"Hey I said wake up!"
I groaned softly as someone early in the morning is bothering me to awake in my sleep. I decided to ignore this person hoping they would give up and leave me be in my sweet slumber.
"........."
After that brief badgering I stopped hearing a word from them. I felt relieved because the disturbance was no more or so I thought

A sudden splash of cold water hit my skin, the cold permeated deep into my sensations. I jolted up which caused me to fall on my bed that brought out a startled expression on my face looking like a dumbass. I quickly stood up shifting my mood to an angry irritated one as I began to speak my mind whilst shivering from the cold.399Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZWe5Asm9p

"What the heck are you doing!?" I shockingly yelled
"Well I told you to get up, that's what you get when you don't listen"
I popped a nerve upon hearing his remark. That's not even an excuse to douse people with water on a whim nor a method to wake them up. This shameless prick acting so arrogant like it's nothing for him really irritate the hell out of me and so I said
"What are you here for so early in the morning anyway!?" 399Please respect copyright.PENANAIANnkgPzyC
399Please respect copyright.PENANAEa8XqZMzC9
My tone tinge with annoyance
"Are you kidding me?" So he says, I gave him a puzzled expression and responded
"Huh? What is it?"
He only gasped in shock then showed a disappointed look
"I can't believe you forgot! You said you'd go out with me to buy the latest phone model today!"
sounding like a whining brat which only added negatively to my already bad mood in any case I pondered in review and recalled immediately that I did hold him that promise. I felt a little guilt for forgetting so apologetically I said
"Oh uhm my bad. I totally forgot but don't worry I'll accompany you let me change for a sec."
I was still in my pajamas....my drenched pajamas to be precise, Ignoring my now wet bed, I hurriedly changed my clothes and picked what I would usually wear.
"Seriously man, ..Haaa well whatever just hurry up"
I definitely felt that heavy sigh and hastily finished changing as I talked
"Aight , I'm ready Lets go"
Still feeling a bit groggy I checked my phone and looked at the date it's 02-14-2011,we both head out from my apartment going down the stairs and reached the sidewalk proceeding to walk along, I let out a yawn still completely out of it when I heard him say
399Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Rfldg2kD

"Whoah.... That was quite a big yawn, Did you stay up late again?" He asked and I responded nonchalantly399Please respect copyright.PENANAvo3b7nYq67

"Yeah .. I had a late night practice since the band got hold of a news about an incoming event"
"Oh? .... what kind of event is it?" Traces of curiosity showed in his face
"You really wanna know?" I expectedly asked399Please respect copyright.PENANACk82nFEAmx
399Please respect copyright.PENANAKtoFIrQdGr
"Yeah"
"Well, Its called CAC it's short for Countdown-Fes Amateur Contest, it's an event where starter bands show off their music through live performance and guess what... A lot of scouts will be there to watch everyone's performance and honestly we're hoping to get scouted by one that would be so awesome if it happened"
I suddenly became talkative.. beaming as I was telling him about it
"Amazing" he stated with a cheerful grin
"I know right!" throwing back the same expression but a bit cheerier than his
"Actually I came along with you because I'm going to buy a new bass for the event, my previous one's gotten old" I added
"I see hehe well I'm rooting for yah and I'll go see it"
"yeah thank you and please do" I scratched my right cheek feeling a little shyness
As we continued our conversation a moment had passed by and without realising it we've arrived Infront of a huge mall. He quickly dragged me with him inside and went straight to the area where smartphones were sold. I stood there by him in wait and looked at the TV that was on the other side of counter hunged up on the wall so people could watch it. It aired the news channel the anchor on the program began to deliver the latest report.
[BREAKING NEWS, 399Please respect copyright.PENANAjf1qcb7uBD
399Please respect copyright.PENANAhVXIgPCO4h
a law enforcer was attacked stopping a crazed man that assaulted citizens in the area and was shot dead by the police.]
[Let's hear from Reporter A now live]
[Good morning folks were here today to show a live footage on what had transpired earlier ago in the vicinity]
The video footage was shown and I saw a man in tattered clothes as if he was mauled by a bear , he was covered in blood and his eyes were white moreover he was randomly grabbing then biting people tearing out their skin. A lot of screams where heard from the background and I saw the police shot the crazed individual in his leg. The latter fell down but immediately stood back up , the police fired another shot in the opposite leg but the man still kept on coming, the police pulled the trigger again but this time in the head and the man finally went down for good.
Upon seeing the footage I was sweating bullets, the disbelief overwhelming my senses from what I had just seen. My thoughts were in chaos and I was filled with deep anxiety from the brutality now etched in my mind.
The footage had ended and it was switched back to the news anchor, I could tell they looked unnerved and shaken just like how I was feeling at the moment but of course it didn't show on their face because they have to keep their composure upholding their professionalism above all else.
[ T...That was all the report we got from Reporter A , now on to a hotter topic----] Her voice cracked a bit in the middle of her statement.
By then I had already stopped paying attention to the television. I turned my head around, my line of sight wandered like they're scanning for people around me nearby who also saw the news to confirm for myself that i really did saw the same. There was this old man who brushed it off thinking it was just a movie trailer, another was a woman who looked liked they were about to vomit as she ran towards the direction of a comfort room and a few others, well, their expressions tell of the end of the world. Not many had seen the news since since we're inside a mall and that people were busy with themselves with shopping.
"sh...r....o" a faint voice drowned out in the crowd's noise was calling me, this repeated again but this time it was slightly louder though still blotted out by the surrounding noise..
"S...h...ir.......o"
"SHIRO!" a deep clear voice finally reached my ears
I immediately snapped back to my senses and looked towards the owner of the voice which was my companion beside me.
"Shiro, are you alright? I've been calling out to you but you weren't listening" His words oozing with concern
"Yes, I'm alright just got a bit preoccupied that's all" my tone bearing reassurance for him
"Are you sure? Maybe you want to poo? Well we can go hit the bathroom want me to come with?" he says with sincerity
My boiling point shot up as he asked me that nonsense. This insensible jerk uttering stupid crap makes me want to punch him in the face, I calmed myself down and answered him
"I'm sure and since you're done buying your phone let's hurry up and go to the second floor already. I still have to buy my bass" I uttered with a slight anger in my voice
I grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him with me all the way up to the second floor of the establishment. We stood infront of 399Please respect copyright.PENANAgDIOlgSC1f

isle 13 where they sell the musical instruments and went ahead for a walkthrough looking for the instrument that suited my standards and at that time was when I heard two women talking from the shelf next to where we were. They seemed to be discussing about that news before and I wanted to eavesdrop so I came up an excuse and sent my companion away and told him to go ahead first and pick one out for me, of course, I didn't forget to tell him that the color should be aquamarine
[Hey, you saw that news before right? The one with the cannibal person]
[Yeah, that was crazy! I mean he was shot two times but he didn't die nor did he stop when that policeman shot him though he was put down after the third shot]
[I know... You know what that whole incident reminded me of?]
[ZOMBIES!!] they exclaimed in chorus
[It's so similar to what you see in zombie films]
[ Haha totally but it's impossible this is reality there's no way something like that would ever happen. Maybe that guy was just plain insane]
[Well I guess that's true, I heard rabies can do that to you, make you crazy and all]
[Yeah that must be it otherwise there's no other explanation for that kind Violent behaviour]
[For a second there I really thought that person was really a zombie, I might just have been paranoid]
[Haha same here..well let's not think about it too much. Ooooh I heard there was a sale for tissue papers on isle 2, wanna go?]
[Definitely]
They proceeded to walk away. I on the other hand was stuck pondering over their conversation. Zombies huh?, when I think about it, the man in video without a doubt looked decrepit and deformed not to mention he was covered with a lot blood as if he dipped himself in it more importantly he was biting people almost like they wanted to eat them he really fits the description in most zombie movies, I mean there are also cannibals but said person was out of their mind when they were attacking random strangers without an inkling of rationality based on their behaviour, cannibals at least had the decency to be discreet about it. However, rabies, it's likely possible but it's just so different than the one's I know who turned crazy by it. I heave a sigh, why am I thinking about this so much? Ahhh let's just forget it I don't really care anymore
Tak tak tak
The sound of footsteps coming towards my direction, it was none other than my companion, now seeing his ugly mug snapped me out of my inner thought immersion.
"Ooooi Shiro, I found the perfect bass for you come see this" He happily smiled then took my hand and led me further on the next corner.
The look on my face when I saw the bass he picked for me. My mouth hanged opened leaving me speechless at his "perfect choice". Frankly, the instrument was so tacky beyond words I don't even know what to say, it had this awful triangular proportions. I noticed him stare at me with his glittery eyes acting so joyous on his own as if he was proud of what he chose for me. Seeing his dumb expression only raised my boiling point, I subconsciously clenched my fist and told him
"Do I look like from the 80's to you?" I leered at him with contempt
"Eh! ..eeh!? You don't like it? Aargh I'm sorry are you mad? What do I do?" He clutched his head with both hands as he panicked.
Oh? I didn't think he'd get worked up like this. My temper quickly dissipated after seeing this unexpected scene. It refreshing to know that he also gets troubled over his own idiocy and honestly ...its kinda cute but of course I'm not saying that to him.
So I tried to calm him down in which he did after a moment, I raised my head on the upper shelf and set my sight of a more normal looking bass that was just next to the tacky one. I reached for it but sadly I sometimes forget that I lack the centimeters for an average person's height on a different note the idiot next to me definitely had a towering a height of 6'2 ft., I struggled a bit trying to reach for the instrument because I didn't want to ask him for help since my ego wouldn't allow it but I eventually gave up and decided to ask him, I turned on my heel and faced him but before I could utter a single syllable he leaned against me already grabbing the bass with his long reach, our faces inches away from each other, my eyes meeting his. Strangely for some reason when I looked straight into his beautiful cerulean eyes it pissed me off. Anyway his face began to change into a bright-ish red color whilst making a repeated soft heaving escaping his lips, it was hard to make it out with his shadow looming over me but it's still noticeable. I'm starting to think that there's something wrong with him maybe I should say something.
"Hey uhhm ..Do you perhaps?" Right as i was about to finish my sentence. I heard a loud thumping sound coming from him.
Badump ..Badump..Badump
I started to get anxious for him, my eyes reflexively traced his nicely sculpted chest, what the hell is wrong with this idiot's body? Is someone beating drums in there. My view now fixed back to his face and this time it was getting redder and redder and his eyes bloodshot like he was about to burst and the atmosphere became tense, it was really suffocating though now I can conclude why he's like this it's just speculation but I still have to ask to be sure. Once again I repeated my question
"So uhm I just want to be sure but do you perhaps"
There it goes again the thumping got louder by the minute
".........."
"..............."
"..................."
".........................."
"..................................."
"........................................"
"................................................."
"......have a heart attack right now? No wait or a sudden convulsion?"
After that inquiry the thumping sound had come to a stop, his expression looked frozen. No way, I was right!? What the hell? This moron better not collapse infront of me I swear I don't want to take care of him if that happened.
" HAAAAAAAAA.... What a relief " a relaxed sigh leaves his breathe. He then moved away from me giving ourselves personal space.399Please respect copyright.PENANAgYrk3bhml3
399Please respect copyright.PENANAyCiSby0Jgr
What a relief? Does that mean he's fine now? Well I guess that's good then though I'm still worried so I asked him if he really was okay.
"Yes, I'm fine don't worry, here take this" He smiled at me awkwardly. I took the bass and he got behind me gently shoving my back towards the cashier where I proceeded to stand in line.
"Man that was close, Get your shit together you dumbass"
He softly mumbled under his breath. I couldn't hear him so I said
"Excuse me? Did you say something?" I raised my eyebrows exhibiting curiosity
"O-oh it's nothing ..just talking to myself never mind me, now be a good boy and pay for the item already, I'll wait for you on the ground floor" He waved at me leaving away. I always wondered why this dumbass is so good at changing the topic, well, whatever.
In any case I paid for the item and met up with him. He had drinks with him and gave me one I appreciated it because I was parched then he took me to a food corner and we had an enjoyable meal together. We spent our day circling the entire the mall all the while window shopping. We went through the arcade and played a lot then we watched a movie. I felt like we were on a date unfortunately my date is a guy but that's okay because the most important thing here is I had fun. I took out my phone inside my pocket and checked the time, it was already 5:00 pm.
"Hey it's late , I think it's time I go home now. I still have to prepare dinner"
"Oh already? Well okay but I gotta hit the bathroom in a bit, I'll take you home so wait here"
5 minutes later he came back and we were on our way to the exit but something caught my attention. There was a full setup on the right corner from where we were and people were crowding over, I saw two men holding a bass but there was no one handling the drums and there's seems to be no vocalist just an empty mic stand. A lightbulb popped in my head and told them we'd join in which fortunately they happily agreed well it's more like they eagerly wanted us to.
"Hey you're our drummer right?" My expression full of smiles as I asked my companion
"Ah yeah...oh wait. No.. I thought we were going home?" He frowned being aware of what I had in mind
"I changed my mind we're going home later once we're done with this. Now enough talk and go man those drums" Insistent on my wants he made a defeated sigh and handled the drums. I unzipped my guitar case and pulled out my newly bought bass hooked it to an amplifier and tuned the strings a bit and I was ready.
I stood infront of mic stand all prepared to deliver one song, before that I asked the other two basist if they're familiar with my song choice which to my relief they do. More and more crowd gathered all hyped for the show. I took a deep breath building myself up and exhaled and at that moment I began to sang.

"Huff...Huff...Huff" I panted heavily trying to catch my breath after that exhilarating performance.
"Thank you very much" I bowed infront of the audience my voice a bit shaky.
What followed was a loud cheering coming from them indicating that they really enjoyed our show. I felt so happy with their cheers that my exhaustion was worth it. My companion walked beside me and handed me a bottled water to drink, I immediately uncapped the bottle and straight up chugged it down empty. I thanked the two men who allowed us the opportunity then we head out of the mall, called a cab and finally arrived back to my apartment. We were on the sidewalk at the moment because I still needed to give him my contact.
"Hey take out your phone" I demanded and he did what I asked. I took mine out and bump it with his. Our phones chimed at the same time signifying a successful sync in other words he received my contact info.
"So uhhm I'll be on my way now" He sounded so awkward when he said it . As he turned around and walked away, It occured to me that there was one more thing I had to give him.
"Hey wait up" I yelled enough for him to hear me. He stopped in his tracks and looked back
"Huh? Shiro? Did you need anything?" He asked looking a bit puzzled
"No, but I have something to give to you, here you go" I handed him the ticket for the CAC
"This is..." he stopped mid sentence and I answered him
"Yes, it's the ticket for the festival. You said you would come right?"
He didn't say anything but only grasped my hand that was holding the ticket scratching the back of his head looking away in the other direction. I didn't know why he's like this but i find it very cute, if I look closely though I can't see face his ears nonetheless were bright red. I guess he's really happy with the ticket enough for him to blush.He shifted his head my way, his cerulean eyes meeting mine as his mouth motioned to open.
"Thank you Shiro" His manly voice bearing a subtle mellow tone overflowing with so much gratitude. It was so surprising for me that a simple thank you could move me this much so I felt obliged to answer in a level to match his.
"You're welcome" Giving him the most innocent grin I could muster.
From there we parted ways, I waved goodbye as he got in the taxi and drove away while I went inside my apartment and crashed in my bed getting a good long rest for the night.

SOMEWHERE AROUND SHIRO'S NEIGHBORHOOD
"Stay back! I'm warning you!!" I yelled towards this pers-..no this something coming at me, my body trembling in fear by their gruesome appearance. Half of its face was gone and it's eye dangling from its socket. They don't seem to understand me any attempt of communication won't get through to them and when I try to communicate with it they only growl and snarl like its the only thing they ever do and they just kept on limping towards my direction. Right now I'm in a narrow alleyway cornered between a wired mesh fence and them, I was tired from all the running I did just to get away from this abomination but somehow they managed to follow me despite their slow pace. I had thought I lost them yet they still found me and here we are having a standoff.
I took out my swiss knife that I always carry with me in case I needed to protect myself and in this circumstance was the perfect time where it's put to use. I steeled myself and sprinted towards them as I was holding my knife with both hands lunging forward stabbing their chest where their heart is located
"...grrrr...graaaah ....raaah"
They howled in that incorrigible voice as if they were in pain. I pulled out the swiss knife that I planted on their chest and stabbed them in the same location repeating the same action over and over. They were no longer moving, I had just killed a person.. no that's wrong they weren't a person anymore haha that's right! even if it weren't the case I only did it in self-defense!
My clothes were a mess from the blood that splattered on me just like how my mind is in the same state. I get up and stood still guilt eating away at me. Let's... just go home and forget everything, there's no one here and nobody will know. It's okay it's okay I'm safe nobody will find out.
I took a step then another and kept on walking in daze hoping that this is all just a nightmare. Further and further I walked when suddenly all my hair stand on end. I didn't want to look back, the thought frightens me to my core, but some unknown force compelled me to do so, the moment I turned around I was already screaming!
"S..save ...m-meee"
The only words I spoke on my dying breath. Drowning in my own voice as my consciousness was flitting in and out. Ah I'm dying, so this is how I die huh? What a.... shitty way to go, there was nothing I could do but cry my heart out, I don't want to die.Everything then had faded to black.

Side note:
Hi it's me again, I hope you enjoyed the full version of this prologue honestly this is just the first one. I decided to divide the prologue into two one fluff and one gore. Yes you read it right there will be a prologue 2 and it's gonna be a thrill I can't wait.
You're prolly wondering why the prologue is so story like (cuz I wrote a freaking wall). Well, that's because it is, since I'm not so good at making impactful literature like the star wars prologue I just do me. Anyway I'll be releasing both prologue 2 and chapter 1 in two weeks time for the meantime I would like to hold an art contest, the subject will be the MC (because I want to see what he looks like when visualised) the winner will get a shoutout and will be included in a brief scenario somewhere in chapter one oooh how nice. For more details you can DM me at tiktok and submit your entry in my discord acct.
