When Zach woke up, once again to his empty house, he got up and went to the kitchen to make his breakfast. He had everything setup, and turned on the small TV sitting on the counter. He flipped it to the news, and stopped moving when he heard about the rest of the world.
[i]Well, everything is going to hell[/i], he thought to himself, [i]at least they didn't have to see that[/i].

He finished up what he was doing, and went outside and grabbed the newspaper, which was reading the same headline as the news on TV. Zach walked back inside the house, and into his living room. Once in the room, he went over to his bulletin board, and reached for a pair of scissors. He carefully cut out the news story and pinned it to the board. Grabbing some string and more pins, he connected the story to every bit of paper that was up on that board. Standing back, Zachary looked at his board, thinking.

[i]Everything seems to be coming together. The world is ending, and more of these things are popping up everywhere. There are several things that are strange about all of this. Why is the world ending now? How could everything possibly end like this.[/i] He looked over at the clock and realized that he had been standing there for 10 minutes. [i]I'm running late, can't stand around here all day. I need to head into the station.[/i]

With that last thought, he grabbed his keys, and everything else he needed, and headed out the door. Zachary drove off in his police vehicle, and looked at everyone, the people running around at the same time as him. He waved out the window to everyone he saw, Altsoba being a small town, most people knew each other. He thought about going to the inn, since that was where most of the tourists were, but decided against it. He would probably scare people if they had heard about California. He reached the station, signed in, and waited for the emergency calls to come in.

Katsumi left her apartment early that morning. She wanted to get a head start on the day. Since she didn't have a TV, she hadn't heard about California, until she reached the first floor of the apartment complex. A few people were standing there, looking at the newspaper. Walking over, she read the headline, and her mind started racing. Nearby, there was a stack of papers, and she quickly grabbed one. Reading it over, she thought that this couldn't be happening. The world couldn't end like this, [i]maybe the supernaturals are the ones causing it? [/i]she thought as she folded up the paper and put it in her jacket pocket.

She walked outside and saw that the street was deserted, except for one or two people who were walking quickly down the street. She started wandering around, hoping to see if anyone else would join her on the street, but no one did. Katsumi started thinking about how these events were effecting the rest of the world. Her mind wandered to her family, people she hadn't spoken to in almost two years. She shook her head, and started walking down the street towards the main part of town. She passed by several buildings, and then her eyes rested on Jake's, the small little café in town.

[i]People there might know what is going on.[/i]

After a few minutes, she was standing outside of the café, and waited for it to open up. She stood there, lost in her own thoughts, and hadn't realized that it had opened up and that people were already in the building. Once she got out of her own head, she hesitated on going inside. To her, Americans were still strange to her, she didn't fully understand them yet, and was weirded out by them. Katsumi hated being in a crowded building with people who were strange. She may have been in America for around2 years, but it was still a weird environment for her. Very different from the place she grew up in. After another few minutes, she took a deep breath and walked inside.
