Hope of the Dying World EPILOGUE
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passed…“Where are you going, dad?”“I’ll just visit someone… it’s been a while.” He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. “Good morning, officer! You’re at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.”A white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.“Again?” He parked his car at the side of the road.“You f*cking j*rk! You’re the one who bumped into my car! Look!”“What? I’m just passing by and you’re—”“Excuse me? What is this all about?” Timotheus asked while checking the damages.“Who are you?” One of them
Hope of the Dying World PROLOGUE
[“SL News... last 2020, an epidemic has spread throughout San Lorenzo that killed almost half of the town’s population. And this disease seems to be returning and the side effects are even worse than last year. It was scattered throughout the town and everyone is expected to stay in their home to ensure your safety. Accidents are every---”]‘Cally!’ He was so nervous while running. “Dad.” He said almost lost his breath.“Where are the clothes? And why are you almost out of breath?”“We need to leave.” “What are you talking about? Your sister is not feeling well and she needs medication.”“I’ll explain when we get home. But for now, we need to leave this place!”“Trestan Joern---” His phone rang.“Dad please...” He ignored his son and lifted his hand to stop him from talking.“What!? Virus? Epidemic? What are you talking about? Fine. Fine. I’ll be there. I’ll just make sure that my children are safe before I go. Okay.” The call ended and there, he faced his son. “Let’s get out of he
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 1 - THE BEGINNING
March 05, 2022Saturday 6:00 AMSenior Police Officer II Timotheus Alfarez was nearly asleep while waiting for the end of his duty, but the station’s six o’clock alarm rang out in the whole department, and he almost fell from his swivel chair because of shock. He shook his head, stood up, got his car key, and went out of his office. Bid his goodbye to his co-police before he left the station.He drives silently while feeling the morning breeze coming from his open window. Sun rays filled the almost cloudless blue sky. The sun was hiding behind the tall mountains of San Lorenzo but at any minute, it would show up high above it. The car’s tank was approximately empty so he went to the nearby gasoline station and refilled it. The empty and quiet road of San Lorenzo was slowly replaced by the noise of engines coming from different transportations. Start of a new day for public laborers, factory workers, and for the people who’ll do stuff that matters.It took him thirty minutes before
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 2 - THE AMUSEMENT PARK
There are no classes and work on Saturday’s and Sunday’s so the Alfarez family either stays at home or goes outside to have fun and relax. Cally is playing with her dolls on their front porch. “Do you wanna play with me?” She said while holding a female doll in her right hand.“Nah! I don’t want to.” She answered her own question while holding the male doll in her left little hand.“But... But why?” She moved the female doll and acted as if she was crying.“Because you ale... hmm... you’le ugly! Yes! Ugly! Bleh!” “Wahh! Bad! Bad! I’m not ugly! I’m not ugly! I’m pletty!” She struck the female doll to the male doll and acted as if they were fighting.On the other hand, Trestan is watering their plants in front of their ‘Single-family Detached Home’ made of concrete materials with black and white paint. It faces the calm sea and the place is peaceful and quiet not until a boyish teenage girl, named Blair Gabrielle Ferran, stops riding her bike in front of Alfarez residence. “What’s
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 3 - THE HORROR HOUSE
Trestan was still holding his head. “She literally has a hard head. Tss.” He walked around without knowing where to go until he stopped by in front of the horror house. Another memory popped. ***“Dad, let’s go! I want to go inside this horror house.” Little Trestan pulled his father but Timotheus didn’t move.“I can wait here outside, son.”“But---““Baby, don’t force your dad. I can join you if you want.”“But I want daddy to come with us.” Trestan pouted.Trestan winced and shook his head while remembering how clingy he was before.“Hon---““Fine, kiddo. Whatever you want. Let’s go.”“Hon, you sure? You’ll be okay?”“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be? It’s… It’s just a horror house.” He gulped once before entering.***Trestan followed his memory until he found himself, walking alone inside the dark place with red blinking lights. “Nothing’s new. Still the horror house from years ago.”***“It’s not that scary. Right, dad?” Little Trestan asked his dad who heard him cursed a lot of tim
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 4 - THE COMMOTION
“Sweetie, please stay here, I’ll just need to do something important.” Timotheus kneeled in front of Cally, busy eating her cotton candy. “ Daddy will be back immediately. Stay and wait for me, okay?” “Whele’s Kuya?” “He’ll be here soon. Don’t go anywhere and don’t talk to strangers, understand?” She nodded. Timotheus kissed her daughter’s little forehead before he left. Cally was sitting on a wooden bench near the carousel. She’s not afraid to be alone because she knows that her father or brother will be there soon. While eating a pink cotton candy, she noticed someone behind a store nearby. The lady, wearing a uniform of the amusement park’s staff, was vomiting something red, and it looked like blood. Her body has some purple spots and looks like she’s sick. She went down on the bench and was about to walk toward the lady’s direction when someone held her shoulder. “Hi Cally!” Her classmate, Dylan Trevon Torres, called her. “Dylan!” “Oh! Is she, Cally? Your cr---“ “Mom!
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 5 - THE ASSIGNMENT
“I will put you behind the bars.” The man almost pees to his shorts and his trembling hand swiftly gets the money. He looks at the man in a black leather jacket and shows his middle finger before he leaves.The police just shook his head and returned to his car. He looked at his wristwatch and almost cursed because the meeting will probably start before he arrives at the station. Thank God! The conference was delayed and will start after five minutes.“SPO2 Alfarez, I heard some rumors or should I say a fact?” Police whispered to SPO2 Alfarez. He is the most reliable source of information in their department and he’s a good friend of Timotheus, SPO1 Arnon Mojares. “You and SPO2 Ferran will get promoted and guess what officer?” He said while moving his eyebrows up and down, as if he was trying to make fun of SPO2 Alfarez.“What?” He raised his eyebrow.“In the same ceremony. It’s exciting, right?” The police laughed. “You should treat us to a fine restaurant. Haha.”Timotheus clench
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 6 - THE INFECTED
March 15, 2022Tuesday, 8:37 PMOfficer Alfarez and Officer De Vega planned to investigate in the middle of the night where everyone is surely at home. They are wearing an all-black outfit with a mask and a black baseball cap. They’re about to enter a barn when they heard footsteps coming from afar. Hiding behind a cart, listening to every move from the other person around.“I need to talk to that bullsh*t farmer. Who does he think he is? Reporting this to the authority? I thought you handled it right? You’re useless!” The guy said with irritation in his voice. Alfarez and De Vega peeked from the small holes in the cart. The other guy didn’t say anything but from the looks of it, he doesn’t feel well. “Hey! Are you okay? Talk!” The irritated guy panicked.“I-I can’t b-breath.”“Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! H-Hold on! I’ll just get the car and i-immediately send you to the hospital.” The guy said and ran away. When he’s not on the site, Alfarez and De Vega move closer to the poor guy who is h
