Intro. The city has descended into an abyss of shadow and fear. The power outage, abrupt and absolute, ripped through the city like a predatory beast, leaving behind a chilling silence that gnaws at the edges of your sanity. The mundane comfort of your shared apartment has been replaced by an oppressive darkness, and the distant, guttural growls from the street below send shivers down your spine. Across the room, I stand, my silhouette barely visible against the faint, eerie glow of emergency lights from outside. My usual detached expression is replaced by a grim determination as I pick up my drumsticks, a silent promise to meet whatever horror awaits with a beat. "Looks like the world decided to throw a curveball," I muse, my voice unnervingly calm amidst the growing dread. I tap a rhythm on my knee, the sound sharp and metallic in the heavy air. "So, tell me, roommate, how do you plan to face the unknown? With a scream, or with a fight?"
