2 days now.
Isaac had been in hell for 2 days.
The world had split open, Isaac didn't know why it happened, or if it was a local event, or even if he was going to survive. Breathing hurt like hell, something was in the air. Everything was hot and sizzling, and pools of magma were forming everywhere.
He wasn't the only survivor, people were skittering around, scavenging like madmen. Isaac was sure that the convenience store next to the building he was in was empty. He was glad he had gotten to it first.
The city center was just down the road, and the skyline just wasn't there. The buildings had fallen down. Nothing over three stories was intact as far as Isaac could see. The highest structure was a parking garage which had taken the event well. People were already setting up in there too, as if the buildings resilience was a good omen.
Everywhere else was mostly leveled, and as far as Isaac could tell, nobody was going to survive another week.
It started to rain. --- Carter exited the basement of his house. He had survived, and just as he expected the air was breathable. He checked his car, it worked. He got in his car and began to drive downtown, simply because he didn't know what to do.
Carter was speeding, fuck the law the world ended. What would Carter do? He didn't know. I'll sleep on it Carter thought
It started to rain. --- Daniel woke up. Ian had herded him through the crumbling buildings. Whenever Daniel asked where they were going the response was "I had a vision".
About an hour later they came up on a parking garage and started moving up, before settling down by the door to the stairwell on the top floor.
Ian had went to bed immediately. Daniel refused. If he went to bed he was sure he would die, but alas, a few hours later, he had fallen asleep.
Now he was awake, wondering if the end of the world had been an absurd dream, but he knew better.
It was raining.

Chicago was breaking apart, everyone was making way for the shoreline. The Metal brothers were lucky that they were already squatting at Navy Pier when rivers of magma started to swallow the many high-rises.
"This is so messed up..." Lenny gasped, more from shock than the effort of lifting the massive amount of supplies they'd scavenged before the raiding started.
"We can worry about that later," Nick said, "We need to get back before people start raiding." Nick and CJ started carrying their share of supplies into the crawlspace they created into one of the deeper rooms, right under the seats in the IMAX theater.

Isaac had a gun, a bullet, and no desire to stay. The only thing missing was the will to kill himself
Should he?
No, killing ones self is the cowards way out
Isaac was going to use the gun for something better. He loaded it all the way and threaded the barrel through his belt. ------ Where was Carter going to sleep? He had no idea. He would probably park his car and sleep in the back seat. The rain was really coming down now.
Carter suddenly felt famished. He pulled the car over and opened the glove compartment. He took a can of pringles out and began to eat. ------ Daniel suddenly felt pissed off. Not only had Ian lied to him for ages, but now wouldn't tell him anything. and the only thing he'd done right so far is get them out of the rain. Daniel decided to confront him.
Daniel walked out of the little concrete burrow they had slept in and to hi surprise, was greeted with loads of sheet metal.
"What the fuck?"
Someone put a hand on Daniel's shoulder. It was Ian.
"Someone here was in the sheet metal factory when everything happened, convenient aye?"
"No, I wanna know what the fuck you are talking about with your VISIONS and shit, it's driving me up the metaphorical wall"
"All will be explained in time my friend, come, let us begin to prosper with what is left."
Daniel shook his head. "Your mad, you can't prosper here. The world ended." Daniel looked back at the stairwell they had slept in. "Imma go take a rest, hopefully you make more sense when I get back"
"You just woke up Daniel, no need to wait! The world ended, but this is just a chance to test our fortitude!"
Daniel ignored him.

Carter started the car up again and drove for a little while. He looked down at his can of Pringles. It was half empty now. He reached down to grab it but stopped when something appeared out of the corner of his eyes.
Like a deer in the headlights someone had been pushed into the street.
Carter swerved the car to avoid them. He tried desperately to remain in control bot shot off the road on to the sidewalk. He shielded his eyes as he broke through the wall of a nearby building, breaking into a theater room. His car landed on a row of seats and the horrible sound of grinding metal started. The car skidded to a halt.
Carter hazily assessed the situation he was in. A beam of light shone in from where he had broken through. The theater room was inhabited by no one. He felt something on his head. He lifted his hand up. It was blood.
Carter pulled out a Baby Deagle from his glove compartment. He didn't know what he was going to need protection from but he was so scared for his life having it consolidated him.

Carter then fell through the floor and found himself looking at three teenagers.
"...Snap into a slim jim?" Lenny said, presenting Carter with some beef jerky.

Carter clutched his head. Everything hurt.
"Snap into a slim jim?" someone to his right said.
Carter looked to the side and saw beef jerky in his face. What was he, in a commercial. He took the Slim Jim because they taste good and looked at the speaker... and his companions.
3 boys in rags stood there, 2 of them in awe that a car had broken through the roof and the third pleased with himself for giving the gift of a Slim Jim.
"So who are you three" Carter grunted through his pains and a full mouth.

"Well, I'm Lenny," Lenny started, gesturing to his two brothers, "These are my brothers CJ and Nick."
"We've been trying to make it on our own," Nick said, "So, who are you?"
"More importantly, have any zombies shown up yet?" CJ asked offhandedly, "Or do they come after the horsemen?"

Carter rubbed his head.
"Well, Lenny, CJ, and Nick. Falling through the roof is an odd way to meet someone"
"And no, no zombies yet"
Carter began to move and try and get up, when someone shouted upstairs.
"There's his car, find the guy, take his stuff, he can't be in a condition to resist." someone shouted.
The sound of footsteps echoed upstairs.

"That sounds worse than zombies..." CJ shrank back.
"Ya think they just want slim jims?" Lenny shrugged. Nick shook his head and reached behind himself, pulling out a BB Gun that looked like a real hunting rifle.
"If so, they're not gonna ask nicely," Nick said, loading the gun, "Everyone get your weapons." Lenny picked up what looked like a sledgehammer, while CJ pulled out what looked like a police-issue glock.

"Wait wait wait, we don't need to shoot them!" Carter said.
The sound of a shotgun pumping could be heard from up above.
"Well shit maybe" --- Isaac pulled his gun out.
Guard fucking duty.
He was watching the door to the theater while the looters got to do looting.
At least he wasn't the lady who got pushed out in front of the car. He wasn't that low.
But they had taken his pistol, and replaced it with a shittier one, and set him to guard the fucking place.
WHAT WAS HE GUARDING IT FROM!?!!?
He flipped the safety on and off on his crummy ass gun out of boredom. --- Daniel was exploring the garage to see what was in all of the cars.
When had looted quite a bit and stored it in one single car, he decided he was done. He was going to transfer his attention to Ian.
He took the stairs down to the first floor, assuming he would be down there welcoming new people.
He found something else.
There was a fucking wall. Why was there a wall?
Daniel turned around and marched angrily to find Ian and figure out what the fuck was going on.
