The world has gone to hell in a single night....
Everything was fine the day before...now it's all gone. Well, I can't say all gone, replaced perhaps.
The night before my parent's had decided to go out for the evening and said that they would return before I woke in the morning.
"Don't worry Jake, we wouldn't miss your big day for anything in the world!" my father had said
Sure dad...I believe you...it's not like you missed the last 15 big days...happy sweet 16th for me...
But I am blubbering, I must keep this short, or they will spot the light.
They? -shudder- They are evil, psychotic and hungry...
I was woken in the middle of the night by my cellphone going crazy. I had cursed myself for forgetting to put it off but I answered it anyway. At first I couldn't hear what the person was saying and I asked them several times to speak up. At last I heard those last words spoken by my father, "I love you."
The line had died then and I could not reach the old man after that. And that's when the screams started. It was from the neighbours house to our right, and then to our left and then it was the entire neighbourhood.
Not born with a very brave constitution I crawled under my bed and held my hands over my ears. I didn't hear my bedroom door open but I did see feet. Feet which looked like they belonged to a horror movie. Even in the darkness I could make out the grossly deformed talons that clicked aas they walked over the wooden floors. It came closer and I felt pressure on the bed, the creature hissed and moved around the room throwing open doors and upending many things. I swear it was on the point of bending down and looking under the bed when the screaming increased in volume in the street outside. It left...I didn't sleep the rest of the night, I didn't dare.

Basic know how of the story

Before I start this story I think I wil need to explain what it is all about before people think I am completely insane.
Hey, I am Lex, and I am attempting to get back into writing a few books but am too busy to spend the hours on them that I use to. So I thought I would try and write a diary version of an idea I had. This story will be written in a diary form, duh, by the main character as he and his friends try to escape a hellish world that has been torn to pieces by all sorts of creatures, I haven't quite decided what creatures but yeah. I will see what happens as I go along.
This story will be on real time, whatever date I decide to post on will be the day in the diary that the main character will write in. I can't promise that I will update daily but who knows, maybe I do. -shrug-
I repeat, this is just a story! Don't go all War of the Worlds on me with this.
Sit back, enjoy and try to leave questions and other ideas for me. You never know, I might use it.
