Somewhere
A tired and grizzled looking Alex looks into a camera as he seems like he hadn't slept in a long time as he rubs his neck and sighs as he tries to think of words but nothing comes to him as he eventually looks into the camera and says
Alex: It's been...six years since, since it all happened. The Convergence as everyone calls it. I thought that would be bad enough to have to deal with but...we didn't even have a chance to catch our breath when they came...whatever the hell they are... they're all big and mean and nasty and deadly. Aside from artificial light and sunlight, everywhere in the world is shrouded in darkness. These damn things...these nightmares there just unhinged raw monsters...they feed on us…the more they eat and kill the smarter they seem to become. We've got one we call the Collector... he seems to be the one coordinating the Nightmares efforts.
Alex sighs and lights a cigarette as he takes a drag and blows the smoke into the camera.
Alex: I don't even know why I'm talking to this. I haven't gotten a transmission from anyone in a few weeks now. Last I heard Kami and Blayde had made some headway in London. Hazel went silent with Charles but communication is hard to come by since those fucking zealots started exerting themselves all over. If they're not fighting the Nightmares then they're fucking us over. Fucking assholes. They cause all of this and then go around taking the credit for when we mop it up… no point in getting upset about it I guess.
Alex takes another long drag.
Alex: I miss you man. I know it felt like I did alot of using you back in the old days but I genuinely...I genuinely gave a shit. I wonder...I wonder a lot about what I may have done differently...what would have been different if I didn't call you on that day….drag you out of bed...was that how it was always going to happen? Vade always tells us that you're going to be back and I think for a while there we all believed...wellx maybe not Ray...she was...she was pretty upset man. So just a heads up. Valencia she's still going strong. Last I heard she and Kelsey and Ray were out kicking ass and helping some new friends they won't share with any of us. Ray said she knew them from the tower assault so no idea but I'm sure you have more insight then I do.
Alex feels a tremble as he looks about before waiting as he hears a loud screech pass by and the sound of approaching gunfire.
Alex: Hear that...all day all night...well, all night for sure haha I don't even know what it would be now. Tobias...if you come back...if you're…if you're anywhere man... please...please we need you to come back…
Alex stands as he turns and goes to a window as he scans the camera about as he shows the landscape as the world was still shrouded in darkness as we see nothing but creatures and men fighting from all over as a screeching beast flies past the window as a Dragon Rider and a Gunship follow pursuit.
Alex: I don't know how much longer we are going to be able to hold out...I've got another few weeks here before I'm supposed to meet up with Vade and figure out my next move but...I just...I just don't know...Where are you man?! Where are you!?
Alex drops the camera as the loud screech flies by the window again and Alex screams in anger as he kicks the camera away and can be heard angrily sobbing before the camera feed cuts out.
Coming soon: Book Two- The Nightmare War.
