 America Brooklyn. 31st October 2013. 

Exactly 12 am midnight. A fine dry day.Levy’s Apartment. Double storied room number 635. Room in the upper level. Open the door that’s on the most left part of the wall in the hall,and you’ll see me,using a telescope,pointing it to a light place outside. That place has been  lighting up like golden laser for like,these past 7 days,and there are rumors of missing people who vanish mysteriously with a trace of watery,wrinkled peeled skin on top of their house’s rooftops. And that scares me a lot,some of my friends at school has gone missing. But for no reason,I feel that I have to go to the lit up place,to find out why. “And so,faith with no doing is useless...”I remember those words from the Bible. If I happen to pass curfew and caught by policemen,I’m okay,but I feel that I have to go there. So,like a ninja,I sneaked through the hall,out of my room,thankfully my parents are sleeping. Then I went down using the emergency stairs. I finally got out of Levy’s Apartment. Like a boss!

The light just gets bigger and brighter. I walk slowly and carefullly. I don’t see many people in the middle of the road,except for one guy who screams very...zombielike? Maybe because of a disease or something? So I walk slowly and sneakingly to the place. What is this?
