Stores will close one hour before sunset. No places of business will reopen until one hour after sunrise.

All citizens must be in their residence by sundown.

If you come across a vampire or someone you suspect is a vampire, call your local emergency number. Do not engage. Vampires are ruthless and strong. Bullets and knives will not kill them.

Search garages, sheds, or any other shelter on your property before sundown.

We are not sure how humans are turned into vampires. If anyone you know is acting strangely or suddenly not going out during the day, contact local emergency services.

I finished reading the article, wondering how it must have been to live in a world where people could travel anywhere. Before humans were put in safe cities like Project Hope. Setting that paper aside, I reached for another one with a later date.

Worldwide Chaos.

The attempt to find all the vampires was unsuccessful. Citizens wanted to rid the world of this newfound evil, but the vampires refuse to be rounded up. Murders and kidnappings are rampant in every country. Terror flows through every town and city. People are raiding local stores to stock up on supplies as everything falls apart. Money is being withdrawn from banks at an alarming rate. Rolling blackouts are affecting many areas. Internet and phones are cut off for many neighborhoods.

There are rumors that vampires are beginning to organize. They’ve been found in large groups instead of solo like in the past. The name Amaros Kane is being whispered around the world as a vampire who is leading all of this. Though no one has ever seen him. Countries are drafting men and women to fight against a threat that no one could have predicted.

Without taking a break, I plucked another paper from the pile and kept reading.

Black Blood.

Testing is now in progress for every person. So far, it has only been adults who are bleeding black blood. No one knows what it means. Those who are affected are being taken to government facilities. They are somehow infected with a sickness that the vampires have created, and medical agencies around the world are doing everything to find a cure. If a member of your family has black blood, please take them to your local medical center.

Phones in most areas are not working, meaning you cannot call for help if needed. Internet is now nonexistent. Schools are closed. Businesses are closing by the day. People are now out for only themselves.

Society is Falling Apart.

We are trying our hardest to bring the news to everyone, but mail isn’t being delivered anymore. These papers will be free at any emergency shelter or food bank. Please stay up to date as much as possible. The radio is how communication is still happening between the government and citizens. If you don’t have a radio, please get one if possible.

Keep Faith in Humanity.

“You look deep in thought.”

I nearly jumped at Zan’s voice, and my head shot up. He was standing inside the room, leaning against the wall. His eyes were bright with curiosity as he met my gaze. I let the paper fall onto the blanket as he pushed off the wall and strode toward the bed.

“You weren’t gone long,” I mumbled.

He fell onto the mattress next to me, tilting his head to look at the article I’d just read. “Viggo didn’t show up. He’s out with Dee, so we have to wait until he comes back.”
