I woke up in a city, no, not a city, a town. I looked up and saw a something floating in front of me. It looked to be of a diamond shape, and it kept on rotating at the center.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am a ghost," the floating object said, "well now I'm your ghost."
"Where am I?"
"You are on the edge of the European Dead Zone. We need to get out of here this is Fallen territory."
"What are the Fallen?"
"I will explain later, but for now we need to find you a weapon."
I saw a church behind a crumbling wall and headed towards it. As I rushed towards the church I realized that instead of flesh and bone, I was made of metal and wiring. I was not human; I was some sort of robot. I decided to ask the Ghost what I was, but I needed to get out of here. When I got to the church I noticed it was abandoned, In fact the whole town was abandoned, and ruined. There were rusted cars everywhere, and there were human skeletons everywhere. A massacre happened in this town, but what caused it?
At that moment I heard a roar.
"The Fallen, they found us!" said the Ghost, "Find a weapon NOW!"
I searched around the church and found an old assault rifle next to a human skeleton, it looked Russian. I pushed a pew over and used it as cover. I saw a shadow near the entrance of the church; it was tall and looked like it had four arms.
"Steady" I thought.
The shadow moved closer.
"Steady"
A barrel of a weapon came into view.
"Steady"
In that moment, I saw The Fallen for the first time, and it wouldn't be my last.
