Chapter Text
On April the 1st, 2019, the earth was destroyed in a cataclysmic event. Billions of people were wiped out in a matter of minutes. Ironically, the six survivors of the apocalypse were the very siblings who brought it on.

It was just a normal February day for Elliot. It was just the beginning of the new year, 1960, and he was trying to make a living by selling some TVs. When a bright blue light came through the window above the alley out back. He pushed past his customers to see what it was. When he looked out the window he saw an oddly dressed man shouting to the sky. “Five! Diego! Allison!” The oddly dressed man was looking around, saying something he couldn’t make out from where he was looking. The man was freaking out, when he started making two fists. Inside of the fist this pale blue light came out. The man was startled, but got excited anyway and tightened his fist. The blue light got bigger until the man disappeared into it. Elliot was so shocked and excited he forgot he had people in his store.
“We are just going to go now.” said the customers from before.
Elliot was still in shock he didn’t notice them leave and he didn’t even care because his theories are correct.
“They are real.” He whispered.
Then he started to gather equipment and gear to set out to try to find more information and he didn’t care how long the wait would be.
The next energy surge didn’t come until 1961. It was night and he was starting to lose hope. When the blue light came back and dropped an African American woman with a bandage over her throat. He took a picture before she started walking down the street toward Stadtler’s Restaurant. Now he knows there are two, he knows there has to be more.
The energy surge that came after was in 1962. This time a huge man landed on a garbage bin. The huge man started calling out the same names as the first person did. “Diego! Five! Allison!” The man really wants to find a woman by the name Allison. Every time he yells Allison, the storm outside keeps getting worse and worse. When he stopped saying her name and the storm was over. Elliot assumes the huge man doesn’t notice the change in weather but Elliot does and has a lot to think about.
The second to last energy surge happened Sept 1, 1963. A man dressed in all black lands gracefully on the ground. The man looked up at the sky, then the scream came. The man took a knife out of his garment and aimed, then he threw the knife swiftly toward the sound. Something happened which caused the man to look confused and concerned, Elliot couldn’t see what. A few days later Elliot read in the paper, that the man got locked up in the loonie hospital because of a disturbance.
“How interesting” he thought.
The last arrival of one of the energy surges happened over a month after the previous one. It was a small woman in all white. She just went walking in the middle of the road aimlessly and got hit by an oncoming car. As soon as the car hit her she went down and the front of the car got totally crushed.
Then on Nov 15, 1963 a school child that Elliot just saw in the alley was banging on his door, claiming he was selling encyclopedias for his youth group. When Elliot was trying to close the door in the child’s face, a tentacle came out of the boy and stopped the door. As soon as the child was inside the tentacle retreated back inside his body. The boy seemed as startled by the tentacle as he was. The boy began to walk around Elliot’s place, he grabbed a cup of coffee and stood in front of Elliot’s evidence board. Now Elliot knows very little besides that he’s in for a bumpy ride.
