Jean was walking home on a dark street in a lonely section of town. She always left the 7-11 where she worked feeling depressed and drained. The roads and alleys that led home were so familiar now that she didnt even look as she picked her way through the garbage that littered the streets. Was this going to be how she spent the rest of her life?

The voice whispered all around him. It was hushed, but at that same moment it consumed him. It whispered into his ears and, at the same time into his very soul. It probed him as if for ages, every word hanging on into eternity with every rasping breath. The exhales cut him deep as though artic winds would consume him completely. The harsh chill of her gripping symphony of voices would surely drive him mad he thought. He lay clutching at his head, desperate for relief, desperate for silence. Then the voice was gone.

苦痛を止めて下さい！　　　

“初めまして。。。“

The girl lay there on her knees in a ever growing pool of blood. The dark red circle spread out underneath her like an ominous shadow obscuring the floor beneath her. She lay there whimpering, crying, and struggling to catch her breath in that horrible puddle into which her very life was pouring. Her tears fell from her face as if a black ink ran from her very eyes; every single drop bringing that dark pool closer and closer to his feet. He stood there entranced, fixated on the dark figure before him, hunched over in agony.

Night had fallen hours ago. An unnatural darkness now crowding the city streets where once there were streetlights and store fronts there was now only that eerie darkness. Like death casting its shroud over the streets. It was just one more reminder for the survivors that their days were numbered. At least during the daylight they could pretend, at least then they could see what was coming for them.

He isn’t sure how it came to this. How he came to be in this place at this moment. All he knew was that he was nervous, shaking. He couldn’t concentrate. Too much was going on all around him. Lights, screams, roaring engines, everything was a distraction. Everything was keeping him from remembering what he was supposed to do.

My Grandfather’s Porsche - Chapter One

There was a hole here once.

Now the absence of that familiar thing was throwing off his sense of direction. He used to wander the same yard for days at a time when he was a child. Now that familiarity had passed. Towering oaks had withered and died and branches that once seemed impossibly out of reach seemed to bend to meet him as he walked down the dusty field road that led from his grandfather’s old house to the old barn. How many summers had he spent there helping him fix the old farm equipment?
