But without giving up, he wiped the tears off his eyes, he was now on his knees in his wife's room. His hands soon fell on his pocket, he had a phone!
'Why didn't I remember that I had a phone?'
He soon called to his wife's phone, but there was no answer. He tried again, but again no answer. He hoped that atleast they were alive. He called many times, but again no answer.
He called his workplace, to gain some information about this chaos. But there was no answer from them to. He picked up the licensed rifle in his home, his newfound power had run out. He put on his night vision goggles as he decided to go outside. He had to find his wife.
He went downstairs, but the blobby monster in the kitchen noticed him.
'Ah, F*ck. Talk about worst timing'
The monster was dark as others, it looked like a huge fat caterpillar. But it has a face of a human, as it saw Joseph, it crawled to him. Joseph was about to run but the monsters was fast even with that type of body.
Joseph, without any hesitation, fired the loaded rifle.
*BANG*
But the first bullet went through the monster, the ability of that damned monsters.
The bullet didn't even scratch it.
He fired again.
*BANG*
This time the bullet did some damage to it as the monster let out a scream.
*Shriek*
The gun he had was a hunting gun, it only had a 5-round magazine. That meant that he only had 3 shots left.
Since the monster was growling in pain like a dog, he couldn't understand how these monsters behaved. Joseph took a step back and shot other three times before he ran out of ammo.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Luckily, two out of the three shots managed to hurt the monster. It let out a cry.
*Shriek*
It had hurt the monster a lot, so it was unable to move as it lay on the ground. Joseph walked outside, the door was still open from earlier.
He wasn't sure where he had to go to find his wife, but he had a bike. This time he decided to take the bike.
As he sat on the bike, he put the key right into the hole and turned it on. He kicked the starter a few times, the bike's headlight lit up, the engine had started. He shifted the gear as he held the clutch and started to accelerate.
He had strapped the gun to his back and brought extra ammo and reloaded before getting on the bike. He wanted to survive desperately, he hoped that his wife and son were still alive, nothing and nobody mattered to him except them in this messed up situation.
If he didn't have the night goggles with him, who knew what would have happen. As he rode across the streets, he could see some people being victim of the monsters's stampede. Many monsters saw him, but he was faster, the monsters were not able to catch up to him thus escaping their line of sight.
As he rode, he got past through the car he was in before, he could see the woman's dead body now being feasted by tiny monsters. He felt pity for her, but the damage was already done, it's not like he could revert back time.
He was now heading to his wife's mother's house, that's the only place she could be according to Joseph.
He thought,'Can't they be in some other place too?'
Why was he behaving stupidly today? Maybe because his mind was in a turmoil or perhaps due to some other reason. He didn't know.
He rode at full speed.
But suddenly he started to feel strange, he felt a bit nauseous. He saw his stomach churning. He wanted to puke.
'Agh, What I happening to me?'
He felt as if his surroundings has stopped moving , he felt as if his mind was splitting.
He crashed his bike.
*Screech*
He fell down few meters away from the bike, unfortunately he didn't wear any helmet. His night goggles fell apart.
He suddenly realised how dark this world now was.
It was dark.
He could hear things, but was not able to see them.
'Is this how a blind man sees the world?' he thought
Out of all the things he could have thought, he thought about a blind person. Out of all the things he could worry about, his life, his wife and his son, he worried about this worthless world.
Why?
He didn't know.
He felt defeated, from what he could hear, monsters possibly noticed him. He might die.
'I'm sorry Juliana, I'm sorry Mike. I'm sorry..I'm sorry....I'm sorry'
He felt the weird sensation again, as if his mind was splitting.
He was in pain.
"Argh"
He felt his stomach churning.
He wanted to squeeze his head.
He placed both of his hands on his forehead and pressured it. But it was still hurting, he felt excessive saliva in his mouth.
A slight clump of foam started to form and was it started to ooze out of his mouth.
His mind went blank.
His lost his senses. His body started to slowly faded away.
He disappeared!
