End

. Lauren tucked her head out the fire escape and motioned for me to come back inside. I did as I was told.
Lauren threw her arms around my neck kissed me. I was surprised at first, but after a second, I found myself returning the kiss. We parted, a smile on our faces, I told her I would be right back. I leapt down the fire escape, moving quietly through the streets of The Sprawl.
I found a convince store. Loading up a trash bag with food and water, I mad my way back to the apartment as fats as I could. My mind was still spinning a little from the kiss. I poked my head over the ledge to the apartment and gasped.
A Necromorph was tearing onto Lauren’s dead body. Blood stained its blades. It raised its head and roared. Immediately, a bat like creature flew into the room. It went over to Lauren’s still body and shoved a proboscis into her forehead, splattering brain and skull. A second later, Lauren began to twist and shake, he limbs twisting. She roared, her mouth growing rows of razor sharp teeth.
Lauren was a Necromorph.
I dropped the bag and ran. I ran as far as I could, dodging Necromorph after Necromorph.
That’s how I got here, in the electronics store, making this recorded message. That’s how it all happened. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out here. I also don’t know how all of this began. I was just an innocent civilian, caught up in some horrific invasion.
I’m also certain I won’t live to find out how this ends.
All of my friends, gone. All of my family, gone. My whole world, gone. If you’re watching this, then you probably know more than I do.
I have to stop. I hear something.

The End.
