The Incident

"Three months, three months since I've moved here yet I've still not unpacked everything," you mumble to yourself "Slacker as always".

Looking around your one bedroom apartment you notice not much has changed. Packing boxes are still piled unopened in the corner, at least the important stuff is set-up you think to yourself noticing the dull lights from your £2,000 Gaming PC and 40" 4K Television. Looking at your second hand mismatched furniture from various charity shops it’s plainly obvious where your priorities lie.

Your name is Caleb Monroe and due to high unemployment in your home city you were forced to move to greener pastures to find a job. Greener pastures in this case is a rather dull and forgettable city called Jericho in the north of England.

Glancing up at your clock you sigh.

“3a.m. and time to sleep” you say to yourself.

You have work in five hours, tomorrow will be another mind numbingly dumb day sat in front of a computer inputting data for an accountancy firm. What happened to your dreams of being a software designer as a teen?

“Oh well,” you think to yourself “at least it keeps me in junk food and games.”

Too tried for your normal pre-sleep ritual of porn and masturbation you collapse on your sofa and fall instantly into a deep sleep.

Rolling sideways in your sleep you fall to the floor with a resounding thud.

“Ow! What the hell?” you shout out in shock, not yet fully awake “God damnit.”

It seems like you slept through both your alarm clocks as the sun is high and fully illuminating your room. Another day late to work. Great.

Running into the bathroom you get into the shower.

“Jesus Christ!” you shout as a stream of freezing cold water assaults your body “Fantastic, the boiler is on the blink again.”

Before getting dressed you examine yourself in the mirror. You’re 6’4” and a rather skinny 140lbs with short brown hair. Hanging between your legs is a rather impressive 8” cock and a pair of well-trimmed heavy balls. At 24 years old you're average on the attractiveness scale, maybe not beautiful but definitely not ugly.

Jogging naked into your bedroom you quickly don your work clothes and head out of the front door.

Walking down the street you notice that it is eerily quiet today, in-fact you cannot see any sign of life at all. Nobody walking their pets, no body driving to work... Simply nothing. The only noise you hear is the tweeting of birds and squawking of an occasional seagull.

With a sense of unease you adjust your workbag over your shoulder and start walking with a renewed pace. When you reach the main intersection you can clearly see something is seriously wrong. Empty cars in the middle of the street seem to have been abandoned where they were, it looks like a few rolled forward crashing into the cars ahead of them. The normally busy commuters’ road - the main artery of the city is completely - desolate. Not a single person can be seen in their cars, or walking along the pavements. The shop fronts are still shuttered even though it is almost noon on a Tuesday.

“What the…?” you say to yourself in shock. It looks like a scene from a disaster movie. Are you still asleep? Still dreaming?

“Hello?” you say loudly and hear nothing but the echo of your own voice

“HELLO?! Is there anyone out there!” you shout at the top of your lungs. Again no response.

Panic grips you as you realise you’re alone.

What's next?
