EDIT-Yeeeahh...I just realized I should make a different comment
thread...else it'll make this thread too piled up.
Each post of mine will contain only ONE chapter.
Please ignore it if I post continuously more than 3 times.
And remember. I'm a lazy bum. Don't expect continuous updates
to the story.
So..yeah.Remember to comment and help me improve :))

Chapter 0 (Intro)
Into the Future
2nd October,2026. 8:19 PM. Helena,USA
Present Day
"Xez" Event
We had surrounded them. Or that is what it seemed.
2 MetaDrones. And between them stood the UltraDrone. Their
leader.
They were in the position we wanted them to be. Trapped from all
sides.
All my memories raced passed me. Both happy and sad ones. All
the people who sacrificed themselves. The promises I made. I
promised to kill them. Now the time had come to fulfill those
promises.
Suddenly the UltraDrone gave out a huge sound.
It then began to charge up it's huge laser.
"I don't get it! We Destroyed the reactor machinery! The laser
shouldn't work!"
"What're ya doin'?!! Use the shock wave to keep it under control
now!"
"It's not working anymore!!"
"Reactor power has almost reached full potential!"
"Abandon this building! Everyone out of here now!"
I couldn't move. My heart skipped a beat.
I didn't understand the situation. I had disabled it. How can
the UltraDrone be able to use it?
The Drone was about to fire the laser.It aimed at the exact
location of the building I was at.
I felt as if time had stopped. I had no time to act.
It was now that I realized.
This is my end.

Chapter-1 The beginning of the end
13th August,2024. 7:14 PM. Jackson,USA.
Past
About 2 years before "Xez" event
The rain intensified.A thunderstorm seemed most likely to
occur.This would be the 4th thunderstorm in this week. Something
that does not happen often.
My name is Jake. At that particular time I was watching a
programme on our TV with my Dad.My Mom died when I was about 5
years old. My Dad wouldn't tell me the reason why she died.I
think it's mostly because it brings back horrible memories to
his mind.So,I don't ask about it.
"This rain is really getting annoying,"said my Dad."Mostly I
like it. But these days it's just too much."
"Tell me about it. I'm very much fed up too,"I said.
Both of us were sitting on the couch,as usual,watching TV. I
said 'as usual' because with the rain being so intense,it is not
possible to go outside.So mostly we end up watching TV,or some
other boring stuff.
Yeah,I know.You must probably be thinking,'Hey! It's 2024!We
must have some cool things to do by now!'. Well, the truth
is,humans haven't developed much even after all these
years.We're kind of as we were in 2012 or 2013.I will say that
cities and town are developing,but I won't say the development
is satisfactory.One main reason for the slow development was
mainly because of World War III. I don't have much idea of what
happened to my family then, as I was just a child back then. One
of the major things that's happened is that petroleum has run
out. We knew this was going to happen. But it happened a bit too
fast. We humans were unprepared. Cars are now run on
electricity. Every single one of them.
And you might also be thinking,"It's just a bit of rain.You can
at least go out with an umbrella or something." We can't. In
2019,petroleum was almost at it's end. Scientists discovered
some sort of new material, Dezirilium. It was supposed to
increase the quantity of petroleum by doing something with the
molecules or something.I don't know completely. But something
went wrong with the Dezirilium. It released some sort of
poisonous smoke. This somehow got mixed with the clouds, by
turning into some sort of acid. Now whenever it rains, the acid
gets mixed with the raindrops. The raindrops would simply burn
them.Severely. They would die eventually. It would also burn
through other substances like umbrellas,etc. So, no one uses
them anymore.
Another example of how something made for our benefit can
ultimately lead to our downfall.
The rain seemed calmer. I was surprised because after all these
days of thunderstorms and heavy rainfalls, I almost got used to
this kind of weather.We might not be experiencing any more
thunderstorms this week.
My Dad noticed this too.He got up from the couch.
"I'm gonna go and get us some more food from the store. We're
almost out," he said.
"Sure. Can I come too?" I said.
"No.You stay here."
"Oh come on Dad! I want to go out!"
"Sorry son. Uh...I'll get you a candy bar?"
"Dad...seriously."
"Well,your loss. I'll be back."
He picked up his jacket and went out. He closed the door behind
him.
At least I thought he did.
With my Dad off to the store, I felt even more lonely.
After 6 minutes or so, the rain got intense again.Very intense.
I actually began to worry about my Dad. But I knew my Dad very
well. He must've taken shelter somewhere.
I don't know what happened in the next 15 minutes or so. I felt
drowsy. My head felt heavy. I almost felt like I couldn't
breathe.
This is how it started.
After 16-17 minutes, everything went back to normal. I was still
confused.
The lightning and thunder came back.
I looked out of the window. I could barely see anything in the
darkness.
Then came the surprise of something I had never seen in my
entire life.
Red lightning.
With no thunder.
I was shocked. What the hell is this? RED lightning?
What the hell was happpening?
This continued for a few seconds. Red lightning strikes
repeatedly went on for some seconds.
I counted the number of strikes as it went by.
One....two....three....four....five....six
And then there was a huge lightning strike. It lit up the entire
room in red. It was accompanied by a loud wailing sound. Very
loud.
"Seven.." I said.
By now I was scared. I knew something was wrong. Terribly wrong.
At that very moment, the lights went out. It was a black out.
My assumption that something was wrong got reinforced. Now I was
sure that something was wrong.
I got up and and somehow managed to go through the house and
find a candle and a matchbox. I found them on a table near the
couch.
I lit the candle and placed it on the table.
I had no clue what was happening. Red lightning? And what was
that huge wailing sound? I had no idea.
I just hoped that my Dad was alright.
I waited..for more than an hour. My brain still couldn't
completely process what was happening. The only thing I could do
was wait. Now I started really worrying about my Dad. I hoped he
was alright.
Suddenly I heard footsteps. I was delighted as I knew it was my
Dad. He was safe!
Then the footsteps changed into fast, heavy steps,as if someone
was running.
I caustiously went up to the front door. I was almost near it.
The doors flew open. I stumbled back and fell on the floor.
I looked at the person who was standing there.
Using the dim light of the candle on the table, I saw his face.
No...let me correct that.
I saw it's face.
No eyes...and in it's place,blood trickling down it's cheeks.
It's lips were covered in blood.
It almost looked like a Zombie.
I was shocked. I was frightened...No words can describe that
moment.
I let out a scream.
The "Zombie",upon hearing the scream, let out a huge wail of
it's own.
It then jumped on top of me and started choking me.
I couldn't breathe. I tried to fight back. But it was just too
strong.
I tried to punch it.
But I just felt like I had no energy left. This thing was
choking me.
I gathered all my strength and managed to hit it hard in the
face.
It flinched and fell to the floor.
I knew this was my chance.
Catching my breath, I tried to get to the kitchen.
One word came to my mind- Knife.
I needed to kill...whatever it was.
I stumbled across the room.
I caught a glimpse of a knife on the kitchen counter.
I needed to get to it.
Suddenly the Zombie caught my foot.
It immobilised me again.
It came up and started choking me again.
It was now enraged after I hit it, and started choking me even
harder.
I started to lose my focus. Everything started becoming blurry.
I then blacked out.
The last words I heard before I did so was a familiar voice
saying-
"Oh no you don't!"
Perhaps the last words I'll ever hear again.

Just a quick update-
I was writing the 3rd chapter, but problems came in the form of
school and henceforth my exams =(
So, progress is really slow.Even if it's half way finished.
Just letting you guys know that this thread is NOT dead, it's
one of my dreams to complete this story which I'll not give up.
I'm not even sure of anyone has even read the ^ posts till now
