Fog had set above the frosty grass, and my boots stood planted on the ground, I had become paralyzed with the knowledge of my universe, but the only thing on my mind was her...
At first there was nothing. All I saw was black, we were all blind to what was to come, and when I opened my eyes, I was no longer ignorant to the colors and shapes that made the world, but everything else was gone. As the fuzzy picture focused, I found myself looking down at the barrel of a bottle. I looked up and there was nothing but chaos around me. The screams were so loud and constant I could barely even get ahold of my own thoughts, but even trying to it was no use. I tried using my Nuro link to see where I was and who was around me, but it wasn't responding. Everything was blurred out, all my contacts were gone, and my own name was erased, all I saw was the world, and it terrified me. the woman was running, and the men were fighting. The planes in the sky were nosediving into the ground. one could see it all and assume it was the end of the world, but I looked up and realized that it was just the beginning. my followed my first instinct, it was to run, and so I did. I tried to weave though the chaos of the city, but it soon got too difficult as the clouds of chaos hit me. others had no clue where to go so they all chose their own direction, I tried keeping some of my pace, and then it happened again, the world went silent, I could see but I had no control, my body just moved, and by the time I had control again I was at the sea. I could see others struggling to keep afloat, some drowning, others in panicked fits of rage, attempting to kill the water that had a hold of them. I went on to follow a paved path, and kept on, I started off with hundreds around me, none of us knew anything, so almost every moment me or someone else was bombarded with questions, and all we had to say was, I don't know. And then we all stopped. A message has appeared.
"Your Nuro link, update has been completed!" a sentence that will live in infamy.
