"Now, is it safe?"
The girl almost fell asleep, feeling a sense of relief spreading through her body.
What barely held her consciousness together was a chilling voice that came from beside her.
"Wake up. It's not over yet."
The girl, who was about to catch a cold, snapped her eyes open.
Although the monsters that had been chasing her were now gone, it was not a time to relax.
Beyond the alley, the screams and shouts of people still echoed.
A growl, like that of a beast, followed them from behind.
A silhouette, as if it had twisted and broken a human body, cast shadows between the buildings.
And inevitably, a sound of something crunching followed.
The girl missed this morning. Back then, when everyone was suffering from the curse plague, it seemed better than now.
There was hope that things would get better if they endured.
But now, there was nothing.
The girl couldn't even move a finger.
