"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts // And I looked,
and behold a pale horse // And his name that sat on him was
death,
and hell followed with him."

In the historic downtown of Baltham, it was busy as usual for small business owners that managed to stand firm against the Zemreaft Mall and the major retailers. Even know it isn't as popular as the modern downtown, people manage to find themselves in this area. There was the well known Kennedy Square Park with its ironic bronze statue of a lion and lioness. Some of the tourists often visit the park to take pictures of the statue while visiting the old town of Baltham. And there was the classic Sweet Bay Hotel designed to look like it was built in the early 1900s despite being constructed in the early 1980s. There were many more landmarks and areas only known to the locals.

Next was the modern downtown filled with offices, technology companies, and commercial districts that rivaled any city on the West Coast. There was the recently opened boardwalk filled with businesses to make tourists spend their money. Despite the boardwalk being small, it was big enough to fit the tallest Ferris wheel on the West Coast called Revolution. Meanwhile, one of the ferries entered the terminal, filled with people from Seattle and nearby cities. Conner Farrell was one of the passengers on board, but he seemed to developed symptoms of food poisoning out of the blue.

He thought that it was weird since he didn't eat much, but he decided to go back home and see if anything changed. It got worse. A few minutes after leaving the ferry, he began to sweat uncontrollably while getting unbearable headaches. It got bad enough that he almost passed out while driving; however, he made it home. His wife, Mia Farrell, was smoking outside when she noticed her husband's car in the distance. She tossed her cigarette to the ground and made her way to the sidewalk to get a closer looker. That was when she noticed him and became extremely concerned.

Mia ran towards the car and saw her husband coughing up a storm. She tried to ask if he was alright but got no response other than a cough. So, she told him to let her park the car while he went inside. Conner understood that something was wrong with him and decided to take her offer. In the distance, neighbor Benjamin Dunnings watched the event unfolding and had thoughts of checking up with them. But, he was distracted by a phone call from his mother.

Fifteens later, a blood-curdling scream echoed across the neighborhood, and it came from the Dunnings household. Everyone, including Benjamin, was wondering what was going while some were calling for help. He realized that they could be in severe danger and raced for the house. It was easy to enter inside since the door was unlocked. He immediately noticed the blood on the wooden floor and had seconds thoughts. But, he blocked them for his mind and followed the blood trail to the living room, where it was a total mess. The table was broken while the couch was covered in blood. It was enough to make Benjamin leave until he heard chewing sounds coming from the kitchen.

He carefully walked into the kitchen and discovered Conner on the ground, eating... his dog. The sight alone was enough to make him throw up in the nearby trash bin. Once he was done throwing his guts up, Benjamin noticed that Conner was standing over the dead dog. He tried to say something but was speechless and scared for his life. Things got worse when Conner turned around to reveal his bloody mouth and started walking towards him. That was when Benjamin ran. He prayed that the authorities were waiting outside the house.

But before he grabbed the door handle, Benjamin heard someone coming down the stairs and turned to see that it was Mia. There was a massive bite mark on the right side of her head enough that the ear was missing. He didn't believe what Conner did to his wife and rushed towards her aid. "Oh, god! We need to get you help!"

Mia only responded with a growl.

Outside, an officer approached the house while another was talking to a neighbor until the door was open. Benjamin tried to say something while dragging towards the officers as Mia was biting down on his neck. The nearby officer ran towards them and tried to pull them apart. That caused her to turn her attention towards the officer and tackled him to the ground. Benjamin attempted to walk back home, but he collapsed in front of the neighbors. And then, Conner walked outside, made his way towards Benjamin, and started eating him. Everyone cried out in terror while some began filming the event with their cell phones.

The other officer ran towards his partner and started beating the woman with his baton. But it was ineffective. Instead, she tried to grab him and bite him; however, he quickly kicked her away. So, with no other choice, he pulled his pistol and took aim. He gave her a final warning, but she kept on walking towards him. And with that, he fired a single shot to the chest. Naturally, a shot to the chest was enough to stop everyone. But, something strange happened. Mia kept on moving towards him without any sign of pain or discomfort. So, he fired another shot and another until she finally dropped to the ground. Then, he fired at Conner until he also dropped dead. That caused most of the crowd to disperse.

The officer was visibility distraught by everything that he did and witnessed and froze in place. Fortunately, backup arrived. Two other officers approached the officer and tried to ask him questions, but he ran towards his dead partner and attempted to wake him up. One of the neighbors had been filming the whole time and decided to post the entire video on their Twitter account. In a matter of minutes, the video blew up and started to spread all over the website. Eventually, it got the media's attention, and they began covering the breaking news. And there was still enough time before lunch ended.

ROADSIDE BURGERS, BALTHAM
LUNCH BREAK


"Holy shit."

"What?" Jake Elliott turned to his co-worker, Shaun Grant, with a curious look. Both of them were on their lunch break at the local fast-food restaurant. It was nearby the thrift store, and they were tired of being in there. Jake was eating his fries while trying to see what the hell Shaun was watching this time. Hopefully, it wasn't something stupid. He wasn't able to see much, but he did saw the part where the officer opened fire on the woman. In an instant, Jack turned away while Shaun shut off his phone and placed it down on the table. It was when he said "holy shit" again.

"The fuck were you watching?!" Jake asked while throwing his fries away because he couldn't eat anymore after watching the video.

"Well, my friends shared me this link about a nearby shooting. I just... didn't realize it was that bad." Shaun responded. Then, he went to cover his mouth. "I think I'm gonna throw up. Excuse me."

Jake watched as his co-worker rushed towards the bathroom and then stared at the phone. His curiosity got the better of him when he took the phone and began to rewind the video. And once he got to a part that didn't look graphic, he resumed the video. Jake watched as the woman took a beating from a baton and then saw the officer reaching for his gun. That was when he paused the video and placed the phone back to its original spot. He didn't want to see someone getting shot again. But, that footage was bothering him a whole lot. Maybe it wasn't a big deal, he told himself.

After a few minutes, Shaun came out of the bathroom refreshed as he went to grab his phone from the table. He looked at Jake and said, "It's time to go back. You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Jake nodded and started making his way back to the thrift store.

Location: Roadside Burgers, Baltham
Date: August 14th, 2018


"Not sure how much more of this I can take." Abigail uttered out loud, sitting alone in her car outside Roadside Burgers; her only companion being the host on the radio.

As much as she loved baseball, the last week had completely drained her energy and motivation. First, it was the rain delays over the weekend, forcing their scheduled match to be postponed to a later date. Then, it was the "potentially contagious illness" that spread like wildfire through her team, which promptly ended their season as the Saints were unfit to play. Everything seemed to be going to hell, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Thankfully, at least for the time being, there was solace to be found in a good burger and fries. Her morning routine had caused her to work up an appetite, and it'd been some time since she had visited RB. The owners, who were practically honorary Saints for offerring free meals now and then to the team whenever they won a big match, had probably been wondering where she and the rest had been, anyway.

Bzzt. Her phone buzzed as Abigail climbed out of her car and walked towards the burger joint. Pulling her phone from her pocket to read the notification, Abigail was quickly horrified as she read the words on the screen.

OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING IN RESIDENTIAL BALTHAM NEIGHBORHOOD

Conner and Mia were... dead? The words were right in front of Abigail, and yet she struggled to process what she was reading. It couldn't have been real. She had heard of the bath salt epidemic that had gone around, but the dim-witted Conner and beauty queen Mia that Abigail went to high school with never were the type to do drugs. Well, okay, they might've smoked a little weed, but nearly every high schooler smoked weed, and as far as Abigail knew, it didn't cause you to go around eating people!

"Yeah, let's go." A male voice spoke; one that Abigail would run into, distracted and distraught, sending her phone flying out of her hands and towards the ground.

LUNCH BREAK


Oh great. Jake told himself after a woman crashed into him, nearly causing him to lose his balance. Unfortunately, her phone screen had a crack on it. Shaun immediately reached for it and nervously handed it back to the stranger. Jack rolled his eyes as his friend began to apologize for the accident. And then suddenly, a loud scream from the parking lot caught everyone's attention. It was a mother who was desperately trying to wake her child up. By the time Jake ran towards the scene, a crowd had formed to witness what was going on. Some of them were immediately calling for help, while others tried to assist in whatever way possible.

Shane walked towards him and watched the scene unfold. "Should we help?"

Jake thought about joining the crowd, but there were plenty of people on their phones. Plus, they had to get back to work pretty soon. So, he turned to his friend and responded, "I doubt we can't do anything that hasn't been done. Besides, I'm sure an ambulance is on its way."

On their way, Jake walked passed the woman from earlier and glanced at her for a moment. He felt bad that her phone was damaged, but there wasn't anything he could do. And it wasn't his fault. Meanwhile, Shaun apologized once more before bidding farewell to the stranger. Both of them began making their way back to work when they noticed two police cars, with their sirens blaring, driving fast down the street. Jake felt that today was going to be a strange one.

As they turned the corner of the street, the situation at the parking lot escalated. To the mother's relief, the child started breathing slowly. She resumed mouth-to-mouth while one of the owners of the restaurant returned with a first aid kit. Then, she let out a muffled scream as her child was biting his own mother. The crowd began to scream in horror while the owner and someone else tried to free her. It was strangely difficult, but she was eventually released. Her mouth was ruined entirely, leaving left her unable to do anything besides letting out muffled screams. Meanwhile, the child was being held down by two strangers as they were attempting to calm him down.

Past that, no one really seemed to notice what was going on. The rest of the city continued with its bustling routine.

"Oh, no. Don't worry, it's... it's no big deal." Abigail replied, taking her now cracked phone back from the man. She knew that she couldn't hold his acquaintance at fault for her phone being damaged; it was her that walked into him, not the opposite way around. "I just have a lot going on, and I wasn't looking where I was going..." She trailed off, interrupted by a womanly scream that captured everyone's attention, hers included.

Following the two men towards the crowd, Abigail was once again shocked by what she saw. Before it had been the death of old friends, and now, the life of a child was at risk. Was today but a nightmare? Abigail thought about calling 911, but one of the men had a point; surely help had to be on its way to the diner with everyone calling for medical assistance. It'd be redundant for her to call for an ambulance too, even if her phone could still dial numbers with the damage that had just been done to the screen.

Still, Abigail felt that she couldn't walk away so easily like the two men were doing once the other apologized to her once again for the damage. There had to be something she could do, although Abigail hadn't expected that that something would be a nightmare in its own right.

As the child's breathing returned, something awoke in the boy—a hunger for flesh, seemingly. His teeth latched on his mother's face, shocking everyone as they watched with horrified expression. The only one not frozen in shock was the veteran-turned-restaurant owner, Ray Williams, who quickly leapt into action, grabbing one of the woman's arms as he desperately tried to free her from the child's grasp to no avail.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Abigail cursed. Her instincts told her to flee; to run from the horrific scene she had been witnessing. But nonetheless, she knew that she couldn't be a coward; not while the boy continued to eat away at his mother's face. Rushing to the other side of the woman, she mustered what strength she had to help Ray, and pulled her free from the latch the child had on her face, while others began to snap back to their senses, trying to hold down the child in an attempt to calm him down.

Although they had been successful in freeing the woman from the child, however, her face had been manged to the point that even the slightest glimpse made Abigail extremely queasy. "I-I think I'm going to be—" She spoke, holding a hand over her stomach and a fist before her mouth. There was no stopping this, Abigail knew, as she launched her appetite all over the pavement.

UNBELIEVABLE


"I.. Did you hear screaming?" Shane looked behind him and began to backtrack. Jake tried to get his attention so they aren't running late to work. But, both of them saw two people running away from the direction of the restaurant with the looks of terror on their faces. He tried to get their attention, but the sounds of screaming caught them off guard. Without hesitation, Shane started running towards the source with Jake following behind, trying to stop him. More people began to leave the scene while some were horrified with what they witnessed. Jake didn't understand what was going on until he saw the mother's torn face.

It was nearly enough to make him throw up his lunch, but he managed to keep it in. Shane ran over towards the girl that they met earlier after ruining her phone. "Hey... are you alright?"

"Of course, she isn't alright. She probably saw what happened to the mom." Jake looked down at his friend and then turned to see the child struggling under the stranger's weight. "Hey, what the hell are you doing to him?"

Before he had the chance to confront him, the sound of sirens caught everyone's attention. They watched as two police cars and an ambulance driving past them. Thankfully, another police car and ambulance pulled up to the parking lot. An officer got out of his car and ran over towards the mother. He signaled the paramedics to assist her and then turned towards the child, who was still being held down. Another officer joined him and asked for an explanation. Jake was glad that the situation was calming down, meaning they can finally leave. "Shane, we really need to go back. We're already running late."

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Jake witnessed the child breaking free by biting the stranger's hand and jumping on the officer. He froze in place as the child began to bite down on his shoulder. The other officer pulled out his gun and aimed it at the child while the mother desperately tried to calm her child down. Immediately, without hesitation, Jake grabbed his friend and tried to flee from the scene before something terrible happened. While he was struggling, the child let the officer fall to the ground while desperately attempting to stop the bleed. The other officer fired nonstop at the child until he ran out of bullets. As for the child, he took a few more steps before dropping to the ground. He was dead.
