The Dark World [1]

What are the feelings of being in a catastrophe?

Fear, despair, terror, panic, a strong desire to survive, and anxiety. All the negative energies a human could feel were being expelled from thousands of humans in the sealed-off zone of Miami.

"Brother, where are you, brother? I'm so scared; let's find mom."

Fear is a natural response in a catastrophic situation. It's an overwhelming sensation that paralyzes, as life and safety are at risk for both those who are safe and those who are not.

A girl walked among the rubble of her house, not knowing exactly how to find her little brother and mother. She could only look at the dark sky, hear the screams of people, and hear the terrifying sounds of crashes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A demon with two wings on its back walked slowly, crushing people's pets and creating unprecedented destruction in its surroundings. The girl, when she heard those loud crashes, believed the monster was close and went to hide inside a car with an open door.

A lack of understanding about what is happening and how to respond can lead to a sense of confusion. The mind struggles to process information amidst the chaos, and this in turn feeds the demons that are not powerful.

"Kill… I must keep killing. Tourists…"

In the surroundings, it was similar to this place, with much more confusion than people were used to, and this caused numerous demons to be born with such strength that increased the losses.

"Ahhhh, don't come near me!" A man in his fifties ran as much as he could, but due to the strain and exhaustion in his legs, he felt unprecedented pain and fell to the ground.

"God, if you are listening, save me... God, don't abandon me this way." The old man began to cry like a small child, and just when he thought everything had calmed down, his body twisted abnormally, his bones broke through his skin, and blood spread around like it was from a water hose explosion.

"There's another one; we have to hide here!" Shouted a young man with a reddened face from falling after trying to run.

"Everything was normal this morning; we can't be going through this." Said a girl who was completely upset. Despair hit the girl's will to live hard; she had witnessed the deaths of dozens of people, and it was not something she was prepared for.

That morning, when the sun rose on the horizon, the chaos began without warning. People got out of their beds and went out into the streets as usual, not imagining it would be the last day normalcy would rule their lives.

The demons, unleashed by a monstrous figure of evil, spread across the city. Violence and darkness spread through the streets like a black tide. In an instant, chaos took over the streets, and fear took hold of people's hearts.

People ran in all directions, stumbling and trampling each other in their eagerness to escape the nightmare unfolding before their eyes. Screams of terror echoed in the air as despair gripped the crowd. Those who had considered themselves civilized and rational were reduced to a mass of survivors fighting for their lives.

Words of supplication mixed with blasphemies. The same person who implored God for salvation could, in the next instant, commit acts of ruthless selfishness as common as breathing. Fear and despair clouded society's morals and ethics.

Some sought refuge in buildings and cars, hoping to find safety in faith. Others grouped into small communities, arming themselves with whatever they had on hand. But as the demons approached, the feeling of helplessness became overwhelming.

"Should we extend the window two kilometers more?" One of the inspectors looked at the information transmitted by drone data and asked his captain this.

"Negative, the assault team will enter and eliminate all the weak Demons. So far, two quite experienced exorcists have arrived, so we are waiting until the demon assault team on the other side of the city is ready to attack."

Numerous groups of special forces soldiers with goggles designed to see incorporeal demons prepared themselves. They didn't have divine abilities in their bodies, but they did have high-powered weapons capable of confronting the weaker demons.

Just their appearance—despite everything, some people might find hope in the midst of this catastrophe. Seeing them, they will cling to the idea that they will be okay and will stop feeding the demons.
