Until Such Time as the World Ends…

The world was panic and chaos and pain. Darkness was pressing in on all sides, lit up by artillery and cracks of red through the trees. A dark form was dashing through the trees, almost invisible. He tried to call out but his voice was swallowed in the din.

Gun shots. Yells. More shooting.

A strike of lightning erupted from the sky and for a moment the world was on fire. There was a rush of red to his left. Someone screamed. Fighting to move, he found only frozen metal clamping down on his limbs. There was a voice in his ear. It came out garbled and soft. It did nothing to quell the absolute, blinding fear building in his chest. There was another scream. Feminine… definitely.

"What the hell is happening?" the voice finally broke through into his murky brain. A single demand, expected to be answered. But he had nothing to offer.

Another burst of lightning. Another scream- no a roar. A monster! He could hear it through the trees, getting closer and closer.

Yells. They sounded agonizing. Someone was screaming. She wouldn't stop. Just endless screaming, stealing the words away from his ears.

The words down and critical and where is he we need to leave now where the fuck is he reached him.

For some reason "language" bounced around in his brain for a few seconds before pain pushed it away. Damn it hurt! His head was beating and his leg was on fire and he just wanted to get up!

Another scream.

Yelling.

Gun shots.

Lightning.

Red.

Nothing.
