The Dark Night
Time: 00:07
Temperature: 6°C
Weather: Foggy and Cold
The Night is pitch-black and there's almost no Light on the Streets, except the Flashing Light from Flashlights, that the Soldiers carry around with them. Darker are the Alleyways, which after seconds are filled by light of the Flashlights. In the light, is a Silhouette of an dead body to see.
The two Soldiers, who are maybe 25 Years old, hurry to the dead body to only stay there in Disbelief after seeing the Corpse. The "Crime Scene" is filled with blood, fear and Death. The underpart of the Body's Stomach is cut open, which led to the fact that the Guts are spilled on the Floor. Maggots and Fly's already have a feast on the 20 years old Soldier.
As the Soldiers watched the slowly rotting Corpse, the one of them wanted to say something.
"I think we should investigate the Area-" The man gasped out for air, as an Axe was rammed in-between his Shoulder blades directly into his neck.
The second Soldier looked shocked to his Comrade and went for his own pistol. But before that happened, he got kicked into his stomach and was finished with an quick slit through the Throat. And there he stands...
clothes soacked in blood and a bloodfilled Knife. The Man watched his own Reflection in the Blade of his just redpainted Knife. His Blackened Hair is led through the Wind, and his Beard is filled with blood. After he looked in the Reflection, he disappeared at the end of the Alleyway. The middle aged man, walked within the Darkness.
As he continued to go on the Main Street to switch the Alleyways, there was a scream to be heard on the left side of his.
After he looked this way, it was seen how a woman is attacked by an pack of stray dogs. She screamed and screamed and screamed... without any End...
But Ethan knows, it's to late for her already. He decided to leave the Area before the Attention of the Dogs will land on him.
5 minutes later he arrives at the end of the Alleyway, which has a big Stone wall there. on the left Side is an Fire escape Ladder located, which doesn't reach the Ground. Ethan looked around before he jumped up to the ladder. He started to climb, ignoring the milde pain in his arms and legs.
His mind was lost in thought of his Past. This was not the world he remembered before the war had destroyed everything. Now, only chaos and darkness remained.
As he reached the top of the ladder, he found himself on the roof of an abandoned building overlooking the city. He took a deep breath and surveyed the destruction that loomed before him.
He thought again about his Past. In the Age of 6... 30 Years ago in the Year 2040... The Bombs fell from the Sky right into the Heart of Moscow...

Temperature: 23°C
Weather: Sunny
Ethan play's with his 2 bigger Brothers in the Park, while being watched by their Parents, who sit on the Park Bench.
"I think our Childrens will be Doctors or Lawyers." Said the Mother called Natasha to our Flashback Protagonist. Natasha see's no to little Reaction by her 1,90m Husband.
After 3 seconds of thinking, he slowly turned his Face to Natasha.
"They will be Soldiers, I know it already."
Natasha looked at him with an curious Face and asked him: "Why? What gives you the feeling of that?" He watched his Kids already again, seeing how they play in the Sand, full of Joy.
"The News... everything's going so bad and the Relations between the nation's aren't really great anymore since 2038. I wouldn't wonder if they would draft our kids and put me again in Command."
Natasha looked at him with fear, which changed into sadness watching the kids. The Sun's setting down and the Sounds of the Birds slowly disappear.
"I guess your right..." Sergey looked up in the sky and saw a grey Object flying over Mosow. He knew directly what it is. He stood up and ran to the kids.
"Take Your Kids, There's a Bomb heading To Moscow Any Moment!"
Most People started to scream, some stood still in fear. Sergey grabbed Ethan and his other Kids.
Natasha did the same as her Husband did, but the Explosion started. Everything's got Black...

Out of Thoughts hes heading to the Corner of the Roof, where an Suitcase lies. After arriving, he goes into the knees and opens the Suitcase. In the suitcase, lies a Heavy Sniper Rifle, already with all parts together and ready to be used.
Time: 00:31
As he lies on the roof, looking for Danger with his Binoculars, he expects an Convoy any Moment. Moments later, he listens to the communication of the military through his Earplug.
"Commander, The Alpha and Delta Team aren't responding anymore!" So said one of the Soldiers. The Commanding Officer responds: "The Local Network doesn't work probably not more for the other Teams. Continue Driving!"
After this Communication, two armoured vehicles turn around the corner of the Main Street on which Ethan has a great view on.
"Naive Idiots...' Said Ethan quietly.
After he spotted the Commander on the passenger side on one of the vehicle, he changes to his Sniper Rifle. He zooms on the Officer through the scope.
There's a Distance of 300 metres between Ethan and the Vehicles. He takes a deep Breath and then...
PENG!!!
Ethan took the shot and did hit the Man in his Chest.
The Shot causes Confusion and Chaos in-between the Group of Soldiers. The first Driver is panicking and turns around the next corner, only to drive in Land mines set by Ethan and to explode.
The second vehicle stops and the soldiers go into cover. Ethan knows, he needs to go. The Enemy's knew where he was located.
Still, he takes another Shot and hits two people at once. After that, he got up and Ran to the other side of the roof.
In the end he starts sprinting and jumps across the Alleyway to the other Roof. He disappears in the Shadows of this "City" to strike later once again.

The Sounds of Screaming, The Smell of Death
and the Taste of Blood brought Sergey back to Life. He opened his eyes and looked around.
The Park, which was full of kids and Life... Everything's vanished. He looked to his Wife and his 2 older Kids.
Everybody's dead... The Place is painted of red Blood, Gore and even worser Things. Sergey was filled with Despair, thinking everybody he knew is... dead.
But suddenly on his right he heard a Breath. Sergey quickly turned around, to see a half Conscious Ethan.
He quickly checked him if everythings alright, but it isn't. Ethans left side of the Head is strongly bleeding.
Without any thinking, Sergey ripped off a part of his T-shirt to use it as a Bandage. His Hands are shacking, scared to hurt Ethan in any kind.
After he Bandaged his head, he picked him slowly up to search for help... But is it possible to find any Help anymore in a City where everyone is dead?
Probably not. But he needs sterilised Bandages for his Child and Medicaments.
Even when Sergey is shacking and hurt everywhere, he needs to save his child. He's on the Way to the local Hospital.
Sergey's journey to find help for Ethan was not an easy one.
The streets were filled with debris, rubble and the remains of what used to be buildings. The fog was thick and radiated, causing Sergey to cough occasionally.
But he pushed on, holding Ethan tightly and protecting him the best he could. He had to find medical supplies, even if he had to scavenge for them.
As he made his way towards the hospital, he stumbled upon a few survivors - a couple with a small child, huddling in the ruins of a building.
They looked terrified and helpless, but Sergey knew he couldn't help them now.
He had to focus on his own child and their survival. He could only hope that they would find help soon.
After what felt like hours of searching and walking, Sergey finally reached the hospital.
It was destroyed but there were still medical supplies left behind. He found what he needed and quickly tended to Ethan's injuries.
It was a moment of relief for Sergey, but it was short-lived.
As he turned to leave the hospital, he saw a group of armed soldiers entering the building.
They looked tense and ready for a fight. Sergey knew that it was dangerous to be caught by them.
He quickly grabbed Ethan and hid behind a nearby desk, hoping that they wouldn't spot him.
But before he could make a move, he felt a cold metal barrel pressing against the back of his head.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" a harsh voice demanded.
Sergey's heart raced. He didn't know what to do. He looked at Ethan, who was now trembling in fear.
"I'm just a father... trying to save my child..."
The soldiers looked at each other and then the leader said,
"Fine. But you can't stay here. It's not safe. We have to move to the evacuation point."
Sergey nodded, relieved that he and Ethan were not going to be harmed.
He didn't know what to expect now, but he knew that whatever lay ahead, he had to protect his child at all costs.
The soldiers escorted Sergey and Ethan out of the hospital and into the streets.
The journey was dangerous and filled with obstacles - fallen buildings, blocked roads, and the occasional band of looters.
Sergey kept his head down and focused solely on getting himself and Ethan to safety.
They walked and walked, until finally, they reached the evacuation point - a large, fortified building filled with other survivors.
The soldiers took them inside and gave them food, water, and medical attention. Sergey was grateful for their help, but he knew that their safety was not guaranteed.
