Prologue: Last man standing…

It's been days, weeks, months… ah I can't even remember. I've been cooped up in this safe room for far too long now. Haven't slept for days, and I smell like the dead. Dry blood stains my clothes and my armor, which is dented and cracked all over. I don't know how I've managed to survive this long, the last one alive left on this hellhole, no food, no sleep, no hope, just me and my only friend here, my shot gun. I guess it's probably because I remember I have a family out there, my wife Daisy and God-forbid… my son Jack.

I can hardly think straight anymore, I think I'm losing all my sanity. And I know I've lost touch with reality days ago. I keep hearing this voice. This voice, it plays through my head like a loop. It says, "No… You can never leave me, never, you will stay forever… with me FOREVER!" And then the screams start, keeping me from sleep and alert, and ready.

I sat there on the floor of this safe room I barricaded myself into. Hugging my shotgun at every little voice. I used all the food supplies in here, no telling how much longer I'll hold up here. I've been fighting these things, these demons for far too long. But if what that one man, that evil bastard, Betruger, said was true then help should be coming, only to just die here like everyone else. Then those hellish creatures will attack Earth, where my family and billions of people live. I can't let that happen. One thing is for sure; somehow, someway I've got to get back to my family.

Suddenly things change as I hear more voices, not the usual voices, but entirely new ones, coming from outside. Then I hear something trying to get through the door. I raise my shotgun toward it, ready for whatever would come through that door. I've survived for this long, there's no way I'm going down without a fight, so as long as I'm alive, I'll never quit fighting. "Bring it on you ugly sonsofbitches." I whisper under my breath. The things on the other side begin to get through. "Come on I'm right here!" I yell out to them as the door opens and I pull the trigger and send a shell at them. Then I see this light and I hear their voices. I drop my gun and then it hits me.
