So things were different now. You had the cities walled in, no one left without very special permission, and no one came in except for those green busses- always with the green busses, always people injured. They went to the hospital, and not all of them came back out, the ones that did never talked about what happened outside the city, what happened to the city they were in, and people disappeared. They just disappeared, like everyone wished the clouds in the sky would.
Rumors were drifting around that the people that disappeared, they were infected with...something. Something that changed their minds, something that allowed them to have sort of abilities, something that government- if that was what you wanted to call it- didn't want. Apparently it was dangerous, so the people disappeared, just like that.
Except he was normal. Calvin was normal, though he couldn't say the same for some of his friends, his friends that were hiding. It was dark now, people weren't usually out this time of night, he had made it a little farther out than he usually did with his guitar, just singing on street corners, that was all. So he was walking home in the dark, that wasn't any reason to get jumped. Patrollers, nasty business, they'd kick you to the ground if you looked at them funny.
Everything hurt, his guitar was in shambles not too far away, and he was trying to convince himself to get up, stand, walk home. Or at least drag himself home, he just kept seeing them in the corner of his eye, things that weren't there, and then there was his ribs. Hospital was out of the question, the amount of people that didn't come out of there was too hazardous, he just had to make it through the night. A crumpled figure in the dark, that was it.
