Chapter 6

Author: Thirteen Stories
The sudden darkness caught everybody off guard. It was as though the only sound left in the entire world was our breathing.

"What's going on?" Damien exclaimed, his voice trembling.

Walter panicked too. "It's the generator! The generator stopped!"

"How could it stop? Wasn't it filled up with fuel?"

"I don't know, Mr. Farley! Maybe… Maybe it's a wiring issue…"

I smiled widely in the pitch-black darkness, saying, "It's not a wiring issue. I'm the one who turned it off."

    The image on the huge screen froze, capturing the chaotic wreckage inside Costgo. Then, the surveillance feed switched to another view.I saw Earth on the screen next. It was a beautiful, azure-blue planet. But right next to it was a massive, burning meteorite with a long, fiery tail trailing behind it, hurtling toward the planet in an arc, resembling the scythe of the Grim Reaper.The moment of impact was utterly silent.The blue speck on the screen representing Earth was instantly swallowed by a blinding, searing white light. Then, the white light faded, and absolutely nothing remained.G-07's voice sounded once more."Mr. Sawyer, we are set to meet up with the main fleet in 30 minutes and enter hyperdrive mode. You may experience a slight increase in gravity.""Understood," I said with a nod.He paused, then added, "Our scans indicate that the slot you requested for your companion has gone unused. As per our protocol, you may exchange this slot for an upgrade to higher-tier l

    There was a huge pure-white space inside the Ark. It was bright and spacious, with a distinctly futuristic feel.A staff member in a white uniform approached me."Welcome aboard, Mr. Sawyer. I am G-07, your guide for this voyage. How may I assist you?""Show me a monitor displaying what's happening outside," I said."Certainly. Please, follow me."G-07 led me to a lounge cabin where a clear image showing the scene inside Costgo was instantly projected onto the wall.Ark No. 7, the so-called "metal spider", was now slowly backing out of the building through the huge hole in the wall that was torn open when it first entered. Now, that hole was also the only way out of the building, but it was too high up for the crowd below to ever reach.The people inside the building descended into total madness, screaming and pleading desperately as they rushed toward the closing gateway of hope.Some attempted to form a human ladder, but it quickly collapsed amidst the trampling and panic.D

    I stepped onto the ramp, and it carried me smoothly toward the opening in the metal spider's torso.Just before entering, I paused and turned around to address the crowd below me. Their faces were still filled with terror and bewilderment."Surprised?"My voice wasn't loud, yet it carried clearly to everyone's ears in the silence of the place."This isn't an alien invasion. This is just an…apocalyptic screening."I held up the badge in my hand."The so-called '3iAtlas'—what you've been calling a UFO—is actually known as the 'Ark Project'. It hasn't come to destroy Earth. It's here to save a select few."The world's top scientists foresaw this day a decade ago. An unavoidable meteor will strike the planet in a matter of minutes, which is why they secretly built the Ark to preserve human civilization."Those official government shelters weren't built to hide from aliens. They were boarding points for the Ark. Only those who have made significant contributions to human civilizatio

    The grotesque face lingered at the opening in the roof of the building for a few seconds before pulling back. The next instant, a deafening crash erupted as an enormous hole was violently torn through one entire wall of the supermarket.Cold air surged inside, thick with dust. Then, a massive figure slowly squeezed its way through the opening.Its body resembled a colossal, metallic spider, with eight long legs supporting a rounded torso. Whatever we'd seen on the roof earlier was merely a sensor attached to its head.The moment it entered, the crowd descended into madness. People screamed, scrambling toward the exits on the far side, their survival instincts overpowering their fear.However, all the doors had been locked on Damien's orders.They were now trapped like rats in an overcrowded cage, desperately throwing their weight against the doors, wailing in despair.Damien, his parents, and Helena's parents collapsed to the floor, paralyzed by the sight. They couldn't even craw

Though I couldn't see them, I could feel their terrified gazes on me."You? How did you turn it off?""Costgo's backup generator has a remote emergency shut-off switch," I replied casually. "It's located behind the ventilation duct in this cold storage room. And I just happened to press it."Damien's breathing grew rapid and shallow. "What on earth are you trying to do, Carl?""Nothing in particular," I said, my voice cutting through the darkness with startling clarity. "

    I made myself quite comfortable in the cold storage unit.I grabbed a goose-down coat on the way in here. I wrapped myself up in it and leaned against a cardboard box, feeling a bit sleepy.Outside the door, the sounds of Damien's furious shouting and the other people arguing drifted in intermittently.My words had clearly hit the mark, and Damien's "reign" was beginning to crumble.About three or four hours later, the door to the cold storage unit opened. It was Helena. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she carried a tray with some bread and water on it."Carl…"She set the items on the floor, her voice choking with emotion. "Why did you do it?"I opened my eyes and looked at her. "Which part are you referring to?""All of it!" she exclaimed. "You lied to everyone and threw everyone into a panic!""Didn't Damien lie to you all first?" I retorted."Damien… He did it for everyone's own good!" she countered.I sneered. "You're saying that as if 'doing it for everyone's good' justi
