The next morning, David woke up feeling refreshed, he realized that he had forgotten to check his phone for any updates on the special event.
As he picked up his phone, he saw numerous missed calls and messages from his best friend tommy, who had travelled.
Curious, he opened one of the messages from his best friend, It read, "David, have you heard the news? The government has just announced that the special event is a massive storm that will hit your area in a few days. They're urging everyone to evacuate and seek shelter in designated areas but I think they are just trying to cover a scheme!"
David's heart sank as he read the message. He hadn't anticipated such a dangerous situation.
He quickly turned on the news to confirm the information and saw that even the weather man was leaving, panic started to set in as he realized he had not made adequate provisions for this.
He rushed downstairs and unlocked the basement door, retrieving the supplies he had stored there.
As he looked at the limited amount of food and water he had bought, he knew it wouldn't be enough to last through the storm.
Remembering the doubled prices at the supermarket, David regretted not buying more initially.
He frantically searched for any additional sources of food and water in the house but found nothing substantial.
Feeling desperate, David contemplated his options. He couldn't afford to buy more supplies, and leaving the house seemed risky with the storm approaching.
He decided to reach out to his neighbors, hoping they might have extra provisions to spare.
He knocked on each neighbor's door, explaining his situation and asking if they had any surplus supplies. He was disappointed as either none of them had or they were simply unwilling to give.
David felt more at afraid but he could not do anything, if he left the house, then he could be caught in the storm.
The only option was to ration the available resources and make them last as long as he could possibly make.
As the storm approached, David and his German Shepherd, now named Max, huddled together in the safety of their home.
They waited but even after a day the storm did not come, days turned into weeks as he and the other neighbors waited for the storm to come.
Davids supplies began to dwindle, and David carefully calculated how much longer they could sustain themselves.
He tried to remain positive, convincing his brain that maybe the storm was not coming but he was not courageous enough to go out and check.
After an eternity, David's curiosity took over his common sense and he went outside to see what was happening.
"Argggggggghh."
"Heellllllllp."
Behold before David was a scene he would never forget again, a nightmare so horrifying that would cause nervous breakdowns was happening before him.
