"What's going on?"
Ramona pulled her curtains away from her windows, expecting to see light when only darkness appeared. A brisk look to the digital clock on her night stand told her only was morning- yet there was no sunlight. She walked out of he apartment door and down the stairs onto the street below. People were panicking, down the street she could hear someone yelling some type of religious babbling.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Suddenly light shined on her face. She thought she would find this relieving, but her skin burned- everywhere the light touched made her feel like she would burst into ashes. She screamed and ducked from the light, escaping in the alleyway behind the apartment buildings. She fought for her breath, her chest heaving in labored efforts. Ramona brought her hands up to her face and noted that there was no blood, but the sting stayed on her skin.
"W-what's wr-wrong with me?"
