Hello everyone!
This is the first fan fiction that I have actually written down, so any reviews (positive or negative) would be appreciated. But please, no flames, harassment, spam, or stupidity.
These stories were written for school, as a weekly "vocabulary story", in which the requirements were to write a story that was at least half a page long, containing eight vocabulary words, and the time allowed was usually about 3-5 days. This explains why most of the chapters are short, but they increase in length as the story progresses. They also get better, but that is my opinion. Because this was written for school, I try to keep the violence and swearing down to a minimum.
Enjoy!

Chapter 1
Subtle Hints
It was a relatively boring day. It was partly cloudy, average temperature, usual day. Nothing auspicious had happened to Bill, but then again, nothing bad had happened to him either. In his book, that counted as a good day, since usually his luck was pretty bad. It was now 4:00 in the afternoon, and he was headed back to his house after leaving his job, in which there was rumors of a schism forming. He thought that these rumors might be true, especially since he was convinced his austere boss was biased against him. He walked in the door, closed it, slid all three locks into place and then investigated the rest of the house. After he concluded that there was no sign of any force entry, and nothing moving apart from him and his dog, he turned on the news and apathetically watched the headlines briefly. Nothing interesting was shown, only arguments on whether dogs and cats were sentient life forms or not. It seemed a part of humanism was to show useless stuff or to create fear in other people. He picked a book from his anthology, and turned the radio to a news anchor that had a huge stigma for not being affable. He only half listened to the news, until he heard "apparently cannibals have invaded our state! Investigators found a house with half of the inhabitants lying dead, missing various parts of their bodies, more people with beatings all over their bodies, and one person with several bite marks on him. The later was found unconscious and soon died before the paramedics arrived. Almost everyone had bites on them, which the CSI team found was caused by other humans. I have heard a lot of crazy stories before, but this one was-" Bill shut off the radio and turned on the TV, which provided him no further information. Bill went to sleep and the next day, he checked his weapons and bought supplies from the Home Depot.
A/N= I mentioned that Bill had a dog in this chapter, but after this chapter I decided that there was no logical way for Bill to give the dog to somebody else, and that the dog would serve little purpose in the story other than getting killed, so I took it out. I also hope that I didn't make the foreshadowing too obvious.
