I woke up to find myself lying on a pile of soft, imported towels.The bright lights made my eyes ache. I quickly realized that I was in the home textiles section of Costgo Wholesale.My girlfriend, Helena Cohen, sat beside me, her face full of concern."Carl, you're awake! How are you feeling?"Damien Farley, her childhood friend, stood nearby with his arms crossed, looking haughtily at me."You're awake. Good. Now stop acting like such a damsel in distress."I pushed myself up into a sitting position, my limbs still weak and limp. "Did you put something in my milk?" I asked Helena.She averted her gaze, unable to meet my eyes."I did it for your own good, Carl. The official shelters are packed. You'd just die if you went there," she said. "Isn't it great here? There are plenty of supplies and so much space to roam around too."Damien snorted coldly and walked over to us. "Stop wasting your breath on him, Lena. He's just a nerd. What does he know about surviving the apocalyps

The supposed tragedy just now propelled Damien's authority to its peak as everyone began to view him as their savior.Emboldened, he grew increasingly arrogant and started imposing even harsher rules. For instance, he mandated that everyone surrender their personal belongings to him—ostensibly to prevent anyone from hiding dangerous items.Those who resisted were locked inside a windowless walk-in freezer.Two people had already been confined there for a full day and night for the "offense" of hiding their lighters, and by the time they were let out, they'd nearly frozen to death.People were furious, yet no one dared to speak up.Meanwhile, Helena had become Damien's most devoted follower. She carried a notebook with her, going from person to person, recording their details and the items they handed over.When she reached me, she asked in a perfunctory, bureaucratic tone, "Carl Sawyer. Where are your personal belongings?"I found the situation almost amusing as I took in the un

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

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

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
