The Ashes Sky

"Just another day of work," I muttered to myself as I entered the tall white building. The building is owned by the company Cyndago, who devote themselves to researching new science breakthroughs for the better of the human race. It is about 20 stories tall and has hundreds of offices that workers slave away on who knows what. I've only been working here for a month doing bookwork and running pointless errands. I dream of the day that my name tag labelled "Matt' will turn into a sewn patch on a stainless white lab coat that is comparable to a cloud, hanging up next to many others that belong to other researchers in the lab. As I enter, people are running around, up and down stairs, from one room to the other screaming about something. I see my roommate and fellow employee, Ryan, running down some stairs towards me. We are about the same age and build but I'm not as 'round' as him even though I'm shorter than him. "Matt! I've been looking all around for you," Ryan wheezed as he tried to catch his breath, brushing his dark brown hair out of his eyes, back into his comb over. I look at him with a quizzical look, "What's going on Ryan? Has something in the lab gone wrong?" "I don't know, but something has happened, and it's bad. It will be easier if I just show you," Ryan says frantically as he grabs my arm and pretty much drags me like a poacher drags his reward away. We race up the stairs as fast as a current going through an electrical wire. As we reach the top I see what everyone was panicking about, a 25-metre-tall metallic tower that looks like a radio antenna has emerged from the 1st floor and scales through the glass roof. Ryan and I see our CEO, Daniel Kyre, talking to a man with a dark shirt holding what looks like to be a Colt 1911. I see someone who looks a lot like Ryan laying on the roof clutching his foot, while sitting in a small pool of blood. "We have to go help Daniel!" I say as I look over at Ryan with what I presume is a frightened look on my face. Ryan nodded in my direction as we started to run towards the stairwell that leads to the roof.
By the time Ryan and I have reached the top of the roof I see the mysterious man lying on the ground, and I hear "Nice try mate, but I'll have the last laugh," come from Daniel as he laughs devilishly. Suddenly, the tower above me lets out a blinding light and screeching sound.
