Strange Energy

My name is Mia Larason. I'm 27 years old and work for an organization that helps the needy. When I found this job, I couldn't help but be happy that I could help the helpless in one way or another because I came from a humble background. But things changed from day one of the job. Well, you could say that the leaders of the company were a bit too greedy. 

So as you expect, they take a large percentage of the donation money for their personal use. The remaining amount is barely enough to conduct our daily runs. Providing food, clothes, and other necessities was our work as ordinary workers in the company.

Currently, I am on my daily run but my workmate said something that made me back out a bit.

"I feel some strange energy around us," he said

His name is Leo or that's what he prefers to be called. I immediately stopped helping out a beggar only to see some red particles shining around his legs. I also had these strange particles on me but mine was yellow.

"Leo this isn't a prank right?" 

"Mia I swear this time it isn't me. . . wait look even the beggar behind you has it!"

He wasn't lying. I looked around to see that everyone else had these weird particles. Suddenly I felt tired and sleepy, and my legs stopped working. That was the last moment I remembered from that point.

*Somewhere else*

The environment was quiet, and only two people were seen at the top of a skyscraper. One was in a black suit and the other in a white one.

"So I dealt with the northern hemisphere and you dealt with the southern hemisphere." The black-suited guy said.

"Yeah, finally I could conduct this experiment, Thank you for your help." The white-suited guy said.

"No problem just remember this name . . . *** *******"

The black-suited guy immediately teleported out of there after that statement.

The white-suited guy just stood there overthinking about the name he was told. Then he dismissed the thought, looked at the city landscape before him, and could only grin at what was about to transpire.

"An expirement? Screw that! This is a human extinction event!Hahahahha!" The guy laughed like a madman

* Back to Mia *

I could hear screams. I could hear guns blazing. Yet to regain my full vision I could tell that something bad was happening. When I got to see clearly, Leo or any of my workmates weren't around me. But that wasn't the main matter, in view, I could see the city, Andra City, demolished and engulfed in flames. 

What's happening??!??!

First thing first. Run from the danger at all cost and that's what I did. Mustering all the strength I could get to a safe distance. But as I was running I could see other people running in the same direction as me which gave me hope that I wasn't alone.

After getting to a considerable distance, I took my phone to check if I could any cell service but my hopes were burnt to a crisp when I saw zero bars. As I was trying to get some service by the traditional methods, I got one bar and some notifications. There were three voicemails; From Mom, Leo, and my best friend Nicole.

[ Voicemail 1 by contact "Leo that bastard" is after the tone. . . Brrrrrh Hey Mia I know that I abandoned you but I want to say this is my last word. *Coughs* Right now I got caught in the aftermath of the explosion* Coughs* That's why the city is in flames. Mia, there are people *buzzing sounds* they are * buzz * they will kill you * buzz * run away *Coughs *. . . End of voicemail ]

I could only tremble from that voicemail. Leo is dead and I never got the chance to kiss him. . . but now I can't do anything about it. Next voicemail, Brila

[ Next Voicemail. . . Voicemail 2 by contact "My only parent and mommy" is after the tone. . . Brrrrrh Mia, this is important. If you get this voicemail I want to tell you that I'm currently dead because . . . ]

Brilla pause the voicemail. Brilla next voicemail please.

[ Brilla understands that the user is undergoing feelings of despair and sadness. . . Next Voicemail . . . Voicemail 3 by contact "Bestie Nicky "is after the tone . . . Brrrrrh Mia please if you get this voicemail I just tell you that I survived whatever transpired but I'm currently at Andra Desert and I think I'm about to die from the heat . . . ]

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhnnnn! "I got angry while tears were flowing down separate ways.

No family, no boy to rely on, no bestie to hang out with.

I immediately fall to my knees on the sidewalk. Others who were still taking a break eyed me and felt pity for me but they couldn't help me because everyone was on their own. Well, they say, " Every man for their own but God for us all!". I could remember that clearly from my high school days.

But before I could cry some more, I heard a roar from the city. People were coming this way but not in fear. . . they were wielding machetes, guns, and other weapons. This gave me the cue to run as fast as possible but I got shot in my right leg which made to drop down. I saw the others being shot in the head which made me go into my second phase of survival.

Act dead, feel dead, look dead and you are assumed dead even by the smartest of people

The guys who had the weapons came to see who they got.

"Oh damn, I shot a leg shot on a beautiful lady." a guy said sadly

"Why do you care, rookie? We are here to kill and not mate. Mating comes later when we have the upper hand." another guy said

These guys seemed to be under leadership to cause chaos. Hopefully, the order will be restored in no time!

"Oh yeah, did you say that the police and the army are held at bay?" another lackey muttered.

The police and the army are held at bay. What in the world is happening???

"Anyways that's not in our care right now. Pile up the bodies we need to make way for the stolen vehicles."
