The Darkest Hour       

[Emergency Power at 0%!]

 

[Please plug in the power chord!]

 

Ren stood in the dimly lit room, his confusion deepening with each passing moment.

 

This was unprecedented; he had never experienced a blackout in Zone A, not even in his past life.

 

Something felt off, terribly off. The darkness seemed to swallow everything whole, casting an eerie stillness over the surroundings. It was as if time itself had come to a standstill.

 

"What's going on?" Ren pondered aloud, his voice barely above a whisper in the silence that enveloped him.

 

He moved towards the window and drew back the curtain, hoping to glean some insight into what was happening.

 

As he peered through the window, Ren's breath caught in his throat, his eyes widening in shock at the sight from his apartment.
