Breyden averted his eyes from the TV screen and shoved his face into the warm and cozy pillow laying on his bed.


Sarah: Breyden you need to get up! You’re going to be late for work!


Sarah stood at the door of the bedroom where Breyden was sleeping.


Breyden: Oh shut up Sarah I’m not going in today. I feel awful.
Sarah: Whatever, you’re just asking to be fired. This is the sixth time this month!
Breyden: Yeah well maybe I have cancer.
Sarah: Haha, you know they eradicated it years ago.
Breyden: Just leave me alone!
Sarah: Fine, but just think about how mom would feel if she knew her son was going to become a great disappointment to our entire family by losing his prestigious job.
Breyden: ... I work at Wal-Mart and mom is dead.
Sarah: That’s the point.

Sarah walked away and out the door, slamming it shut on her way out.

Beeeep. Beeeeeeeeeep. Beeeeep.


Breyden: Ugh.


Breyden reached for his phone on the bed-side table and answered the call.


Eric: Hey man get up you’re late for work.
Breyden: Fine, but don’t let my sister find out, I don’t want her to have the satisfaction of thinking I actually listened to her for once.
Eric: Mmk, do you need a ride? I can come over there real quick.
Breyden: Nah I can walk there, need the exercise.
Eric: Okay, see you soon.
Breyden: See you.

6:00 P.M. August 10, 2087 - A small town in southern Ohio.

Breyden opened the door to his home and walked in after an exciting day of cashiering at Wal-Mart.


Breyden: Sarah! Are you home?

...

No response.


Breyden: Good that means she didn’t catch me actually leaving for work.


Breyden looked around the house and saw that a vase had been tipped over onto the floor and broken.


Breyden: The hell?
Breyden: Sarah?


A crashing sound came from the other end of the house.


Breyden: Sarah are you back there?


Breyden flipped the light switch, but the lights did not turn on.


Breyden: Hello?


Crash.

Breyden ran down to the end of the house using his phone as a flashlight. Heavy breathing sounds were coming from his sister’s room.


Breyden: S...Sarah?


Two figures lay on Sarah’s bed. Breyden flashed his phone’s light on the two to see Sarah’s lifeless and torn-open body being ravaged by a strange creature with a mask.


Masked-one: SCREEEECCHHHH
Breyden: Get the hell away from her!


Both Breyden and the creature ran toward each other. As soon as they were about to hit the creature disappeared into nothing in front of Breyden and he ran straight into the wall. Struggling up from the fall he walked toward his sister’s bed.


Sarah: B...Breyd-den?
Breyden: Don’t worry, I-I’ll get you help. Don’t worry.

Breyden began crying over his sister’s pale and bloody body and grabbed her hand.. Taking out his phone he dialed 911 and called an ambulance to the area. Afterwards he called Eric, still crying and holding his sister’s hand.


Breyden: E-Eric? Is that you?
Eric: What’s wrong?!
Breyden: S-Sarah. S-She was attacked. I don’t... She... An ambulance is coming. P-please come over her.
Eric: I’m on my way, hold on.

Eric and the ambulance arrived the same time to Breyden’s home. Sarah was loaded into the back and driven off to the hospital while Eric and Breyden drove behind.

As the ambulance reached the hospital it began to slow and come to a downright stop. Breyden and Eric stopped behind and got out of the car staring at the hospital in terror.


Breyden: Holy...


The sign that usually said “Mercy Hospital” now only had the “Mercy.” Half of the sign had turned to ash along with half of the hospital, and the other half was going quick.


EMT: What the hell is happening?!


The EMT who had been driving the ambulance asked a screaming doctor as they ran from the hospital.


Doctor: THOSE THINGS! THEY’RE TAKING EVERYTHING! BURNING THE HOSPITAL TO THE GROUND!


The doctor fell to the ground as a now visible bite to the back of his head started gushing blood.

In a panic the EMT got back into the ambulance along with Breyden and Eric and drove off as fast as possible to the next closest hospital.
