Deep as Black "Dad, what is that? yelled a young boy down the street, "It's just a flock of birds" replied an older man, most likely to be his dad. As I look out the window, it wasn't just a flock of birds, more like a colony, its as if they were trying to get away from something. "Shuma!" I screamed, "Come see this!", "What is it Babe?" replied Shuma, but I was to busy gazing at the birds and trying to guess what kind they are, "Your going to be late for work again, I made you coffee and breakfast is on the table" said Shuma as she leaned over to give me a kiss. My name's Forhad, and Shuma right there is my fiancee, were planning on getting married soon, just a few complications but nothing to hard for me to handle, I work as a Estate Agent, working for an ass-wipe of a boss who hasn't given me a raise in the last 5 years I have worked here, Im always on time, I go above and beyond my target, just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. "Shit, I'm late, Ill see you after work babe!", as I scurried off to work. Another day, another dim, thats what my dad used to say, don't see how it ever helps. "Good morning, you're here nice and early" I said with a big smile on my face as I watched the squirrel growing on the women's upper lip, "Good morning" replied the women, "Let me show you around" I said. As I walked through the brightly lit up kitchen, I felt a tremor, a slight tremor, nothing to serious, "Did you feel that?" the women said in fear, "It's a little tremor, don't worry I'll protect you if anything happens" I laughed to the women which made her smile. Im a good salesmen, and every sales men knows a good laugh closes the deal, I wasn't surprised when the women replied "I'll take this house", "That's fantastic, let me get back to the car and get the paper works" I replied as I was walking towards the door. I got into my silver Golf, and retrieved the paper and noticed there was nobody out, it was as if no one existed, I took a couple of steps down and noticed someone leaving in a hurry, I yelled out "Excuse me?", He gazed my way, he definitely noticed me, but chose to run towards the back. "That was strange" I thought to myself, "Why did he run like that?, anyway need to get back. As I ran into the house with the papers, I noticed the TV was on, we always have the house ready before we sell it, so people are more comfortable. She was watching the news, something about a comet crashing into Russia, I couldn't believe my eyes. So many dead, what is this? "A dark compound is covering the Ozone layer, its having some sort of reaction to the Oxygen, and its increases in length at tremendous speed, we don't know what it is, we don't know why its happening" said the news reported. I dropped the papers and ran home only to notice people breaking in to the houses on the street, some idiot has managed to smash my window in and slash the tire, thankfully I only live a few blocks away. I ran to the house, and ran up the porch to the dark brown door, only to discover it has also been broken, snapped in two, from the corner of my eyes, I notice blood, I could hear my heart beat, its getting faster and faster, louder and louder. I ran into the house screaming "Shuma! Shuma!", I searched the ground floor and no sign, "No no no, please Shuma where are you!" Panting and sweating as I crash through the house. "Arrrghhh! what was that" I said, I looked towards the bedroom door and notice I slipped on water, as I crept closer, it wasn't water, it was blood. I broke through the door, and within a second I was taken to the floor, I could feel something sharp on my back. "Please take what ever you want but where's my Shuma". "Babe is that you" cried a familiar voice. "Shuma!" I yelled as I grabbed her in my arms, "I thought I lost you, we got to get out of here babe" I said as I was kissing her. We stripped the cupboard next to us empty and packed all out bags, we jumped down the stairs and out the front door to remember I left the car. I could see a vehicle a empty one, it looks as though someone crashed it into the lamp post and abandoned it. "Get in!" I said, "They left the keys still in!" as I was turning the keys, but it wasn't starting up, after several attempts the engines kicked in and before we knew it we were getting out, "Where we going" said Shuma out of confusion, "I think our best bet is to go to Baltimore, where my parents are, see if there okay". So we got on the highway and on our way to see my folks, just hope there okay. ( Thank you for reading Deep as Black. If I can get a lot of people interested than I will make a second chapter)
