Due to what was happening in the world, an 18 year old young man pulled out a lot of files and information and placed it on the living room table while calling his parents and siblings.
"What's going on, why did you call us all?" the young boy's father adjusted his glasses and asked.
"Yes, I was about to put on my beauty mask and go to sleep. What is so urgent?" The boy's mother pouted as she looked at him.
"Say, Henson, what is it all about?" The older brother also wanted to know what was going on. He had an important meeting the next day and needed to sleep early.
"Look, this!" The young man tapped the table and said, "all this news and information, everything points out that the Apocalypse is coming!" He spoke very seriously. "We can no longer stay here in the city; we need to go into the forest!"
"What is this madness? What's this business about going to the forest?" the middle brother scoffed.
"Mario, don't you know?" Henson said confidently to his older brother, "The safest place now is the forest. With so much going on, the first places to be attacked will be the cities. If we stay here, we will be the next victims! If you don't want to go to a forest, or whatever, we should at least go inland to our grandparents' house. It will be much safer than here!"
*BANG!*
Before Henson's siblings and parents said anything, a loud crash broke out. The earth shook and the plates and glasses inside the cupboard began to fall to the floor and break.
"I told you, I told you!" Henson screamed in panic and got under the table.
Despite their skepticism, the family had to admit that what had just happened was scary. After all, there were no earthquakes in Brazil. They all got under the table and were shaking with fear.
"Maybe, maybe we should go to your parents' house, dear?" The mother spoke, stammering as she looked at her husband.
"Err... it might be a good idea," he agreed. Not far away monsters appeared, and in fact, it was getting dangerous, and now with this earthquake, the fear increased even more, and with the news and information that the youngest son had shown, it ended up scaring him.
"Dad, I have a job..." The eldest son had worked hard to get his job of managing a company, and he was not willing to give it up because of an uncertain danger.
*Booom!*
"Kyaaahhh!" Screams of fear echoed as the roof was broken by something and pieces of the roof fell on the floor of the house and on the table.
A loud buzz of insects infested the house and the fear made the whole family tremble.
*Bang!*
"Mother..." The table was shattered and a sharp green claw pierced through the back of the stomach of the eldest son.
"Son!!" The mother and father cried out in despair.
"Brian!" Henson and Mario were white as a sheet as they tried to help their older brother.
Before they could help, the green claw took flight with Brian's body.
Blood dripped, and the green insect flapped its wings and flew off.
"My God...!" The mother passed out.
The father was burning with anger, pain, and despair, but he was even more afraid of dying and did not try or think about trying to chase the insect. "He died, he died, let's do what... Y-Yes, let's do what Henson said yes, it is not safe here! C'mon, C'mon!"
The father despaired and wanted to survive, and he did not notice the disgusted look of the two children. He shouted, "Come on, don't stand still; help me take your mother to the car!"
The father took the car key and hurriedly opened the door. He clicked very fast, turning off the car alarm and opening the electric gate. The moment the children finished putting their mother in the car, a loud cry echoed and the father of the two boys backed up the car out of the garage.
"Father!"
"Dad!"
Henson and Mario chased after the vehicle, but their father spun the car as soon as he got out of the garage and accelerated without waiting for them.
Mario had a weak personality when he was under pressure, and when he was abandoned by his father, he fell to the floor on his knees and began to panicked. He couldn't believe what was going on. He could still see some insects flying in the sky and some people who had been caught by them. He wondered if one of those people might be his brother, however, he could not identify anything specific because it was dark.
*Vruum~ Vruum~*
The roar of a motorcycle echoed, and Mario heard his brother Henson's voice. "Mario, get on!"
Shaking, almost without strength on his legs, Mario got up and climbed on the back of the motorbike.
The motorcycle could reach a maximum of 150 km / h. At the moment it was the best way for them to escape since their father had taken off in the car.
*Vruum~*
"Get down!" Henson's voice echoed again, and Mario ducked in fear.
Then something like a scythe to cut through the grass cut a little bit of Mario's hair just as he bent down. It was then that he noticed a large insect almost 100 cm long with razor-sharp claws flying behind them.
"Speed up, speed up!" shouted Mario. Heart in hand, Mario was whiter than snow as he watched the monster chase them.
Despite having been abandoned by their father, they did not want to die.
Feeling trapped and with nowhere to go, Henson spoke loud enough for Mario to hear, "We're heading towards our grandparents' farm and there… Mom and Roger must be."
"Roger? Are you talking about our father?" When he remembered his father's actions, Mario's face flushed with anger and resentment.
"Yes, he abandoned us, he doesn't deserve to be called a father!" Henson said, gritting his teeth.
Because the city was in chaos, even when the police saw two boys riding on a motorcycle without helmets, they did not try to stop them and instead went towards the location where the monsters were.
After nearly 50 minutes, Mario and Henson came close to their grandparents' farm, and as expected, their father's car was already there.
