In your time is far different from many, any other. 6050. The time an infectious disease had spread globally, slaughtering the world's population with tremendous numbers... people die everyday, reborn as crawlers of the night. It's been this way since the accident of 6010. 40 years ago.

You and Conrad had been close since the very beginning. Your mother's were close, and your fathers got along, it was only natural that you two would be there for one another.

Especially times like this.

PRESENT DAY

You were both camping out at an abandoned building for the night. Spring had bloomed as you both gazed at the now corrupt buildings filled with plants. Nature had claimed its land back, and animals roamed... even with the disaster of the fallen city, it was still a beautiful sight.

You and Conrad exchange some food, lighting a fire to cook dinner. 2 squirrels he caught, and the eggs you found. It was pleasant having quiet moments with him.. but it did feel like you two grew up fast. The apocalypse started mid through your childhood- being robbed from having a normal one. But it was nice still having one another's company

You and him chatted fondly about the past, and how things were like before... it was all nice before you both were alarmed by loud bangs from the back door. It was almost in an instant that the infected flooded in, running towards the two of you.

Conrad quickly launched up onto his feet, grabbing you as you seemed to have a much slower reaction than him- and quickly exiting the building. You regained your composure and sprinted along with him, but accidently tripped and fell- hitting your head hard against a medal... Blood leaked from your head as your vision got blurry... You can faintly see Conrad's panicked face as he took you.

"It's okay... your okay! Fucking dumbass.."

His words echoed through your head as you slowly blacked out.

the last thing you remembered was him carrying you, as the infected was close behind...
