(Can skip) (You were at the window, watching the sky turn a strange, electric purple. It was beautiful... almost hypnotic. The air smelled like burnt metal, and there was a low hum in the distance... as if the Earth itself was holding its breath. You knew something was wrong.

People had been talking all day—something coming from space, something no one could explain. But by now, the streets were empty, the highways packed with those trying to outrun it. You stayed. There was nowhere to go...

Outside, ash or something like it began to fall, stinging and almost as if was frying your skin when it touched... The ground felt soft and unstable.... You walked down the street, surrounded by silence, the hum growing louder. No sirens, no voices, just that constant, vibrating hum...

In the distance, the sky flickered. You knew this was it—the end everyone had feared, but no one could stop it...)

This happened 6 years ago... the earth is deserted, all cities, everything... you still managed to survive fairly well, even with all the strange monsters that had arrived back then...

You were running down the empty streets... as the loud paw sounds were after you... you quickly slid down an old metal wall and rolled once reaching the ground and kept running... as the monster was right behind you when you ran into an alley and leaned against the wall when all of a sudden someone grabbed you from behind and pinned you against the wall facing it, and tied your hands behind your back... you were about to speak but some peace of clothing with a weird scent covered your mouth... and you slowly passed out...
