  “I still can’t believe the electricity and the computers are still on,” Mike wondered. “ I know it’s weird,”Denny said.”Well we still have to enjoy the distractions while they are still available,”Jim explained. “These are better orders at least,”Mike agreed.Finally something to agree upon with top officials. Mike started to notice they were starting to run out of food. They were starting to ration until it was absolutely necessary to go out. Even then it was a danger zone outside.They all were not eating as much. That wasn’t the main problem, which was what to do when they run out. Denny started to notice that more birds were starting to test the screen on the porch. There were a few holes in it already. They started building boxes and other stuff in front of the sliding door and the fireplace. They figured those were the two main areas were animals could infiltrate if they were going to try to get in. They had an organized plan in case it got chaotic.They also started noticing more flashes of light across the sky. It was more often in the last three days. They figured they would either find out what that was soon or be killed by them. “ I’m still not killing animals unless they harm me first,”Mike said.”I’ll kill anything that enters the place,”Jim said.”It’s us or them now,”he continued.”If that’s the case then you can defend us if any animals come in,” Mike clearly stated.”I’ll be behind you I guess,”Denny backed up his brother.”I could go either way to survive but I’m with Mike,”Stephen said.” Now that that is settled let us figure out what to do about food,”Mike replied.” I say we take a chance and go out there and find some food,”Mike commanded.”We won’t need to do it for a couple of days, but we have to do something.””We also take any weapons with us in case we need them,”Jim said.” I agree,”Denny replied. The four were ready for the chance to survive this dilemma that now was defense instead of offensive orders. They still wondered about the lights...

  January12,2013 Washington D.C. Pentagon bunker 11:00 A.M.

  The president was done sobbing about the situation and all the wrong decisions he may or may not have made. His staff was running around the bunker trying to gather supplies.They were forty feet under the surface and the bunker was 6,000 square feet in size.It was a good size bunker for emergencies like this. They got messages from all over the world that people were on survival mode. They were digging in and protecting themselves.There were many people not accounted for. The 50 million people was an estimate earlier so they were wondering if there might be more. At this point it didn’t matter, it was everyone for themselves except for those working in groups.Most people were in their homes digging in and trying to survive. There were some in garages,malls,barns,shelters,or any building they could find. Most the buildings were infested with animals or the animals were roaming around outside.

  January 13,2013Earths skies and orbit 2:00 P.M.

  Any rogue planes or any planes in the skies were vaporized by the wandering lights within a matter of seconds. Earth’s satellites were registering this until they too were being vaporized. There was no explanation by the satellites or any people as far as what was happening.

  The satellites in orbit around the Earth were one by one being vaporized by lights. The satellites had no defense and if they did it wouldn’t matter. The satellites didn’t have a chance to register where the lights were coming from. They were destroyed before they could acknowledge it. It took four hours before all the satellites were vaporized.

  Giant beams of light started vaporizing and disintegrating all electrical companies around the world. Giant explosions were happening around the world at these locations.Some plants were taken out by the animals outside and then finished up by the lights. The animals were unharmed.The electrical plants around the world were vanquished in a day.

  January 14,2013 Washington D.C.Pentagon bunker 4:00P.M.

  “Well, it was a matter of time before this would happen,”the president said with worry in his voice. Candles were already lit and spread around the bunker.The staff could hear rumbling from explosions around the area. There were twenty people that were related staff in the bunker with the president. They were lucky it was still daytime. It would last for a few more hours in their time zone.

  January 14,2013 Crystal Lake Illinois Mike’s Condo 5:00P.M.

  It was dark now and the foursome had many candles lit to take on this new chapter in this catastrophe. “I knew this would happen eventually,”Mike murmured. They had plenty of blankets to keep warm and plenty of distractions to keep them occupied.Mike broke out the board games and they had pleasant conversation to keep them busy.They put real logs on the gas fireplace and lit them. They heard more knocks against the porch screen from more birds. Jim wanted to go out and shoot them but he saved the ammo for emergencies. The weather was unseasonably warm with highs in the 50’s and lows in the 30’s. They weren’t struggling too much to keep warm. Denny dozed off first around 8 P.M. Jim was next about 9P.M. They were tired from just shear aggravation,fear,worry, and working to survive. Mike and Stephen stayed up later talking about their college days and all the fond memories. They laughed a bit quieter so as not to wake the others but it was hard. They had some good times and great memories that kept them occupied until 11:00P.M. Then they both crashed.They hadn’t done that in ages and it helped them in the situation they were in now.They slept through the night with no incident...

  Chapter 8

  Animals Retaliate and Overrun

  January 15,2013 Crystal Lake, IL. Mike’s Condo 8:00 A.M.

  The foursome was now out of food. “Let’s check next door or with the other neighbors and see if they have extra food,” Mike said.”Even if we have to break in” “Are you sure you want to do that?”asked Stephen.”Yes,”Mike replied. I don’t care about human laws or humans right now except you guys and that’s it!’he exclaimed.”Besides most of them are probably doing the same thing or they are not home or they are dead.” “Let’s go,”Jim yelled.Only Mike and Stephen went to find food. Jim and Denny stayed in the condo and built up their defenses more. They went out into the hallway no animals.The building was relatively safe. They knocked on the condo next door no answer. They knocked again no answer.Mike had a crowbar and a hammer with him. Stephen brought the gun. Mike tried to pry the door open with the crowbar.It worked after he worked on it for two minutes. He was determined to survive.They went into the neighbors’ condo. No one was there. “Im not too crazy about this,”Stephen said.”I don’t care,”Mike replied. “These girls that live here are never home””They aren’t very friendly.””I don’t even know their names,that’s how friendly they are.””They complain a lot and are stuck up.””Well,if we get out of this situation we are in the wrong,”Stephen said.”I will say it again I could give a shit right now!”Mike was yelling at this point.”This is surviving.””Our morals don’t apply now””Let’s find some food.” They went to the kitchen of this condo. They found some soup cans,bread,cereal,and various other shelf foods.They were very lucky to find some food.They took all they could and went back to Mike’s condo. Mike stormed through the door,”We have food!” They took it to the kitchen and stored it properly. Mike estimated that they had enough for a few days for four people. Mike didn’t want to stop there.He asked the group if it was wise to go to the other condos in search of food.They agreed with him that it was acceptable.

  This time Denny and Mike went into the condo across the hall. They knocked first to see if anyone was home. No one answered.The person that lives here was nicer than the other people in the condo next door.This was according to Mike.”Lin lives here,”Mike said. “She doesn’t seem to be here,”Mike continued. They knocked again.Again,no answer.Mike tried the crowbar on this door. He got in after about five minutes.They cautiously strolled to the kitchen.They were walking slowly this time. They heard some rustling. They were thankful it was light out so they could see better. They got to the kitchen to see Lin there on the floor dead from something. They didn’t know
what it was that killed her. They went through the kitchen and found more food of all kinds. They took all they could and ran back to Mike’s condo.They decided to look at Lin later to see what killed her. They got back to Mike’s condo and stored the food.They all estimated that they had enough food for a week now.

  Mike went back to Lin’s condo and investigated Lin’s death. He brought with him the gun and bug spray. He had his suspicions. When he got their he heard more rustling. He started touching Lin with his cold gloved hand. Everything was still.He kept prodding her not knowing what to expect. Then she started moving from inside. A few spiders started crawling out of her mouth. Mike inferred that she died from these spiders suffocating her.They were regular house spiders about as big as a large button. He was right. There weren’t that many he thought. According to other reports from around the world this was a small number. He was more curious than afraid. He estimated that there were 50 spiders and they were not any kind that were poisonous. He went against what he said earlier and stomped on them killing all of them. Ho took 15 minutes to do this and then he went into his condo. He didn’t want the spiders to suffocate him, so that was his rationale to kill them. He told the others and they weren’t concerned that much at all. They ate and continued to try to keep distracted from their dilemma.There were still people trying to get outside and they were attacked by any animals in the area. It was still the same outside with very little change.The fires were burning across the horizon there were more lights across the sky, and they were inside surviving. It seemed that they were the only ones in the complex now but they weren’t sure.Stephen started gazing out Mike’s bedroom window after they ate and didn’t know what to expect from all this...

  January 20,2013 Buenos Aires, Argentina 10:00 A.M

  The streets of the city were somewhat barren of people.In a city that is down from fifteen million people down to fifteen thousand it was sad.There were a few stragglers but most of the streets were crowded with different kinds of animals. The streets were cluttered with animals large and small. The small animals were anything from insects,spiders,and scorpions to mice and monkeys. The larger animals were boars crocodiles or caimans,llamas,horses,boas, and deer. Paco was looking out his window of a second story apartment complex.He was grabbed to get out of sight from his Mom.She was very cautious to not have anything happen to him.The family was huddled in the middle of the room just wondering their fate. Many lights and animals crowded everywhere in the city. The lights were mostly confined to the buildings. The animals were mostly in the open areas and the streets.Any people that ventured into the streets in crowded areas either got killed by the animals or vaporized by the lights.It seemed that the lights to Paco were not all vaporizing people in the buildings. Most people were getting vaporized you could tell by the steam and smoke left behind. The other people that didn’t get vaporized met the lights and vanished. Paco only saw it rarely because his Mom kept pushing him away from the window. The family prayed and waited until the lights caught up to them or they got killed by mice or insects.They got vaporized by lights in seconds.The buildings were unharmed.This type of activity was happening all over the city. Every inch of the city was covered in this manner. There wasn’t a trace of people after a day or two. It depended on how big the city was. The smaller towns had the same fate in the country of Argentina. It took the animals and lights less time to conquer the small towns.All the people could do in the whole country is hide survive and pray. There were so many animals...

  January 21,2013 London England 12:00P.M.

  In a city that used to have eleven million people there were ten thousand people left.The Queen was in a survival bunker 10 feet under the surface of the parking lot of the Parliament building.She could see light coming in from outside. She decided to peek outside from her perch on a ladder next to the window. All she saw were millions of different animals cluttering the lot and she saw lights in the sky in the background.There weren’t any insects because it was too cold just birds and mammals. They were all over the city and she could see the lights on the horizon as far as the city stretched. She could hear other windows being busted by animals on the grounds.She heard screaming and yelling from the other staff members in the building. Whether it was in their room or other rooms it didn’t matter. They were all hiding and surviving the best they could and waiting for their fate. There were some staff members in corners praying and just hanging out. Other people were eating and rationing.The Queen kept peeking at the devastation and the multitudes of animals on the lawn. It was awesome as it was terrifying. She’d never seen so many animals gathered in one place at one time. It was the same all over the city. The animals were on the streets and in most open areas. It seemed like the lights were converging on the buildings. The Queen couldn’t see that clearly with some fog in the way.The closer buildings looked to her that the lights were vaporizing things in the buildings. She was still not getting a good view of that but it still terrified her.She was thinking to herself all the people that died in her country at one time or another. She was wondering what was going to happen to them.Other staff members were crying and acting hysterically. “This doesn’t help,”the Queen ordered.”We have to stick together and stay calm,”She continued.”Just keep surviving people,”she yelled across the room. Then one of their windows busted open.They had some boards on some of them but that didn’t help. Many deer were kicking the windows and boards to pieces. Some horses were helping with the breaking of windows also.The staff started shooting off their guns and throwing things at the windows.Only mice rats, small birds, and mammals were getting through the crevices that were created by the deer and horses.There were millions of them entering through the windows.Their numbers seemed endless to the survivors.The survivors were running away from the animals that were entering the building.They were overtaken within minutes.They were either choked to death or eaten alive by the animals.Any people from the Parliament building that escaped outside in any way were vaporized by the lights in the sky. The animals kept moving into the smaller communities and did the same thing. The lights were vaporizing most people in the buildings. The millions of animals in the streets kept moving on. When they got done with one town or city they moved on to the next.There were multitudes of animals on the move through the country of England...

  January 22,2013 HongKong China 11:00A.M.

  The city was quiet with no lights on for the first time in history.Being an island the city was swarming with birds and insects. There were multiple lights coming from the sky but none in the city proper. In this city the temperature doesn’t fluctuate too much.So it’s temperate to tropical year round.

  The most densely populated city on the planet and people were hiding in the buildings trying to survive.There used to be ten million people in this city.Now there were only five thousand people left in this city that has been devastated by animals and warring with those animals. Animals all over the place especially in the streets. There were some people brave enough to venture outside but they were just attacked by animals. The insects killed most of the people that went outside. The people were somewhat helpless unless they had enough food to survive. That was the case with some people.

  The lights from the sky started to converge on the people in the buildings.The lights started to vaporize anyone in sight. They even got to the ones hidden also.It was like the lights could sense human beings and vaporize them without any trouble. It was happening all over the city.It almost looked like a parade of animals. The whole city was rid of humans within a day.The animals just roamed over the city while the lights moved onto the mainland. The mainland it seemed, was next.There were already animals in the cities on the mainland of China.The lights moved quickly and wasted no time. The animals were overrunning towns and cities in the country with keen precision.The animals kept going...

  January 23,2013 North California Coastal cities and towns U.S.A. 10:00A.M.

  On the Northern California coast there are many towns and cities with populatio
ns small and large up and down the coast. There were fires all over the place from wars between the animals and the humans. There were people hiding in the buildings in the large and small towns. There were people also hiding in their cabins and houses that were in the wilderness. There were those crazy people that were going outside and facing the animals and getting killed. There were those that were wiser and hiding and surviving in their shelters.

  Eureka California was one the towns on the coast.It was bigger than most coastal towns. There were more animals in this town. They were on the streets in the buildings, and in the open areas of the town. At this time of year Eureka is a town with a temperate climate. On this day the temperature was a mild 60 degrees and sunny. Outside there were any animals that lived nearby. The animals ranged from bears and moose to small insects like termites. Since Eureka was close to the coast there were billions of birds also. Since the populations all over the world were diminished Eureka had about 200 people left in a town that used to have 30,000 people in it. Some people were looking out their windows if they could. Most people were hidden.

  Then the lights came. They started to infiltrate all the buildings. People in the buildings started to flee.The buildings were in tact the people were gone. The animals got to them or the lights vaporized them as they fled. Either way all the people eventually died from one way or another. Up and down the California coast one town at a time the lights finished the job that the animals couldn’t finish. One town at a time started being rid of people by the animals or the lights in the sky. The animals stayed in the towns as the rulers.The fires across the California coast from the battles could be seen on the horizon...

  January 24,2013 South Africa Coastal cities and towns 9:00A.M.

  Cape Town was barren with people and loaded with animals walking the streets.The animals ranged from large mammals to tiny insects.The population of people were hiding in buildings and homes. The animals were everywhere. The insects of all kinds were infiltrating the buildings and houses. People hiding in the houses were dying from suffocation or just being eaten alive. Strange lights were covering the outside areas. Any people that wondered out in the streets trying to escape the insects in the buildings got vaporized outside by the lights. It was a war zone and the humans were losing. There were a few people that escaped to the water just to be met by sharks and dolphins.When it was over which took about three days there was no person in sight. All the buildings were empty of their human inhabitants. The animals were hanging around or on the move depending on the species.
