I stared out the window wondering how the world had come to this. The small neighborhood was completely destroyed. Cars sat abandoned in the street. There were bikes and toys littering yards, with the grass growing wildly out of control. Houses looked like they had been uninhibited for years even though it had only been 8 months. Yes, 8 months, it hasn’t even been a year, but it has still been a long time. I was studying medicine at Drexel University before the attack. It happened when I was home for summer vacation. July 5th to be exact. No one had seen it coming at all. It was completely out of the blue. They transported everyone to the big cities where they could watch over all the humans. A good amount of people had gotten lucky, including me, but things were getting harder. They continued to search for the humans who had gotten out of their grasp. We did a pretty good job of hiding though; they still have not discovered where we all take shelter.
