CHAPTER:1
How It Happened
“Wake up, I said, WAKE UP!” A force pounded into my arm. “OW! What the hell Brian?” I replied a bit annoyed.
“Common get up. I made breakfast. Now eat before those damned monsters come and eat our food and you.”
“OK, OK. I’m getting up.” I said as I sat up. I went over to the can of black beans next to our fire. As I was eating I couldn’t help it but just to think how I’d kill for a big cheeseburger. The same one I would always get at Red Robins on Saturday nights with my friends. We would laugh and have a good time. Things were better back then. When things were so much simpler. You’d just wake up, take a shower, go to work, go home and see family and/or friends.
But the tides had changed. The world is on fire. Being tormented by it. I remember when this whole world tripped over and plunged straight into hell. I was sitting in my apartment being a lazy ass, eating chips and watching the news station. It was talking about this new obsession on the internet. It was something about Alien Gods or Elder Gods. It was so ridiculous. Elder Gods? I remember snickering at the name, Elder. Since when do God, or well Gods get old? Aren’t they supposed to be infinite? Immortal?
But I did consider it because strange things started to happen when that trend came up. World governments started to trust each other less and less. Soon enough we banned shipments from China. We build a border against Candida. After that, things only got worse.
Russia allied with China and went to War with the United States. Since we were allied with the United Kingdom it lasted a while with mostly threats. But during that war large amounts of fish was dying. In a month it was said that 3% of all water creatures were dead. Thousands of dead or dying fish would wash up on shores all around the world.
After two months the U.S won some battles against Russias and China’s alliance. But that was nowhere near the end of that. They sent attacks in large scale cities. New York, Detroit, Chicago, Las Angeles, Las vegas, and Houston.
By the time those happened the news said that millions of more fish died and that hundreds maybe thousands of species have died. Scientists said that one third of the world waters have died. When that happened a fight between the U.S and U.K alliance against Russia and China alliance over the Atlantic Ocean. The battle lasted hours. At the end of the battle one third of all the ships that was there survived. When they came back all the news stations reported it and people went crazy. They were connecting how one third of the ships and oceans have died to Revelations chapter 8 verse 9:
a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The people was going to stores, clearing the shelves, believing the Devil was to come. Shooting stars fell into rivers a couple days later. Scientists called them Wormwood. After that people really started to get scared. Churches started to get packed. People were turning to the Lord because they were scared. Next a large solar flare burst and it reached to the moon. Any and all electronics were done. There were no more communication. No more cars. No more money. From that crimes has risen. Shops were being robbed. People murdered for a scrap of food. The next day another star has fallen. That when the world went straight into hell. There were reports of creatures with a very deformed bodies doing something as the priests said, “Satanic, opening the key to the bottomless pit.”
What arose from the pit was hundreds of thousands of monsters. Some had leathery wings other had a tail for legs. But some were terrifying. Some had mouths with razor sharp teeth that covered its face. And others long arms for easy grabbing.
The world’s military attacked these abominations but only to fail. These monsters killed any living breathing thing. They were impossible to defeat. Not just because they are at least fifty feet tall but their skin is bulletproof, missile proof, bomb proof.
And that’s when hope came. This hope makes us believe that we might live. That all the monsters can be slayed. That they can help us. That these Angles are here to save us. The angles were impossibly bright like they were encased in fire. Who knows maybe they were.
They did not use weapons to kill these monsters. Not a sword or a bow. But their voices. Their voices led them to their victory. Only victory was not there. Only death.
One by one those angles were overwhelmed by the thousands of monsters. Soon enough all the angles were dead, sent back to heaven. We were left behind.
The monster continued destroying the city’s Crumbling mountains. And when everything seemed lost. When it was all over. When the last three billion was left just about to grab onto hope. It was snatched away once again. And that when it came. It told its monsters to gather the souls of everything human besides them. And I was one of them.
