01. Morning View
Dawn has greeted since a few moments ago. It always arrives on time, along with the chirping of the birds as a morning radio that pampers the ears, even with the cool breeze that directly hits the skin if a cloth does not cover it to warm it up.But the air can cool the heart and mind, some even say that morning air is good for health. Zack immediately felt all these things as soon as he came out of the yard of his house and stood on the front porch at six in the morning.He stared at the vast expanse of sky above through the gaps in the leaves from the nearby trees. Zack couldn't see the whole sky from where he was standing, but he thought this was enough.Turning his gaze straight to stare at the trees that lined up irregularly right in front of him meters away, the leaves on each stem gently swaying every time a gust of wind hit, Zack also shuddered as his arm felt the current directly.He wasn't lying, but it was freezing in here."The morning view is always beautiful and refreshi

Their purpose in visiting the city centre is because his father works in one of the shops in this place and Zack can also be free to buy necessities for the almost finished house."Don't go far from the city market, okay? You made a promise to Dad, so don't break it," Father warned his only son again, to which Zack immediately nodded. "Before three o'clock, you have to be back here," he added again, Zack just nodded again so his father wouldn't worry."Any more messages?" Zack asked with a mischievous smile once his father stopped making a sound. Zack thought the message had run out because he was just about to turn around so he could leave immediately, but his father held him back.“Zack, are you

07. Dead, Lost, or Back?
[ZACK'S POINT OF VIEW]Three days later.At the night's end, I walked in the middle of the forest while tightening the jacket I was wearing again. Now all I can hear is the sound of my footsteps echoing the silence of the night, as well as the rustling sound caused by the friction of my shoes against the dry leaves that have fallen to the ground.A gust of night wind often whispers too strongly in my earlobe to stop by. However, I ignored everything that was heard, my irises instead focused on circling, remaining on guard for whatever I might find."Calm down, Zack. You need to stay away from the crowds and find a place to hide temporarily, you can think about other matters later, the most important thing now is that you don't wander in the forest for too long, because at any time there will be wild animals that can pounce on you at any time," I whispered. to myself, trying to calm down even though, to be honest, I was terrified. In my heart, I keep reminding myself that I have to be

[ZACK'S POINT OF VIEW]What would you do if you accidentally got the chance to explore the forest alone?

09. The Telepathy
[ZACK'S POINT OF VIEW]"Zack, did you hear?""Zack, it's Dad. Can you hear Dad's voice now? How are you? Have you reached the city and found a hiding place?”"Zack, why aren't you answering?"“Zack!”I woke up to the sound of a pounding heart so loud that it could be heard in my ears. My two nets immediately circulated the room and realized I was still in my old house. I dreamed of listening to my father's voice asking about my condition. Still, after he shouted, I was shocked and woke up reflexively due to too much shock."You awake, Zack?"As fast as lightning, I looked around again, the sound of my heartbeat grew more assertive because I felt scared after hearing that voice. I knew I was alone now, so how could I listen to a voice similar to my father's? Do these groups have the ability to mimic someone's voice until they sound so incredibly alike? If that's the case, they're likely using that ability to catch the people they're looking for. Approaches victims by sound, then grab t

[ZACK'S POINT OF VIEW]Those black-robed groups were everywhere.I'm currently texting with Tamara, who lives in district three, the girl asked me if my district was visited by some unknown people who have black robes and I immediately replied to her message saying that they did come. Our message continues to this day, Tamara and I had to guess who the identity behind the black robe was, there were several presumptions that we each raised, but until now, we both couldn't find the correct answer.Tamara : Zack, I suddenly remember memories from a few years ago. Do you still remember when I asked you to see my doppelganger? At that time, I was too curious about how I would die, then you saw it. Do you still remember what you said to me at that time?I was silent for a long time as I read a line of messages that just came in from Tamara on my cellphone. My brain functions quickly to search for fragments of memories of what she said just now, I found them, then my hands became shaking aft
