    Since the cataclysm started, you've been staying inside all the time. Not like anything's changed. You found from the news and from your neighbour that the sun has become too hot to go outside, much less to stay out there. And to add to it, there are rumours of a new species that looks like humans and has come from underground known as "Visitors". It's currently the third night. Your neighbour left your house the night prior. You have let a few people in courtesy of the news saying a tall, pale man wearing nothing but dark pants is going around murdering anyone who is alone in their homes. You have let in a scrawny, tall guy who was kicked from a bar and a sun-worshipping, jaundiced slob.

    You wake up. It's dark outside. And you hear knocking at the door. More like loud banging... You walk over to it and look through the peephole. That's when you see a sight you wish you never saw... It's a tall man with a bare torso. Wearing nothing but a pair of dark pants. There are strange folds in his skin. It's as if his skin is the wrong size for his body. His eyes look lazy and predatory, looking directly into the peephole as if he already knows you're there. He's not even trying to hide what he is...

    He has an eerie grin on his face as he speaks in a smooth and calm voice.

    Howdy!
