Screams. That was all that was audible. After those events had occured, multiple mutilated creatures of all kinds emerged from the portal, purging everyone.
"Shit."
Aki got back in his car and drove back to the gas station he was just at, hoping he could find some sort of refuge there.
Once he arrived, he got out of his car and ran inside, locking the doors behind him and running into the backroom.
He sat down on one of the chairs and took out his phone, hoping to find info on the events.
He scrolled for awhile, until he found pictures of similar portals appearing around the world.
***
Sometime later, he got a call from his best friend, Micheal.
He answered it.
"Yo, Aki, you still alive?"
"Yeah. I'm at the has station."
"Knew it. I'm outside. Let me in."
"Okay."
He hung up the phone and walked to the front door, opening it for Micheal.
"Come to the backroom. It's safer."
Micheal nodded and followed him to the back, then asked a question.
"So how did you survive the portal?"
"I dunno. Just got in my car and drove here."
"Seems logical. Pretty far from there. I heard that these portals are appearing everywhere and the population has already lost a hundred million."
"Yikes. That's a lot."
"Yeah. We just gotta hope we can survive. I think this is the end of the world though, yet we're so calm."
"Maybe all those video games really get you used to this stuff."
"Yeah."
Aki looked at Micheal, and said:
"It's late. We should probably try to get some sleep."
"Alright then. We can take the floor i think. Seems safe enough."
"Alright."
He turned off the lights and fell asleep shortly after.
***
After about 4 hours, he woke up to the sound of rumbling outside.
"Micheal. Wake up."
"What... wait... what's that rumbling...?"
Aki stood up and looked out the window, only to see a pair of glowing red eyes and a large bunch of mutilated flesh.
Micheal looked outside and said:
"Shit... we're dead! We're gonna die!"
"Shut the fuck up, Micheal. Be quiet."
"No, no, this can't be happening..."
Aki just stared at Micheal before crouching down out of the window's line of sight.
Micheal looked at him and pulled out a gun.
"You know what, Aki? If someone is dying here, it's not gonna be me."
He pointed the gun at his head.
"Go outside and die. I'm gonna save myself."
