Standing at the very top of a building was a man who was clothed in rags, with hair and beard looking unkempt. As the wind blew against him dusty particles blew along with it.He stood high up, gazing down at the street down. Body parts, corpses, debris from buildings, and mindless zombies were all littered around.His eyes dimmed as he watched the zombies move around aimlessly, making various noises.His eyes caught a friend of his that was turned into a zombie and immediately, tears rolled down his cheek."How did it all come down to this?""How did I, Ash Heartfield, manage to become the sole survivor of humanity? The last man standing, in this accursed world," he wailed."My parents, my little brother, even my friends... I had to watch all of them die one after the other,""Even those foster parents of mine that later turned out to be the murderers of my parents, they died too,""Although they deserved their deaths for the way they treated me, I had to watch them all die in front

Ash walked out of the warehouse with his cell phone in his hand.He had taken a couple of steps before he dialed a number on it.The phone rang several times but there was no answer, Ash tried it again but still nothing. He got furious and nearly smashed his phone on the ground but gained composure quickly."I told him to keep me informed at all times, but now he's not answering his phone. I can't be wasting my time here if he's not answering."Arggh, I hate incompetence," he grunted out with an annoyed look on his face.Ash closed his eyes slowly as he gave off a long sigh into the air.‘I should find a way to contact my younger brother. Keeping him close before and after the apocalypse, would be helpful.’‘But my foster parents said I had nothing to do with him.’ he gazed off into the sky while still thinking.‘I don't know why they are preventing me from meeting him. Could they be up to something?’Just as he was lost in thought, several trucks arrived at the warehouse. "Greetings

“When facing an opponent up front, you have to be on high alert,”“They could be weak or strong, but you don't want to take that chance,” a slim but well-built man wearing a faded lemon top with ash trousers stood in front of Ash.He looked like he was giving him a combat lesson, seeing as they both stood in a boxing ring.“Oh, so um... Ramsey?” Feeling lost, Ash tried to ask a question but was cut short.“You have to immediately assume your best defensive stance,” the man continued.“You never know what might happen next, so you have to be prepared,”Ash immediately thought of a scene from his past as he saw Gram standing before him.He brought both of his fists towards his chin as slightly moved back.Immediately, Gram thrust his knife toward Ash, aiming for his chest.“When a person comes at you with, let's say a punch, or maybe even a knife or sword, you must be sharp enough to see it coming and immediately evade it,”“When I say evade, I don't mean fully dodge the attack, it's im

'Is this real? Is the person I'm seeing before my eyes, really?'Ash kept questioning his thoughts as he sat in the next seat close to his younger brother at the dinner table.The young boy laughed, smiled, and spoke softly in front of John and Mary Greyhart. Unlike Ash, his hair was short and well-combed to his side. He was a bit lanky as well but in terms of facial beauty, Ash won the competition.Both his iris and pupil were both black but a bit different in terms of darkness.They all sat together at the dinner table as they had their dinner. 'Why did they bring him over to this place? We are not supposed to meet until later after the apocalypse.'"Umm..." Ash interrupted their discussion."What made you change your mind?" He asked."Well, we figured since you won't talk to us, or you're probably angry we refused you to see your brother, that it would be nice to surprise you with a visit from him," John answered after sipping off his glass of wine."Shouldn't you be happy he's h

"Come this way ma'am," a soldier ordered Mary Greyhart, who had been checked by security to step into the elevator, along with her husband, John.They were inside the company building Ash's father owned.The building had a few cracks on the wall and debris on the ground, all from the previous quakes that had happened."Please be careful with her, we just got separated from our boys, so she's having it rough," John explained as he pleased with the security man to go easy on her."I understand sir, more assistance will arrive in the day to get look for them," the soldier assured and then walked away.As soon as she got into the elevator, it closed, and immediately started taking them to the top floor."Let's just hope Kover can locate his brother and stay close to him," John breathed out after seeing his wife lean on the wall of the elevator."I'm not worried about them," she whispered loud enough for him to hear."Look at the city, look how destroyed it is," she pointed out through the
