"Another anomoly." I said, the sight confirming my suspicion. Javier died only a few hours ago, they were coming faster. As far as I knew, there were only 6 humans left. We'd barely gotten the old man in the ground when the first shift hit us. In the distance, what used to be Mount Hood was floating almost a mile in the air, molten lava streaming from is ripped out base. The stars behind were winking in and out of existence, like guttering flames.

The worst part was the creatures. I'd seen wolves before, but the ones that killed Kevin were... distorted. Some had tentacles for legs, others more eyes than I'd ever seen on any creature. They were almost biblical. I'd thought I was going crazy, but when Jahee died, it brought us to 10, and that's when shit started going crazy.

"C'mon, we need to get back to camp." Claire said, pulling on my shirt. Being 10 in the Apocalypse made the poor girl hard, but cautious. I followed along, keeping watch. At the edge of my vision, I could see the monoliths floating over a sea of nothingness, like the world just ended where I couldn't see it anymore.

Coming back to camp made the world seem a little more solid, my footing feeling more natural. Leaves crunched under my boots, a sound that jarred me out of my thoughts. They didn't do that about a mile or so of camp. Then it dawned on me.
