1 New "NORMAL"
_ Current date: 1/3/2xxx - Friday _
_ Current location: The abandoned lab _
In the city where many things reside, normally a lot of events will happen. They can either be a common occurence or an unusual one.
Truly it is normal to die but.. is it normal for the dead to rise?
So what will happen if the higher ups hide all critical sorts of information that could affect a wide distance, or perhaps the world rather. of course since it's crucial enough to involve every living organism.
...From a short distance, a few reporters came along.
They gathered in a run down Facility, a place under the government. Shady in appearance, with all the dust, the broken sides on the walls, the dirt covered floor, run down faucets and everything..
The Reporters came in place of the.. " Inspection Team ", to check the place that tried to research more about the virus that the higher ups hid from the masses. They came in their place to gather information, as to the sudden disappearance of the promised results a few years ago.
That place itself had an ominous feel, The trees were dead most branches fell as the others are blown by the cold wind.. as if nobody ever planned to stay.
The people in charge of reporting the current situation of the place, arrived to the entrance.. 12 of them in total, the one in command called out to the youngest one in their team. told him to set up the cameras, as the others planned and had already gone inside.
To their curiousity, the place they entered had no signs of life..
" What.. it's only been like 3 years..? "
" It's like they just left.. or disappeared... "
" ... "
Those inside kept conversing, as they inspect the place within, they got close to a locked door. locked with chains and a heavy chair placed in the front.. there was blood stains by the doorknob, and a loud banging from the inside.
...
..Back to those outside, as they set up the cameras for filming..but, little do they know.. they were being watched from a distance.
" Test- "
" ...Est "
" Test..! "
" Is it ready.. Rob! have you started filming?? "
From behind, the bushes rustled.. from there a person came about. one who wasn't a part of their team.
" ...! "
There were 4 of them outside, One of them tapped the one in charge of directing on the shoulder..
" Um.. Sir, I believe weve got company.. "
He spoke as he pointed to the one behind the bushes.. the leaves rustled, moved by the wind..
" Is that so.. Go- wait! take this.. " Their director gave out a small notebook and a pen.
" Cough out some information about the place from that person.. Don't go back empty handed.. else I'll have you fired! "
" Y-yes sir..! "
Off he went, but the one he went up to was.. well.. thats for time to tell what happened...
...

_ Current location: The City _
In the city, where a ton of things always happen.. there lived a boy named Seth White..
...
Just this morning, The radio from the room in front of mine was really loud.. It was talking about some kinda reporters getting lost..
...
It's a beautiful day outside.
It is, well... hm.. another normal Friday morning.
My name is Seth.. currently 17 I live with my mother in a small.. kinda normal? house located in the city. where is that? like hell I'd know, more like I never tried looking at a map anyway..
cough* enough with that..
well, even so I had only woke up myself.
Ring!*
My hand gripped to a fist, and moved on its own as the sound got louder beside me and..
Thud!* Crash!*
...
Normal.. normal... yep I even killed the alarm before it went off. killed.. as in I unconciously hit the damn clock till it flew off to the wall and broke itself.
" Seth! what was that loud noise just now?!- "
ah.. busted by my mother...with her voice that echoed from the stairs.
...
" oh!.. it broke itself.. "
I am not at fault.. I think.
" what?- what broke? "
She yelled as her footsteps head towards my door.
" Nothing, mom! I'm gonna get ready now so go back down! "
Haa... it's the third alarm clock that broke this week. it's only even the first week of school.
...
*Ping!
" Hm..? " the sound of my phone went as a message had arrived.
...
Still lying on my soft~ bed.. I grabbed the phone. and checked.
click*
// _Mornin, Nerd._
_Ya better hurry if ya wanna see something good!_
_Meet me at the usual Tree_
_-Theo_ //
Surely I bet hes up to no good once again.
I guess I'll have to send a reply before I get off my bed.
// _Alright_
_Don't you dare ditch me as soon as I get there._
_Else.. I'll have to punch your guts_
_BTW, Bring a weapon with ya_
_Lets raid someplace later._ //
and... sent!
Yawn!*
..Time to get ready.. I checked my phone to see the time..
// Current Time: 6:35 am //
Honestly.. it'll be like any other boring day where school still exists, as I look out the window. well.. the view? it's normal. more like a common sight as to how their daily lives work I guess.
Looking down, the streets today are flooding with people. men, women, children, beggars as well as the roaming stray dogs, cats and pretty much just the living beings trying to live out their lives.
Ping!*
a new message had arrived as I was still preparing..
// _Bro what?_
_WDYM, Raiding someplace?_
_Just hurry and get your butt ready._
_Ohh.. and I'm on my bike and am headin there to the Tree, Get yer face here already._ //
' Raid ' more like I just wanted to scare off some brats that would flock in my usual spot.
some kids that would often sit on the roof where I usually sleep in.
// _Got it_
_Also I got some nice loot today. I'll be eating the whole morning in class._
_After we go to the Tree, Help me chase off some brats. //
sent-
*Zip-
I finished packing some stuff in my bag just now.
what did I bring? do I have to tell?
...
You won't believe me but.. I always go to school bringing a single notebook and the rest.. Food. lots of chips, of course my lunch that was prepared by my mother and yes.. the most important is food. I don't have time to listen to class. learning was never my type. so I usually sleep on my desk and eat during class. I lost count as to how many times had I been called to the office.. haha.. ehh.. nevermind that.
Alright.. I went down the stairs just now.
passed by the kitchen, it seemed like my mother was washing some dishes..? but the lights were off.. it gives off some scary vibes so I didn't look.
Eh.. must be normal for her..
crash..!*
the sound came from the kitchen. but I had already reached the door so I didn't check to see what happened. must be some plates that fell on accident.
"careful, mom!" Finally.. I'm headin out.
...
...
...
The curtains blew since the window was open in the kitchen, but the lights were still off.
from the garden outside our house I tried to look in the window, but I couldn't get a clear picture of the sight from the inside. it was too dark.
"hrrr..."
_a near silent sound that mumbled, came from the same place..
_Seth hadn't noticed.
I guess I'll go now, it'd be bad if I were late.
"I'm Off, mom!"
...
...
...
I grabbed my skateboard, and took off with it-
I am near sighted so I ain't used to looking at long distances. but theres a weird sight from afar.
it looks like some kid getting chased by a weirdly huge person..?
"Hm..? This morning seems rather wild."
I grabbed a cutter from my bag, sliced open the wrapper of the candy I took from my pocket, with my cutter.
lick* well.. its not bad... t'was what I thought as I placed the round candy in my mouth.
on my way, the road had a split one leads to school the other to.. "The Tree".
I kicked the ground to switch the direction of my board, to the road that lead to The Tree. where Theo waited.
from a distance, I could see him sitting down and.. petting a small animal.
...
What..?
...
"Ey, Theo.. Whats with the bloody get-up."
my mind was confused from the sight of his clothing. his jacket down to his pants that looks like it's been raining red paint.
...
I got closer, stopped my board. and stood still, holding my skateboard with my hands.. till the wind blew, as it did the scent of his clothes were blown at my nose..
...
"God!-"
my skate board fell as my hands covered my nose.
"What the hell! dude! did you butcher up some meat.. something this morning?!"
I yelled, whilst covering my lower face with both hands. thinking that can NOT be paint, Blood smells more like it.
He sat, and tilted his head a bit. holding his phone, yet even the screen had droplets of blood like fluid.
"Heya, Seth."
his gaze saddened..
"Say, Is your mother alright? or did you not look at the news this morning.." he looked straight to my eyes.
"Why? what happened? and why are you covered in blood?!" It was shocking.. really. I who had no clue on whats happening...
"Lets just say.. The world already ended."
"Seth, Bro.. I see ya got your weapon. thanks for telling me. I also got mine!"
_Theo thought as if Seth knew of the current situation. as if Seth warned him but he guessed wrong. when he mentioned bringing a 'Weapon' in their text.
"Man.. so like I guess I gotta fill ya up with the news I heard and saw for myself."
He calmly explained whats happening.
The world, engulfed in a whole lot of weird events.
What will happen next..?
