto the floor and quickly nabbed a chair and started bashing him on the back with it until the chair broke.
I see him trying to crawl away toward his gun and grab his arm and extend it out.
While I raise my legs I slam my foot down breaking his arm and bending it the opposite way.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I hear him scream as he tried punching me with his other arm, I catch his hand and break it as well.
I then grab the assault rifle and just as I was about to fire at the shooter I suddenly cough out blood, I look down and see the chest portion of my shirt covered in and leaking out blood.
(Shit did I get shot? When did I-) I then thought back to me throwing a table at the shooter (Must have happed back then.).
As the adrenaline and rage fade away, reality and worry hit me like that brick that hit that kid.
I look around seeing everyone fled, the only ones in the room were corpses and those who couldn't walk.
I turn towards Logan and try walking towards him only to collapse to the ground. I somehow miraculously crawled over to him and rested my back on the cold marble floor.
I looked at his condition and hugged him tightly, trying to divert his attention from the pain.
"It wi #cough# ill be fine just #cough# #cough# hang on" I weakly whisper to him as I hear sirens (late and useless as always) I thought as everything slowly ascended into black.
