"He

Let me. . . Bzzt. . . Star

No, no. . . The line's not. . .

(Crackling sounds. . . More buzzing. . .)

Hello, hello. I repeat. Is there anyone listening? Anyone? Hello?

Well, it's fine, I guess. I mean I'm not sure what has happened. But, uh. . . At least I get access to a radio station! Yay. . . That's an improvement. . . (sigh). . . I guess.

So, you see. . . Here's a thing; the kids are really freaking out just now. And no, we're not heavily injured but you might say that we. . . We kinda experience something crazy last night. And not to mention, the sky's suddenly becoming weird. A red sky is totally not normal. I can't figure out if there was some kind of a nuclear energy spill or something, or was it a sudden heavy pollution that, of course. . . seemed impossible.

I guess I should start all the way from the beginning; well, it's summer. That's obvious, of course. . . Well, no, it's not gonna be obvious anymore cause I don't know. . . Earth is changing?

Anyway, put that asides. Um, the kids and I. . . The kids; um. . . three of 'em Kagami, Aomine and Kise. Yeah, the boys. They're rowdy (small laugh). So, I brought them hiking starting from earlier Monday, you know, as an alternative exercise other than basketball. Everything went fine, and even when we woken up to see a dead hiker right beside me, we were totally fine.

At first.

Until we met with the mutts. You know, I never expect this safe trail to have um, angry dogs. But I suspect that some hikers must've brought their dogs seven of 'em and boy, was it crazy. See, the odd thing was that some of these dogs weren't even those gigantic, wolfish ones. Not the German Sherperd or Great Dane. . . Yeah, they do have about two of Newfoundland species; one was brown and the other had a nice black coat. . . But these dogs, I knew, they weren't trained to be extremely aggressive. The change in behaviours of animals was quite a shocking; see, even the chihuahua attempted to rip of my boys' legs if I haven't had the chance to actually pull them away.

They just suddenly. . . Attacked. No warning, no. . . It's like even the tamest dogs, became so beast-like and they lose their minds and they just started attacking. All of 'em.

(Sigh) I just. . . I don't wanna let the kids see those kind of violent stuffs. You see, well, I've got to hit them with this wrapped up tent coming from the dead hiker's bag, and I had to. . . Well, I tried not to kill them but throwing three of 'em off the cliff wouldn't really guarantee their lives. And then, and then. . . The rest just suddenly started to suffocate. I have no idea why, but they became so limp. Even when they were still being savage, a few minutes left, they all stopped moving.

I. . . (crackling). . . Fu. . . (buzzing sounds). . .

I'm. . . I'm sorry.

But y'know, I just hope this weird stuffs would eventually end.

We're all terrified.

We'll make it to the bottom, we're making our way to the city. I hope there are still some people. . . alive.

If anyone's listening, then well; try your best to stay alive. Who knows? Maybe we're the only ones living.

Alexandra Garcia, out."

The recording stopped, and silence followed through.
