Day 7: End of my world

I woke up the next day with the question he had asked me the night before... Is the light really bad? Should I believe what my dead Gammy said? What is going on? Is the rest of my life going to be living in a graveyard with a guy who refuses to tell his name? I looked over and saw that he was still asleep... I slowly got up without waking him and made my way to my Gammy's grave... I sat in front of it and had a rush of emotions. I began to cry... "I am so confused in this world Gammy I can't take it anymore. WHEN WILL THIS END!?!?!" Am I destined to live in this cemetery forever?" As I continued staring at the tombstone I became enraged "Gammy why didn't you help me out more, I need advice, what do I do now?" Just then the ginger came up behind me and simply said "it will get better, put yourself together we can survive this!" I looked at him and saw a glow in his eyes and as I got up I smiled... we made some breakfast and did our usual routine of playing cards. Once we played games of spit for a couple of rounds he looked at me and said "I think our lives are over, there is nothing we can do, that thing will stand out there until it gets us." I looked at him and began to think back to when I first read the blog... "Dude this is weird, but I just thought of something I read on a blog online, it basically said the light was only able to suck up peoples positive emotions and leave us in a depressive state of being" He looked at me and asked "Ok? What does that have to do with our situation?" I looked at him and said "Think about it the light chased us into a graveyard the resting place of the remains after our souls are taken." He gave me a weird look "what are you getting at here?" he asked. "WE ARE AS OF NOW INCARCERATED in a depressive panic mode in a graveyard... aka the light has in a way sucked up our positive emotions, so we are technically in the set of mind that that stupid light is suppose to put us in" He remained silence for a few seconds and then softly said "We lost, it has us right where it wants us... no positive emotions. Is only a matter of time until we end up like Edward dead on the ground with a knife in our hand... It is toying with us!" We blankly stared at each other for about 5 seconds and then decided we needed to do something. "Do you think giving into it is a way to break free? or should we just follow Edwards step and go into limbo?" I looked at him "I don't know what we can do...I just wish it was all over, btw what is limbo?" Just then I looked at where the light was positioned and thought to myself how life would be without any emotions...and climbed right of that cloud... I cant live like a zombie WTF am I thinking...It was then that I looked out to the light in the setting sun and had to squint my eyes, I could not believe what I saw the way the sun hit the light it revealed its true form.... Gammy? few seconds later it communicated with me "Limbo is a place for lost and neglected souls.Welcome to Limbo Leo.

Day 6: Death by materials

Waking up the next day was not quite easy, I was still in shock from what happened last night. I then noticed I was almost out of food and would probably would have to go in search for more soon. I looked outside my window to see if the other 2 had awoken before me, but what I saw was the ginger pacing back and forth freaking out as he stared down to the bearded guy covered in blood...I stormed out of the car as quickly as I could, nearly falling flat on my face. When I got there I asked the ginger "WHAT HAPPENED!??! WHO DID THIS TO HIM!?!?" He looked at me in shock and said "HE DID IT TO HIMSELF, LOOK AT HIS HAND!" As I stared down at the immobilized body I saw in its left hand a dagger. "Why would he do this to himself?" I quickly asked and he responded after he gathered his mind saying "Last night before we went to sleep he said that he had a solution to our problem, I guess This was his solution?... I hope he is not stuck at limbo." I looked at him and said I was sorry as he looked at me he made a joke and he suggested we drive to a different part of the cemetery so we wont be stuck with the stench. As we drove away I noticed that the light was back... I knew now about the lights trickery and I was aware that it will stop at nothing to collect our emotions, so I looked away and ignored its existence. We found a new spot and settled in as I looked at the ginger one he began discussing the problem we had at foot. "We will not be able to last any longer with the food and drinks we had left" he said. He suggested that we head out of the cemetery when the light vanishes and get some more supplies. He mentioned a supermarket not too far from our location. We spent most of our day planning the route and what we where going to get. The day went by and we played a couple of card games and then told stories of our life before this whole series of events happened... by the time we finished our life stories the sun had gone down.. He looked at me and said "lets go!" we got into the car and began to slowly drive out of the cemetery once we got out we saw the light was nowhere in sight so we proceeded. The supermarket was about 5 minutes away, we got what we needed and drove back to our camping spot. We cooked dinner and told a couple of more stories and when I checked my watch it was about 2 am I invited him into the car so he could stay away from the cold and he gladly agreed. "Being alone is the last thing I need right now." we went into the car we tilted the front seats back and I began to fall into slumber when he asked me, "Do you think the light is really bad? Isn't light a symbol of good?" I responded saying "I grew up thinking that, but I am not quite sure, I do not trust something that is chasing after me no matter how nice it looks, it can be a puppy and I will not stop if its coming at me growling or exposing its fangs" He looked at me for 2 seconds and turned the other way and said "goodnight" I followed with my goodnight and passed out.

Day 5: The child's light

In the midst of my slumber I woke up to a big bang (I have to admit it scared the crap out of me). I looked around quickly to see what it was as I searched with my eyes I saw 4 figures standing outside my car... "YES!" I screamed Gammy was right.... the 4 others are here was all that I kept thinking. I quickly stormed out of my car to greet them, they were startled, but quickly noticed I was like them. we spoke for about an hour about what was going on and what I had dream and how we all had the same question storming through our heads "what do we do now?" I asked for names,but they looked at me and at once said in unison "OUR NAMES IS OUR IDENTITY, NO ONE IS TO KNOW OUR SOUL" I thought the comment was a little creepy, but payed no mind to it... we had no time.. I looked around to see if the light was around us and realized that for once it was not outside the cemetery. As I took a deep breath and was about to talk, a big flash of light blinded us, the light was at the entrance once again, but this time it was burning even brighter as if our union made it stronger... It scared me, but I knew I was safe as long as I remained in the cemetery. I looked at the others and asked "Do you guys know what we can do, to survive this catastrophic event?" The female from the group stared into my eyes and simply said "nothing, we can only live our lives and hope that once we reach old age/ death that we are taken up to the other world" The three others stared at her weirdly and just began to laugh at her... One of them, the ginger male said "I personally believe that giving into the light is not a huge problem, I think it sets us free" to which the one with the beard asked, "So why are you here with us and have not given into the light?" ... the third male with the big dark eyes laughed loudly and said "because he is scared as balls" I looked at him and asked "So what do you think?" He looked me up and down and simply said "I believe this is only temporary, if we stand up long enough I feel the world will go back to the way it use to be." The female laughed and we all just started giggling with her. As time went by and the sun began to set, we saw a small boy walk by the entrance he looked at us and as he began to walk towards us screaming out "SIS HELP ME!!!" it was the same boy who I had seen previous. The female turned her head quickly and screamed out "NICK, RUN! as he began to run towards the cemetery, the light began to move towards him I stood there in shock as I saw this female run to the entrance in hope of saving her brother... The 2 out of the 3 guys stood with me in shock with me, but the third one ran after her as he cried out "JULIA NO!!! ITS A TRAP DO NOT LEAVE ME!!!!!" she grabbed a hold of the child as he slowly morphed into this orb of light and began to absorb her into its rays the guy reached her and intended to pull her back into the cemetery, but the force of the small orb was too strong it pulled him out with her and within 3 seconds they vanished into the light... 3 minutes later the sun was gone, night came upon us and after a few seconds of paranoia I looked at the 2 other guys and the ginger one took a gulp and simply said "Sucks to be them!" and simply laughed... I looked at him and said "F*ck off" and I went into my car for the night, after 5 minutes of composing myself I rolled down the window and asked if they wanted to come in to the car because it would warmer for them. They simply said we got it covered and out of their backpacks pulled out some blankets and garbage bags, I was a little confused, but was too tired to care, I said goodnight rolled up my window and curled up into a ball in the back seat.

Day 4: Of death and Gammy

As I slept I began to dream, but unlike any dream this one seem realistic... Gammy was there and we where at her grave.. "Leo, this is the last time I will contact you so you need to listen carefully" she began to say. I had so many questions to ask her, but she quickly stopped me due to the short amount of time we will have to discuss what must be done next. "My son, I am sorry for what is to become of your future. I am sadden to say, but there is no way for you to defeat the light, at least from what I have researched, we do not stand a chance against it." My heart nearly stopped when she said that. "Only key things you must know in order to survive is 1. It is not able to travel your world after sunset and 2. For reasons unknown it is not able to enter graveyards/cemeteries. Leo you are not the only one left, I found out in your future there will 4 others who have come together. You must join them. You will find them at the cemetery My body is buried in. Make your way over there carefully and group up with them, strength lies in numbers. You guys can win! I have faith in you. Time is almost over, I know you have many questions, but I only have time to answer one, so choose wisely my son." As many questions ran through my head only one kept coming back to me, so I decided to ask it. "Gammy, why is it that the second coming separates the dead from the living, I thought we are all suppose to join together again and good stays with good and evil stays with evil, that is what the Bible says... whats the deal?" ... after a deep breath she looked at me and said "It is a very complicated subject the Bible is not completely right, yes there is those two worlds, but what it gets wrong is what happens to the living after the second coming and what happens is what you are seeing around you these days. Emotions are erased from everyone in order for a new society to be created. By losing emotions, humans are able to live together and procreate and these new children are the new age Adams and Eves and a new world will be born. Now in my case since I am dead I begin a new life, which is similar to the one we have lived in the past, but this one is eternal. We are all in this new world created especially for each one of us. We are given a set of rules which we are to follow. One of them is that we are not allowed to make contact with the living, but of course I am secretly breaking the rule and they are starting to suspect which is why this is the last time I speak to you. I do not want to be sent into limbo. You are beginning to awaken my son, I love you and remember you can survive! Make it to my grave and there you will meet the others and the truth will all be revealed. You can do it, I have faith in you... I love you my sweet Leo." As she began to vanish I started to fall into darkness... I awoke in shock I was a little sad that Gammy was gone for good this time, but at least I now know that I am not alone and that I know where to head to as I turned to look at the entrance I saw the light standing there once again, waiting ready to strike me. I was safe... for now. I got out the car and began to look around the cemetery for stuff I could use I built a fire using some twigs by a grave and cooked me some noodles for lunch. as time passed I spent most of my day planning my strategy of what I would do and how I would get to the grave of Gammy. The sun went down and as soon as I saw the light vanish I started my car and began my exit. I drove for about 30 minutes and once I got into the cemetery I began to get happy, "I can do this!" I began to say over and over again. I got to Gammy's grave and got out the car and sat there and waited... No one showed up so I decided to get back in the car and rest up. "Maybe they will come on a later date" I told myself as I fell into deep slumber.

Day 3: First encounter with the demon

It was nearly noon when I woke up the next day... I quickly refreshed the page, but no response ... maybe I was getting ahead of myself... wouldn't these people be taken over by whatever has taken the rest of society... There is no hope for me... few seconds later a heard a bleep... I GOT AN EMAIL RESPONSE! ... I quickly opened it... all it said was "Do not worry Leo... It will soon be over to help ;)" I took a deep breath... at this moment I saw that there was some hope... "I can survive this" I whispered to myself. 5 minutes later the computer shutdown and the lights in my room began to flicker and my room went dark.... maybe Sole was coming to help? At that moment I heard a slow knock on the door... "Leo come out lets have a quick talk" it was Sara... I held my breath and did not respond.... 2 seconds later I saw a bright light through the crack of my door.... no it is here ITS THE LIGHT! ... I began to panic... what do I do, do I run? Will it be able to get in? "Ok, stop panicking" I told myself... I slowly made my way grabbed some food, water, a flashlight, my car keys, and clothes stuffed it into my backpack and put it by the window... If I had to escape I was going to be prepared!.... As I sat by the window hopping that they might just leave I heard a click.... "F*CK THEY OPENED THE DOOR!" I need to act fast as I began to move stuff I had placed over the window I saw the door fly open... there was Sara standing at the doorway with this glowing orb coming towards me... Next thing was the strangest thing I have ever experienced... The glowing orb was communicating with me, but instead of speaking to me it penetrated my brain and it used some type of telepathy trick to talk "Leo it is fine, I am here to help" it said... "HELLS THE F*CK NO YOU AREN'T" I yelled as I grabbed my backpack and broke the window with a kick and jumped out (thank G*d for first floor apartments)... I quickly got back up brushed the glass off and I began to run towards my car. As I looked back I saw that my roommate had stayed behind, but the light still came towards me as it reached the outside it seemed to grow bigger.. I had to get away!... I ran into my car and quickly started up and started driving... I drove as quick as I could, with no place being safe I had no clue where to go... The radio came on, IT WAS GAMMY! "Go to the nearest graveyard Leo, it will not be able to get you there" she said... I quickly listened without thinking and headed to the closest cemetery. As I arrived to the cemetery, the sun began to set and as it set I saw that the light which stood by the entrance as if it was waiting for me to intend to escape... It began to glow less and less until it completely vanished... Interesting, it cannot enter cemeteries or travel at night. Gammy spoke again "you are safe now child, now grab some sleep, the journey that lies ahead is a tough one." As her voice became static in the radio I some how became really calm and fell into a deep slumber on the drivers seat.

Day 2: What is this light?

It was 5am and I could not manage to sleep. What is happening in this world, what is this evil light thing that is patrolling around.... and most importantly how did gammy Mary, who has been dead for 3 years contact me from "The other side" and what exactly did she mean by "Don't let them get you." One thing I knew for sure is I will not be leaving this room anytime soon... Thank G*d for roommates with no boundaries forcing me to keep all my groceries in my room. I looked around and saw that I basically have enough food and water to last me to the end of the week. I need to come up with a plan, there has to be something I can do to escape whatever this was. I really wish my gamma contacts me again, I need some type of instructions or directions on what to do next. I cannot hide in my room forever, but I cannot go out there and let them get me. I decided to log on to my computer and search the internet, there must be some clue to what is going on or what this light might be. I went on Google and went from page to page for what seemed to feel like hours. After searching everything I could think of/ losing all hope I came across a weird website (RaidersAgainstTheLight.org). It was quite interesting.... Decorated with these golden like vines that circled this one image that had the same stare that my roommate gave me yesterday. I clicked on it and it lead me to this other page with the title The second coming. I began to read all this information which sounded like pages of... The Bible?, but at this moment I was desperate so I continued until I finished reading.... When I was done reading the page I sat back on my chair and just began to cry... after crying for like 20 minutes I decided it was time to put myself together. Apparently I was not one of the souls taken to the other side, but for some reason I had not been trapped like the rest of the beings left in this world in this state of blankness... According to the website, some individuals who have a strong connection to emotions are somehow immune to the effects of the brainwave shock... but this is apparently is a horrible problem... a.k.a. a visit from the light... According to the site The light was originally created to remove all sense of emotion and help the individual become one with this new society, but apparently something went horribly wrong and it is only able to absorb individual's positive emotions leaving them in a depressive state of mind in which they become engulfed into this world of darkness and depression and trapped with no place to escape.... Now I understand why gammy wants me to protect myself and not let this, this demon get me... As I began to think of what to do I saw that there was a persons email-link on the bottom corner website with the name Sole.... I decided to contact whoever this Sole person was... they might be able to help me win against the light... As soon as I sent the email I sat at my desk waiting and hoping for a response.... I drifted into a deep slumber.

Day 1: My Story, Introduction to the new world

I use to dream of waking up in a world in which we are not troubled by our emotions until one day it all became a reality... This is my story...
It was the morning of December 18th 2010 when it all started. I woke up from bed as I normally did and went about my business. When I came out of my room to greet my housemates I noticed something strange was going on. No one was acting their normal self... Sara who usually is in a grumpy bitchy mood was all calm, when I approached her to say hello she gave me a blank stare and said "hey wassup?", but it was not normal... it frightened me. Her hello pierced my ears and made me twitch... At the moment I could not tell anything was wrong. I proceeded as if the hello did not bother me and asked her about her epic night ( she had this huge crush on a guy and finally got up the courage to ask him out and he said yes). I asked her how it went, her response to my question was really dull and shocking "My night was great, we went out to that Italian restaurant downtown, followed by the movies and then he walked me home and we kissed for about 20 minutes." ...shocked at the monotone response she gave me I asked her what was wrong with her and why wasn't she more excited, she finally got that kiss she has been waiting for... she looked at me again and said "I am completely normal, what is up with you?" I became nervous and began interrogating her thinking that he did something wrong like molested her or something, but her expression just stayed the same.... "SARA WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!!?" was the next thing that came out of my mouth. she did not raise her voice at me at all...is as if she was a zombie with no emotional expression, I could not take it anymore, so I decided to leave the house.... As I walked down the street I noticed everyone around me had this same stare that Sara had given me back in our house. People looked at me as if I was an outcast and began to walk towards me asking me questions like, "what is wrong with you?" and "who are you?" But the most shocking one of them all was this kid who walked right up to me and pulled on my shirt and said, "Hey mister, Hasn't the light come visit you yet?" What did he mean by the light, is this light what has made everyone go into this state of being... I had to get away so I ran back home and locked myself in my room... I turned on the tv to see if there was anything on that explained what this light was and why was everyone acting so weird... Every channel was only static except for channel 8. What I saw there really scared me, it was my dead grandmother... "You Must not let the light get you! You must fend for your life, do not let it steal your emotions, I love you and will do my best to protect you from the other side, please be safe Leo... I must run before they notice I have contacted you, don't let them get you"....WTF! was all that went through my head... This is insane I do not know what to do!!! Why am I seeing my dead Gammy on the tv, have I gone insane? At that instance I had to do something, I locked myself in my room and began to panic.... I blocked out all the exits and put my mattress in my closet crawled into a ball and tried to sleep
