Chapter 1 - Lone Survivor

A breeze of wind passes through the door, and thunder struck once more, the door kept banging on and off with these frequent gusts of wind, snow piling up outside too. I've been doing the best I can to keep this door shut but it seems that even fortifying it with a refrigerator doesn't work, this might just be it.

Although these gusts of wind happen practically everyday, this day for some reason its worst, I got lucky since this house is somewhat tough, might have been built years prior to this horrendous event, still standing despite this relentless wind and scarily quick pile of snow, either way, I'll still be damned after this whole house is filled so I don't really think it matters that much.

Huh, It's kind of weird... Like how I feel alright, I mean Its been a few months I think, since this whole thing occur, so I guess, I got somewhat desensitized by this whole ordeal, seeing those pile of lifeless body did do me something, but... It does kind of make me sad in a way, sitting here in complete darkness as a pile of snow slowly but surely fills the whole room, as the thunder roars outside so much I can't even hear my own thoughts, and watching as the last wall that's been keeping me safe slowly break, yet... I don't feel much. I don't even know if what I feel is sadness or simply pity to myself, I think I've become a mess.

Slowly, I closed my eyes, waiting for whatever comes after, be it hell or heaven, I wouldn't even mind complete darkness.

- 1 Hour later -

I've opened my eye, it was complete darkness, although after looking down, some light shines through the window, guess I'm still alive? Although I'm a bit stuck up here, somehow I'm near the ceiling laying in a thick pile of snow, although the wind is still strong and lighting still frequent, they've became less violent than before, kind of similar from previous days. Anyway I got to somehow leave here, I started digging down with my hands, slowly but surely I'm getting near the door, thing is broken though, didn't get removed or anything but no way in hell I can open it, I kept digging for another 30 minutes or so, finally found the window but man I'm tired, hungry as hell too, luckily the window is broken so its easier to get out but I still had to dig outside, the whole town might as well be under 5 feet of snow, its tough.

Finally after some time I've managed to dug out of this hellhole, wind somewhat livable, I might say even comfortable, distant lighting never better still but it's been like this for months. Now I have no more idea what to do, all my foods were left inside, not like I was planning to live but I guess I do now? Anyway, I just kept walking and walking, after some time I found a two floor home, had to climb up a bit through the window which shouldn't be difficult but since my stomach is practically pulling me down, it made me feel like an amputated old man with no cane if that makes any sense, basically it was rough.

Finally got inside and search the whole place, first room, was some teenager's place and it has nothing much of notice, they did have a blanket which I took since the one I've used before was left in the previous house, I moved to the next room, a couples room for sure, that bed fits more than 2 people, anyway, they didn't have much either, other than a phone which doesn't really work now for some reason, but this was the latest version of that fruit brand so I kind of just felt like having one, well latest kind of means few months, I don't think any company is making anything at this point.

Lastly checked this room, I'm not really sure what to call it, a living room? Anyway, I kept wandering around, checking each and everything that can be opened, and what would you know, there's some can food here and you don't even need a can opener, got pretty lucky there but either way food now for some unknown reason, takes longer to rot, I've seen apple be in perfect condition despite being outside for months, I'm not sure what's even happening, for now I'm just gonna treat myself a little.

After eating, I was finally able to take a bit of break, during night this whole mess somewhat becomes bearable, the wind becomes more soothing and lightning rarely strikes, as if I was back to the past, I mean its only been months but it definitely felt like its been years, haven't seen anyone ever since that incident, to be honest, I don't even know what's keeping me up still, all those horrendous condition and creatures gives me creeps every night and the lack of interaction have loosen my mind a bit, I feel like anyone at this moment would rather end it all, I guess I'm a bit curious as to what this end of the world situation has to offer, I've watched and played plenty of media with the same premise but being in one is kind of boring I'm not gonna lie, rarely do I get to any trouble and often the cause of problem are food and drinks but sometimes also-

*Wild screeching noise is heard from a distant*

Ah those, yeah those thing, you hear them every night, basically during those creatures hunting time, although I rarely encounter them, when I do, I'm always quick to hide, not all were lucky though, others had to go through shit, I think at some point my lucks gonna run out but either way I'm still gonna try.
