The red sky unimaginably opened the door of change to reality. Humanity's end ca not from existential pains but from the hands of creatures it could not defeat. Humanity, which had always managed to survive at the gates of history and even withstood natural disasters, had finally perished at the hands of drought, virus, and mutation.
No one knew why neither drought nor virus nor mutation existed. So people would classically say that zombies or mutations were developed by scientists. Still other, rs said that this was illogical and that scientists were not gods, after all, why would the sky be coloured red?
Yet in just a short ti most of humanity had been wiped out, nothing was in its place any more, and every thread and linearity was simply swept away in the existentiality of extinction. Many religions arose and many non-existent things began to be worshipped. Brutality filled the eyes of people who seed to have returned to the cave age, and everything simply disappeared.
And with that, only these words remained in the mouths of the survivors:
"The red sky ca into being and everything disappeared. You realised the universe and saw the apocalypse with your own eyes. That's exactly how you died."

This person was lying on the ground, one arm was severed, he had a hunting knife in his leg and his nose was bleeding profusely.
This person's na was Light, and Light had been left for dead almost 20 minutes earlier. He was an ordinary young man, about 1.85 tres tall, about 60 kilos, with black hair and black eyes.
He was 20 years old and he was quite ordinary, there was nothing really interesting about him apart from the fact that he was rich, maybe his intelligence was a little bit at the forefront. It would not be wrong to say that he was one of the people you would et in your daily life outside.
Before all this started, he was going to university and trying to get his degree for his future 9-5 job in his family's company. Imdiately after the events started, he went back to his apartnt in the complex and started shaking with fear as any human being would do.
Luckily, he was often out hunting with his so-called friends, so he had enough food in his house for almost 120 days, so it didn't hurt to be prepared. So when the apocalypse ca upon him, he waited, shivering and trembling, at least in his house, where he thought he would be safe.
On television, it was constantly being said that the army would intervene in this event and people were warned not to go out. Light, of course, like every good citizen, wanted to act according to the situation analysis given by the state, and as a result, he thought it would be best to stay at ho.
He locked his door very well and even put his huge armchair in front of the door to ensure that there was no interference from outside.
Not knowing how long this extraordinary state of affairs would last made his slightly clever brain shine, he tried to provide as much food and snacks as he could, since his resources were not very limited but still not huge.
It was unlikely that he wouldn't succeed, after all, Light had been incredibly organised since he was a child, who would have thought that this trait would help him at a ti like this?
Nevertheless, all this organisation, security and so on had suddenly collapsed. The cries for help coming from the front of the apartnt block stimulated Light's brain in a gigantic way.
He had been constantly lectured by his parents to help those in need, which played a big role in his growing up as a very helpful person who did not expect anything in return for his help.
But neither he nor his parents realised that this would be his undoing.
Light had never been so sad that the only plus in his life was that he was getting rich. Indeed, he had never cursed his weakness so much in his life.
Nevertheless, despite all this, he realised that everything was late and unlocked his door by pulling his huge armchair in front of the door after only fifteen seconds.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people standing in front of him. Two n and a woman were standing covered in blood. The tears flowing from the woman's eyes seed to show how hard she was going through.
The buzzing and strange distorted human voices coming from the lower floors of the apartnt building made Light's heart beat with fear, which made him invite the three people he saw in front of him to his house.
When the trio entered, they introduced themselves. The oldest mber of the group was nad Percy and was 41 years old, the second oldest mber of the group was nad Liam and was 34 years old, the only female mber and the youngest mber of the group was nad Karen and was 25 years old.
Each mber of the group thanked Light profoundly for saving them, and Light, in his good humour and because he was so frightened that he was about to faint, said that there was no need to thank him.
However, Light offered the group food, water, new clothes, and even hot water for bathing. It was then that he made the biggest mistake he could have made because Light showed the group with his own hands what a great source of supplies he was, and even though he had a hunting knife from the place he was putting his knives at ho.
The fact that he did not distrust people made him think that he would not be hard. Of course, this caused the door of his mistake to be officially broken open.
It was quite normal for Light, who occasionally went hunting with his friends, to have a hunting kit in his house, every weapon, including magnum-style pistols, was in his house with a licence. The fact that the group realised this gave them even more reason to kill Light.
Although it had been almost 6 months since the beginning of the apocalypse, the cruelty of the people had co to light and the fact that there was nothing to stop them at the basic level began to tell them that they could do anything they could do.
In short, Light's death would be quite cruel, but in the eyes of the group, it would exist as part of his weakness and stupidity.

Waking up late at night, Light found that he was unable to move, and although he opened and closed his eyes, he noticed that there was no change in colour.
His arms and legs were completely bound and a very thick piece of cloth was wrapped around his eyes. His mouth was sealed with duct tape and there was nothing left for him to interact with.
Suddenly, the piece of fabric in his eyes was opened and he saw the group in front of him. Unable to believe his eyes, his face beca incredibly painful, but knowing that there was nothing he could do made everything even more stupid.
It was obvious that he would die if he didn't do sothing, but what could he do? There was nothing he could do. Nevertheless, he chose to struggle and tried to get rid of the rope that had tied him, but it was futile, seriously, the rope was wrapped so tightly that there was no movent in the rope even in the 20 seconds he struggled.
Suddenly a punch landed on his face and his nose started to bleed before he even realised what was happening, he realised that there was blood on the tip of Liam's fist and thus, although his mouth was closed, he started to moan in pain.
Just after that moan, he felt sothing stab his right leg. With the shock in his body, he could not manage to shout officially and looked at his leg with the heat he felt in his whole leg. Right above his knee was his hunting knife.
Seeing this image opened the door to a sudden shout, and in this way, one of the duct tapes in his mouth ca out. Now his voice began to co out a little clearer.
Just then Light saw a huge knife in Percy's hand. He knew very well that this knife did not belong to him and the blood stains on this knife seed to show him that the knife had been used a short ti ago. He had screwed up badly and was beginning to look as if he realised that his life would soon be over.
"You shouldn't have let us in, you idiot." When Percy uttered these words, Light tried to move his body out of fear and at that very mont his head was pressed against the floor by Liam. At that very mont, the huge knife landed on Light's left arm and Light began to scream as violently as possible:
"HUMMMMMAAMGG!!!"
The fact that his mouth was still sealed with duct tape suppressed his voice incredibly, but it still ca out incredibly loud. He didn't even dare look at his arm and at that mont the duct tape was removed from his mouth by Karen.
"WHY DID YOU BETRAY !?!?"
With those words, Percy's knife, along with Light's severed arm, was laid out in front of his eyes with his blood glued to the blade as if it were glue. At that very mont, Percy laughed in a very sly and ugly way and then loaded the bag full of Light's food stock on his back with the following words:
"Why shouldn't we do it, chump, when we can kill a fool like you and take everything you've got?"
Imdiately after these words, the trio left the apartnt and only Light was left in the apartnt. Everything in the flat was disorganised, there were snack packs, boxes of ready als, empty cans of drinks and many clothes on the floor. And then there was Light himself, whose blood had spread all over the living room and his skin had turned white.
"Damn it...." Light suddenly thought. His thoughts were neither violent nor stupid. He was cursing his stupidity and thinking about how his family's teachings had caused him to lose his life. He really couldn't believe that he had ended up like this.
He had many dreams. When he finished university, he was planning to use his family's money in detail for the first ti in his life and he seriously wanted to travel the world, right after that he was planning to start his job in the company and maybe he was planning to fall in love.
It was really stupid that he was fading away like this in the pri of his life. On top of that, it was even more stupid that he was dying like this in a world full of the walking dead.
"I wish I....had....one....more....chance...." Light said from outside and his eyes closed with the pain his aching arm gave him. It was all over.
