Chapter 2 Day 1: Monster

I didn't know how long I was unconcious for but when I woke up all the people around me were gone and the door was completely destroyed. The air wasn't filled with black mist anymore but it was hanging low to the ground looking almost depleted. Getting up I looked around but the place was devoid of people as far as the eye can see. I still don't know what compelled me back then but I went to the kitchen I took a knife with me before leaving the cafe. Walking down the street the place looked like a ghost town with no one on the streets and everything was abondoned and the low hanging mist just added to the gloomy atmosphere making me clutch my knife even harder.

After an hour of searching for anyone, I stumbled upon someone or rather...something. Standing in the middle of the street was what seemed to be a man in a tattered business suit. He was just standing there not moving an inch and I knew that I should have realized something was wrong but I was so elated to find someone else in this gloomy place that the thought never crossed my mind. 

"Hey!!" I shouted as I walked over and tapped his shoulder.

*Snarl* 

Suddenly the man, or whatever it was, turned around and snarled at me. The man's face was grey as if deprived of blood, his eyes were blood shot radiating madness and his teeth was black like charcoal. The man lunged at me showing his teeth that looked more like black fangs at this point. I was slow to react due to how stunned I was and he bit me on the shoulder.

[-2 LP]

The pain shook me out of my stupor as I pushed the man off my shoulder. Clutching the knife that was still in my hand i stabbed the man in the chest but he didn't even flinch and lunged at me again. This time I had the presence of mind to dodge and run away from this creature but it followed me and snarled crazily. Eventually I ran into a clothing store that looked like it was robbed with mannequins lying everywhere. I closed the door behind me and braced against it as the man banged onto it feverently. Looking around I looked if there was anything I can use as a weapon when I spotted a metal rod on the ground. Quickly I dashed towards the metal rod and picked it up and not a second too soon the man broke the door off the hinges and rushed at me. He swung his hand at me but I managed to dodge and swing the metal rod onto the man's head causing him to fall to the floor. But he was not fazed as he tried to get up immediately but I wouldn't let him. I continued to swing the metal rod unto his head over and over again, black blood spattered all over the place and unto my face and as my arms fatigued and I started to wonder if this bastard was immortal I noticed that he stopped trying to get up.

Just I was wondering what the hell was going on an even larger screen appeared infront of me. The screen was black in colour with blood red letters making it look quite scary. As questions ran through my head about what the actual fuck was going on with the world itself and this scary as fuck screen in my face. As these questions ran through my mind I suddenly remembered that I killed a man but I didn't really care. As I stared at the screen infront of me wondering what these different words meant I finally got some answers.

Looking the 'answers' he got Colin almost fainted on the spot. If the information is to be believed then he wasn't even human anymore. Suddenly cold sweat dripped down his face and he rushed towards one of the bathrooms and looked into the mirror. Sighing in relief, his image in the mirror still looked human the only differences to his previous appearance was that his skin was a bit paler and their was a tinge of red in his eyes. Suddenly he wondered something and pulled his pants down and then he sighed relief once more. 

'Whatever humanity is over rated anyway.'
