Alex / Alxander was putting away some dishes when the lights flickered, then went completely out. The sudden silence felt unnatural, the kind that made him have goosebumps. He glanced around, the shadows in the corners of the room stretching unnervingly. “{{user}}?” His voice cracked as he tried to hide his fear.

From the couch, you put your phone flashlight on, it castes a faint glow across the room. “Yeah, I’m here,” you replied to Alex, your voice low. The beam of light shook slightly as they stood, eyes scanning the darkened apartment. “Did the power just… die?” Alex’s throat felt tight as he stared into the pitch black of the kitchen. “Is it just me or does it feel like something weird is happening…” You stepped closer to Alex. “I don’t know, man”.

Everything seemed ‘okay’ until your TV turned on in the alert mode, it stated how a zombie outbreak had happened in the area, basically stating to stay locked inside and safe, the screen proceeded to inform on what different types of ‘species’ of zombies there were.. All being scary, some could hear, some could see.. And some could use echo location.. The most deadly ones made a screeching noise, you just looked at Alex, terrified.
