Apocalypse

Samuel hears a bloodcurling scream somewhere in the far distance.

Chills slowly creep up his spine. And he shudders upon the thought of what the victim might had experienced.

Getting a hold of himself, he turns around and finds his little sister huddled in the corner, sobbing muffled by the toy rabbit clutched tightly in her arms.

Samuel beckons to her and they gingerly make their way round the block.

"Bang!" A gun shot. Followed by a bone-chilling scream. This time, it was closer. Way closer.

He hears a shriek, much like a banshee's and quickly pulls his sister close to him, pressing the petrified girl onto his chest to muffle out the cacophony of noises around them.

"I'll protect you... I'll definitely protect you..." He whispers.

The gruesome memory of this morning replays in his head.

Him opening to door to face his parents lying in a pool of crimson, hollowed eyes staring right back at him.

The inspiration for this was very weird. It stemmed from a terrorist prevention talk we had in school like earlier this month.
