Sezon was looking out into heavy traffic as she was listening to music.
"God I love this song."
As she was tapping her steering wheel in dead traffic she noticed something off.
"Wait why is it actually way darker then it was before? Is there more clouds now? We could use some more rain here." Chilling in question of the darkness a sudden surge of voices hit her ears.
"Don't look at it!!!"
"Don't look at it!!!"
As the noise got louder and louder Sezon had to know why her down time on her favorite song was interrupted.
"What is that damn noise?? Can a person not be in traffic and listen to their favorite song in peace!?"
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!"
"DON'T LOOK AT I—"
A man slammed into Sezon's driver side door and fell onto his back.
"Woah!! What the fuck!?!? W—what is going on?!"
After a few moments of shock she rolled down her window and slowly peaked over her door and saw a man laying on the ground in shock and pain.
"Yo bro! you good? You just slammed into my car..."
"Don't look at it..."
"Hello???"
"Don't look at it..."
"Did you hear what I said? Hello...???" After a few moments of seeing the man lying on the ground in un-answer, she dips back into her car seat and leans her head back against the chairs head rest with her palms against her face.
"What is wrong with this day, ugh...!!! Of course my luck!! I'm stuck in traffic, and I'm already running late to work, and a random guy slams into my car out of a fucking million, billion, quan gigtrillion other fucking people!!" Her palms now at the bottom point of her face.
"Don't look... "
"Don't look..."
"And what is he even trying to say?!" She peaked out over her window for a second time to access the situation.
She looked at the man again lying on the ground with his back against the floor and his right palm covering his face.
"Hey dude for reals now, are you ok? Or do I need to call you an ambulance??"
"Don't look at it..."
"Don't what!? Hello?? Are you good or not dude?!" As she finished she reached deep into her side pocket and pulled out her phone.
"Alright man. I can see you need some help.."
As she was about to call for help, a driver aside from her in traffic called out from his passenger side window.
"Hey!"
Sezon looked at him through his open window.
"What?!"
"Is he ok? And are you calling for help?"
"Yes, I'm calling for help—he seems physically okay, but something's not right mentally!"
"Ok, let me see if I can help! I've got a medical kit in the back of my car!"
"That might help, thank you!"
As Sezon dialed, the driver stepped out of his car and walked toward the trunk. The moment he spotted the traffic behind him, he froze in shock.
"W—what is..."
What came into view was hundreds of people running and sprinting over and around cars in utter horrified panic, they where heading towards them in upper traffic.
"What is happening?!?"
Sezon got a hold. "Hello, what is your emergency and your location please?"
"Yeah uhh hi, I have this guy who slammed into my car and he needs medical help."
"Are you ok? And what is your location"
"No I'm fine, I'm on the freeway in the middle of traffic and—"
She took a peak of the man who was trying to get first aid fora help, he was behind his car staring at something behind traffic.
"Hello??"
"Yeah, uh give me a second." Sezon got out of her car taking a glance at the man still on the ground whispering then looked at where the driver that was gonna help.
"Hey dude! Did you get the kit? What are you stari—"
In view she did not look at what the driver was staring at she was looking past traffic and at the army of people rushing in her direction.
"Wha..."
"Hello?? Ma'am? Are you there?"
Sezon did not respond as she was witnessing the horror of a massive horde of people heading straight towards her.
"I don't understa—" Then she saw it, past the hordes of madness coming to her, It was the very fabric of earth being torn apart into black and heaved up into the heavens. Her eyes following the chaos up into the heavens and taking a peak at what was causing this horror.
But before she could.
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!"
The man that was on the ground was suddenly holding Sezon's eyes shut with his hands.
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!
"Don't look at what?!? What's going on?!?!"
As the man turned her to the side and unfurled his fingers from her eyes he pointed to the driver that was looking up at the sky.
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!"
Sezon could now see the driver—or what was left of him. His head and neck had turned into complete fine darkness. That darkness was being replaced by a stream of fine black sand, slowly ascending skyward and scattering into the chaos she'd witnessed moments before.
In horror she asked. "What happened to him?!?"
Her eyes now slowly glancing towards the cause in the sky, but yet again her attention was forced to darkness as the man covered her eyes again.
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!"
"OK!! OK!! Don't look at it... Alright I won't..."
As the feeling of his fingers vanished, and her vision was hurriedly restored, she saw the man panicking through traffic saying what he always said, while not looking back.
"DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!"
"Hello??? Ma'am? Are yo—"
As Sezon looked down at her phone and ended the call, she glanced up and saw more people ahead of her turning to chaos. some running away, some being blown into the air as black sand and some staying where they are, with horror on their faces.
And in that instant of chaos, Sezon heard it.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, LADY!!"
"MOVE, YOU PSYCHOS!!!"
The horde was upon her.
"HELP!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!"
"HELP!!!"
Human bodies filled with terror are just a glimpse away.
"MOVE IT GRAMPS!!!"
"FUCKING MOVE YOU ANIMALS!!!!"
The screaming mass of bodies surged behind her. Sezon wanted to turn and look—but stopped herself. Instead, she ran.
She ran and ran at the front of the horde, legs burning, lungs screaming for air.
'Am I gonna die...'
