Chapter 1

I woke up like any other morning. I'm not really sure, but it could. Because it's fall and the mornings are not as bright as they used to be, summer was pretty chill. But today seemed pretty off, I went outside to walk My dog, walked into my neighbor, Jim. Strolling along with no rowe destination, isn' he saw in my anticipation of the conversation we were going to have about the weather. He's an old man very polite but also

Don't give a s*** on how he talks to people. But once you get to know him, he's a really chill person. Like I said, I had no real destination today. As my mind wandered through the avenues of conversations, we had before about the neighbors, about how I can keep my dog safer on nights that i'm not home, or when he told me that the neighbor was cheating on his wife, because he really has nothing else better to do besides golfing and taking care of his own lawn, like today. So I slowed down my pace and offered a hand gesture of hello, he looks up at me. Then, he looks up at the sky, starts to say how do you partner, as he did five thousand times each time We've ever encountered or crosspaths. As he muttered the words partner, his head starts to peel apart and his eyes are dripping down his face as a lit candle from the early seventies. He began to vomit his own intestines. His eyes are sizzling as if they were in a microwave with tinfoil around, the pupils are beyond dilated. His skin is at his neck from his forehead paleing. Effortlessly.

As it was a second layer of skin or are some of those

Velcro sneakers from the early nineties, i start to see his pell white bone as his flash starts, two decay right in front of my eyes. My mind is beyond comprehending.

The magnitude of what I just seen with my own eyes, as he's gurgling words and muttering for help, his Pace of recognizing of what direction I was standing in his body starts to lean forward towards me. And takes a step forward, but collapses before he can make a complete step. The rest of his body starts to boil under his clothes that started to seep through the body fluids and skin, i look away, i fumble for my phone to call 911, at this point my imagination has run away from me and drowned out the barking from my dog as I start to come to

My dog is starting to lunge over to the bubbling body on the freshly cut lawn. All I get is a dow tone saying that the phone lines are down, of course, they are down in a time like this. I jam the phone right back into my Jean pocket. I feel a tear coming down my face as I am lost for words. The voices in my throat have no recognition of words, i'm also starting to lose press in my lungs to actually take a deep breath. I'm starting to hyperventilate i turned back around.

And I see my neighbor

Ms. Deborah.

Crossing her lawn. I am assuming that she's seen gem falls to the ground. As soon as he looked up at the sky, I probably shouldn't have said what he did right before.He collapsed and became a popsicle.

In front of me, she looks up at the Sky, and then her body starts to decay. Just as quickly as jim's did. I panic, and I start to run, My dog starts to follow me, did I just witness someone turning into a puddle of mashed potatoes.

And turn around and witness it 30 seconds later. I'm not sure what is going on, but I need to make it back to the house asap.
