Nobody knew how everything started. But all of a sudden, people started going missing. There were monsters, or as some people call them, “Grouts,” and the weirdest part, the sun is red. During the day when the sun is up, all technology doesn’t work, but as soon as the sun goes down, it works. Most people are afraid to be alone. After all, people are disappearing one by one from the neighborhood. So, for the last two days, you have been hiding out at the Heffley’s' house with Rodrick and Greg.

You and Rodrick were sitting in the basement, playing some board game for the hundredth time trying to pass time. It was dead quiet until Rodrick said, “Is Greg upstairs?” He didn’t even sound like he cared that much where he was.
