Chapter 1: Those black tears they cried
"It was going to be dark soon,
He rushed on, the weird intrusive thought being a stark contrast to the early morning in the bustling city of Angels.
The museum was going to open at eight and it was now seven-fifty, he had ten minutes to get there on foot and needed six minutes to get changed into his guard uniform, so running was the only option now, cause he was already late.
On arriving, his face creased into a frown, then confusion at the sight of people gathering and pleading to a woman who was atop the white marble roof of the natural history museum. It looked like she was trying to commit a suicide
The sounds of sirens broke the attention of the crowd for a few seconds. In those seconds, she didn't turn to find the big red firetruck.
But she dropped her head and locked her dead cold eyes with a sweaty, late, and terrified security guard in his gymshorts as she whispered
"Let it begin."
Her head led her down the fall. Time seemed to slow down as silence walked the streets amongst the masses
Thwack!
The sound of her skull on the marble stairs was followed by the piercing scream of another woman as the medics rushed onto the scene, making attempts to save her already fleeting life
There he stood, her words still seared in his mind, then his eyes followed the figure of another woman walking from the crowd to the middle of the busy two way street with black tears running down her face when....
Bam!
A truck threw her lifeless body two yards across the street. This time, the air left his throat at the sight of the second death,
Then suddenly everyone stopped.
And they all started walking to the road to get hit by cars or going up the museum's fire escape which led to the roof just to jump, others banged their heads on the walls, the police made use of their firearms which others took up after their bodies dropped.....everyone had gone crazy, everyone was killing themselves but everyone was crying black tears.
"Why!
Why!
Why!
What the fuck was happening?" Carson thought as he watched the frenzied craze around him.
"Why were they doing this?...Why wasn't he doing this?.....Why..."
Every part of his body started to throb in pain as he began to feel the toll of the shock on his brain, his vision now beginning to blur with the same black tears he had seen on people
"Am I going to kill myself now?" He thought in tears
But he wasn't moving. Instead, the world began to tilt and fade to black as he fell down. The sound of his head hitting ground rang in his ears, but as his eyes closed shut, he thought..
"It's all so dark.
