"I can feel the cold hand approaching ever so closer, the shadows are taunting me..I walk to them, hoping that it is only a dream... Only to be devoured by the darkness... My screams cannot be heard, nor can they be felt...
My name is Chris Telefadin... And this, is the story of Corruption..
The shadows or commonly known as Darkidans came to our planet on my 17th birthday... Just after we've said our good-byes to family, a dark shadow passes over the ground and I stare up to see a barrage of some sort of black object falling from the sky... A purple aura surrounds them.. One lands right beside me and when my family goes to observe, I can see tendrils appear out of the thing and stab my parents through.. It pulls them inside of it and they looked as if they were absorbed.
When I began running, I head to the one place I know I could seek shelter in.. The nearby military fort, when I get there I can see that there is no one there, no living soul infront of the line to get in except two soldiers, I walk up to them and ask, "Where.. Is everyone?" They look at me with a sad expression mixed with surprise, "They're either at their homes, being scared or dead... We have a few people inside, I suggest you get in before they begin to come here..."
I walk inside to see a bunch of activity from soldiers, yet a ring of people praying. I walk over and see that they're actually civilians, praying for safety. I don't join them, due to my non-belief in God. I know we're going to die whether it's soon or never.
About 2 weeks or so later, I was given a gun, seeing as the only one close to sanity... The living conditions were terrible. We were given a single small cot. The food was either terrible, stale, or completely dried up. Everyone else slowly began to disappear with mysterious creaks at the night and screams echoing from the distance. The gun I was given wasn't reliable at all, made with the scraps of destroyed jeeps. We begin an expedition into the town to scourge for liquids and foods... I know were all going to die because of this, whether or not it's from debris... Or them.
The expedition began 2 hours after I was given a gun. The resistance was strangely small, we only saw a few two-legged shadow things. They appeared to be blind, running around in spot and only running to us when shots have been fired. That, or they're insane. We eventually came across a super-market which had a few looters inside, we easily took care of them. We managed to return with enough edible items to last for a month. We also managed to find some fruit, which we past around and let everyone take a bite of. We conserved some of the fruit for those people who risked their lives to go on the mission.
I am writing today to hope for someone to find this when they begin to travel to this area. Don't dig underground. You'll find a dreadful sight, and.. Something that I will not write about as it restricts me. The shadows have invade, they're lurking. Screams echo inside my head, "Kill.. Destroy.." I am turning into one of them.
(P.S.) I did this on Trivaeum about 3 or so months ago with no direct feedback. I hope that you will tell me where to improve and such.
