Well, the sun isn't shining anymore and the birbs aren't chirping, something weird is going on...
My skin is crawling. Oh fuck, am i going to die already? Oh no, what about my ice cream? I look around wildly looking for answers but it seems like my inner Sherlock ran out of juice.
"Mommy why is it dark all of sudden?"
"Oh dear, it's because there's an eclipse today."
"But what's an eclipse? Can you eat that?"
"Oh well, you see when the moon..."
Maybe I overreacted a little...I tune out the mother and daughter pair and keep walking. That was embarrassing, shame on you inner Sherlock! But still, something doesn't add up...for some reason I feel really uneasy, it's probably nothing anyway, just my lizard brain acting up because it got dark during daytime. The bank at least is open, small mercies.
The guard eyes me warily while I enter, what's up with that? Not like I'm a criminal dude.

"Uhh why is it so cold? I know it's summer but damn..."
I mutter discontentedly because of the cold. They probably don't even have to worry about electric bills, fucking banks...oh well, seems like I'm not the only one suffering because of this, I can see the breath of the guard over there. Oh look, I can see my breath too! Uhhhh isn't this too much?
"Wha.. what's going on?"
With clattering teeth, the person in front of me asks aloud to no one in particular.
"Maybe the AC is acting up?"
Someone else says.
"Geez, It's as if winter has come early, ain't that right Ben?"
Uh, I've never seen Ben out of the apartment before...
"Time is nigh mortal."
Did Ben just speak? Before I can ask him what the hell is he talking about the bank erupts in a cacophony of screams of terror.
"MONSTER!!!!!!!"
"OH GOD, OH GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE SAVE MY SOUL."
"Please don't kill me..."
Oh wow, it seems like I'm not the only one that can see Ben now, neat.
"The celestial bodies have aligned, it's time for you to accomplish the mission that my master has for you."
"You could speak this whole time! Damn you bastard!"
Before I can continue there is a loud popping noise and I freeze on the spot. The guard from before is holding his gun pointing it at me while shaking like a leaf.
"I...I was pointing at the monster."
I feel something warm in my chest and I look down.
"Fuck...what about my ice cream?"
I stagger as I try to grab onto something to keep from falling, but everyone is standing far away from me, staring at me with wide eyes.
"Prepare mortal, prepare thy soul and arm yourself with courage."
I fall down while blood comes out of my mouth and I can't help but panic. I know that I said that I was prepared to die, I know that I said that I was going to kill myself, I know...but now? It's all too real and I realize that I don't want to die.
Oh god I'm going to die? I'm dying. Please, oh God, please I don't want to die. Mom please help me, Mom? Please!? Anyone please help me...
With tears in my eyes and blood pooling around my body, I die.
