When Darkness Descends. Intro

"It has been three days now since any communications have been received from Greece. Reports of strange mist, red fogs and, in those last moments of contact, a wide outspread of violence and chaos were reported, we still await more news on what is happening there now.

In the shocking footage from this last point of contact, we witnessed the brutal attack of our very own reporter, Amanda Shields, before losing connection with their broadcast.

Our prayers and hopes go out to her and everyone on the Channel Two news team, and of course, all others within the area.

As of today, we have begun to lose communications with surrounding areas on all sides of Greece. It has been several hours since any contact had made its way out of Italy, Turkey, Romania and even Egypt and Libya across the Mediterranean Sea.

Once more, rumours of red fogs and strange mist were being reported moments before the complete radio silence was made evident from these locations.

In an attempt to make sense of the situation, satellite imagery has been procured, revealing a worrying crimson veil was spreading across these lands, it seemed almost certain that this began in Greece and is slowly spreading outwards.

How far this will spread? What exactly is this strange phenomenon? Nobody can answer these questions just yet but make no threat that we at Channel Two news will reveal any and all information on the subject.

We are advising all to remain calm in these dark times and that all separate households should distance themselves from outside influences as much as possible.

This has become a large scale threat and a world wide quarantine may be introduced within the next few days."

No matter what channel I switch to, this is all that is being talked about, even the usual television shows have been on hold as this news is spread out across the world.

Everyone seems to be in a panic, scared for their families abroad or talking about how this will make it's way here to the UK in no time.

I'd be lying if I didn't say how scared I am.

How worried I've become for my family and it's because of this, and the possibility of a lock down, that we agreed I will go and stay with them. Classes could wait for all of this to blow over, right?

A soft sigh escapes my lips as I continue to pack some clothes, my hand fighting the urge to shake slightly as it plunges into a sock drawer once more.

"Just... Just another day, that's all this is." the words sound reassuring but, something doesn't sit quite right in the pit of my stomach as I repeat this once more into the empty room.

Just another day, little did I know this day was one of the last few chances of calm before my whole world would end.
