The watch
When Hans woke up it was an hour before noon.
‚Dam, this hurts. It's too bright.'
Hans maneuvered over to the window and pulled down the blinds. After his eyes stopped hurting he was able to take in the room again.
As he saw the corpse of his brother he felt as if his guts got hit. However he stood strong as there was still that peaceful smile on his brother.
As Hans thought about burying his brother he heard that cursed shreek again from outside.
It was really difficult for him to look outside cause his eyes somehow changed to be more sensitive to light.
Overall he noticed quite a few changes in his body. Yesterday night everything was so chaotic and one event followed the other he never had time.
After squinting his eyes and some more effort he was able to see 4 humans, one of which he could identify as their neighbor, fight with 2 dogs.
Two humans both missed their right arms and the dogs were missing major chunks of flesh but were just as lively as ever.
It remembered one more of a Zombie movie.
More and more doubts were raised in his mind what is going on.
After around 5 minutes, 1 of the zombies, that's what Hans decided to call them for now was killed and shortly after that both of the dogs.
What happened next somehow didn't really shock him. It had just happened to many crazy things in a short period of time.
The zombies started eating all the corpses. The dogs and their own ex-partner.
After that they just stayed their doing different movements over and over.
The one zombie he could identify as his neighbor was doing a motion of using a gardening tool to cut his plants.
‚He did had a great gardening hobby.
That's why he hated us kids. He always feared we could ruin his perfect garden. -_-
From their fighting style I can see that these zombies have no intelligence or instinct left. While those zombie dogs clearly still very good instincts left.
Gotta be careful of animals.
I have to burn my family's remains or they will be dug up by those things.
Better do it at day. Smoke isn't nice but light in the night even less.'
And so Hans carried together a lot of wood and mad a pile brought enough for two people. To start the fire fast he used the canister where the fuel for the lawnmower is kept, emptying it completely.
Then he put his parents onto the pile and in their middle their beloved child.
‚So this is truly our last goodbye. May all of you Rest In Peace.'
Then he ignited the wood. After that he left back into the house watching after the fire from there.
Thanks to the large amount of fuel it took only a short period of time and nothing eventful happened.
Hans went back into his room and darkened it as much as possible.
‚Much better. The sun really hurt. Seems I gonna be nocturnal from now on.
If this Apokalypse is connected with those unnatural occurrences yesterday this is a global thing.
Out of the 5 people I know here 3 became zombies. Also it seems this zombification seems to not be infectious.
Or at least not in short time or that bite would have turned me already.
Also from my fight with mother being turned into a zombie strengthens the individual while losing their mind and intelligence.
However traits ingrained into subconsciousness seem to be repeated indefinitely as long as their is no food in their field of sense.
Now as their instincts are weakens do their senses are also weakened or are they strengthened as the rest of their body.
Testing that can be dangerous. Lets first do something safe. So what are you?'
Hans stared intensely on his right wrist where there was still that black watch.
On the screen of the watch there were multiple app icons, some were barred with chains. From these only one had an name written under it.
It read: B&S Worldwide
‚B&S clearly means buy and sell.
Just why does whatever is behind this, want all survivors to be able to communicate? And buy and sell how should the things be transported after all logistic went down?
This all seems so fishy.'
Hans was already shocked but I only came bigger when he looked at the normal looking icons.
On one you could see the outline of a muscular man posing. It read: Stats
Intrigued Hans clicked on it.

First his face was blank, while his mind was already trying to sort and connect the information.
But it gained traction fast.
‚This seems more and more like game. I don't like that.
Some higher being toying around with humanity.
That's a despairing possibility.'
‚I've to gotta look at the other apps for more information.'
‚one is called shop, one community but it seems to be grayed out, another ones name is Smithy and a lot of free spaces were lines seemingly are reserving space for something.'
So the chain symbols definitely say these are important functions you sent allowed to use for now. The worldmarket is the only chained one with a name so it's likly going to be opened first in the near future. Got have to look out for it.
That free space as well as that grayed out one seem to reserve something. It gives me the feeling of a Corporation telling their employees it's open for everyone to use, IF you are high enough employed. Not as a way of discrimination and more one of advertising benefit hard working people can get tighter with their promotion.
Over all this gives of an impression of being perfectly planed to have us follow their plan.
If I could just find out what that is.'
Hans brain was smoking. Also this analysis and deduction was something he was taught but never liked as this kind of mental work wasn't his fortitude.
In the end he was pretty tired and could hardly concentrate.
As he noticed he still had to look into the shop he really didn't want to anymore but he also remembered himself that he was now alone so he had to.
In the shop there first were two main categories:
Buy/Sell
Hans Frist went onto sail and the screen just got black so he had no idea what to do except klick on the X at the top right.
Going onto to buy he had to decide again between
Crystals/Items/Books.
