Authors notes: hi apex here just wanting to let you lot know that this is my first story so I apologise for any issues that may be in this but any criticism is appreciated so anyway lets get this prolong started.
The dying of the light
So you may be wondering how the world fell into chaos because of a supposedly quarantined place called harran well let me tell you after all we may just be the only ones left alive at this point.
Walking into the kitchen of a 4 bedroom house in the north of England is a young man (17 years old ) who is approximately 6ft 5 in height with a athletic build who like many people at 8:00am is currently making himself breakfast after turning on the radio on his windows phone.
"good morning Britain and welcome to radio 1 your number one source of entertainment we will be playing your top picks from the music chart after these announcements over to you Linda"
Radio announcer Linda " thank you Kerry now in the current news is the failure of the GRE in the containment of the rabis strain that had spread throughout Harran after the terrorist attacks that lead to the destruction of multiple quarantine walls along with the deliberate infection of members of the organisation that seems to be the terrorists way of spreading the infection throughout the world , know it has been confirmed that there are multiple casualty reports from multiple countries and entire continuants with the whole of Africa going dark along with multiple countries in Asia such as Japan and china having also gone dark, we are also gaining reports of there being rioting and even mass shoot outs in parts of Europe and sections of America such a Florida and Washington having vigilant groups forming in order to prepare for the worst situation"
(phone rings) " hello year ive heard, yes dad im fine news say its nor reached Britain yet , on sec let me put you on speaker"
Dad " just be extremely careful son , the virus has likely already reached us because of the stupid open border policy the eu has "
" I know dad but ill be fine its not like the north of England has anything important about it and I will be careful stop worrying dad "
Dad " apex son listen to me this is no time to be joking about I want you to go upstairs and get your grand fathers service pistol and keep it on you"
The know named man apex chokes on part of his beacon sandwich " cough, cough , WHAT dad its not like I can risk getting caught carrying an illegal fire arm, especially if its a military grade glock 18 , I mean sure it would be acceptable if you where but got the documents to carry a fire arm on you since you military but still "
" son I known that but the RAF just shot down a passenger plane that had be over ran by infected hell there sending my squad along with a escort of armoured vehicles to the crash site to make sure non of them monsters are walking away from there , which is why I need you to go to your uncle davids place and hold up there till I tell you its safe"
Apex " fine ill go but you better not be pulling another drill again bye" phone disconnects
Quickly putting the remains of his breakfast away apex quickly heads up stairs towards his dads bed room which after entering looks neatly orgonised with the bed in the centre of the room with two bedside tables at each end and a closet built into the wall opposite of the bed
Apex " ok so just got to find that pistol and get to a safe place ehh this days going downhill quickly now wheres that, there you are" reaching into the drawers apex pulled out a ornamental wooden box which when opened contained a glock 18 and 3 magazines , quickly closing the box apex headed to his own bedroom which is was a large contrast to his fathers.
With the a king sized bed being to the direct left with two katanas on the wall along with the certificates for iaido next to them and a group photo the right of the swords with a group of guys stood in a fighting gym wearing ufc shirts and shorts.
Quickly shaking off the nostalgia apex swung open the wardrobe that was located in the wall to the righ of the room and quickly pulled out items of clothing which consisted of a woodland dpm trousers and a urban camo shirt along with a pair of hard knuckle gloves , some black steel capped combat boots along with a destiny hunter hoodie and a black lower face cover that he left on his neck
" and to top it off the bag and the id patch" the bag being a similer green to the hoodie and the id patch not realy being a patch but is actually a due rag with a red winged fox on it that apex had tied around his left arm
Apex then proceeded to , in lighter terms ransack his bedroom putting his xbox one , one of his swords and a hand full of games and clothing along with the glock and its box in the courier bag before heading towards his houses door
" well lets see what your going to throw at me today world"
