    Summary

    You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening.

    The sun was gone.

    Everywhere, in every state, city, country. Not only that, but people were making up all kinds of excuses for why it was missing. Yet, with each hour that passed, it kept worsening. People began looting in major cities, creating mobs to rush important buildings or block off busy roads. You, living close to a semi-large city, could hear the sounds from afar; until those sounds turned to screaming, yelling, running. There were things out there. Things that wanted to hurt you. People that wanted to hurt you.

    Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom?

    Summary

    Hiraeth: The feeling of homesickness for a home you can never return to, or never existed.

    You were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. You weren't supposed to see a figure hunched over a body, picking away at the corpse. No matter how hard you try, you cannot get that soulless blue mask out of your mind. With its head turned towards you, it only held its boney finger to its mask in a hushed manner before it ran off. You knew you had to keep quiet, but was it really the right choice?

     

    Please read the first chapter and the tags carefully before continuing.

    Summary

    You watch them suggest names and argue with each other as you stand there dutifully like a newly-adopted dog. Rus sidles up close to you and looms over you like a hanging specter. His smile does not look friendly.

    “How about..Snowy,” He suggests, his grin widening at the twitching grimace on your face.

    How to survive a blizzard and nonconsensual teleportation to a dilapidated sci-fi basement.
