He asked himself, he lifted his head and scan his surroundings, everything was left at it was, except of the strange mucus like substance like snow, but it wasn't cold, instead, it was warm, John feld tired, but he could not feel the pain of the previous day, he looked out through a hole, and saw that, it was same everywhere, he realised that, this wasn't normal, using his hands, he dug out his belongings and packed them, he came out of the house and started walking back to the city, what the hell happened last night, he looked at his watch, and was taken aback, he thought his watch was broken.

The night he was attacked, it was on a Tuesday evening, his clock shows him Friday, it's his clock correct?, that means, he slept for two days, how come?, He started walking fast, and after running, he arrived, his relatives house, people are still there, while running back, he could see shadow moving inside houses, that means, people are still leaving here, but ....

"Confinement?" John thought, his small body made him difficult to move easily in the mucus, as he advance, he went deeper, untill, only his head could be seen, he knock on the door, and waited, after an hour, someone open it, it was Stephan.

"Huh?" Both exclaimed in shock, Stephan was tall, like a man of 23 years old, how come? Stephan looked down at John and he too was dumbstruck, John did not change in anything for the past two years.

"So, that's what happened" said John, as he looked at the pictures all over him, and the area, as bad memories flashed in his mind, but he remained composed and did not say anything more.

"So, the snow maintain you in your child form for over..... two years, I wonder the reason why it did that?" Stephan asked, but John ignored him, he thought, "surly because my conditions weren't good" "what is this snow about, and how did it appear?" Asked John.

"Haaa..... Nobody knows where it came from, it appeared suddenly on a Tuesday evening..." "The day I was attacked" John thought, " it covered all the whole city, and spread to the others, are case wasn't unique, a different scenario happened to other cities and countries, in the African continent, black snow poured down suffocating people, in Europe, hails stones, which were greenish fell from the sky like rain, and the north and south," John finished his words, "the snowy day" said John.

"We were asked to remain in doors as the authorities investigated the matter, but as time passed, people started getting anxious" said Stephan.

"Hmmm I see" said John, as he place his hand on his chin and started thinking,"he has said alot of nothing interesting to me,all this are normal procedure I already knew, so.... Hmmm, he did not speak about those things?" "No any other news?" Asked John.

"No, we are still waiting" replied Stephan, "I see, the are surely hiding it" John said as he stood up and carried his bag, "where are you going to?" Stephan asked out of panic, "leaving" John said, as he went towards the door, "Don't leave me,I am all alone!" Stephan screamed in fear, John ignored and open the door, only to see darkness, how did it become night so fast? He wondered, but he closed the door and sat near the door.

Stephan saw what he did and breathed in relief, as he too sat on the floor, and just like that, the place became quiet.

"Why did it become dark, went it was just morning?" John asked, "it has been like that since the appearance of the snow, days are extremely short, and night are strangely longer" said Stephan.

John kept staring at the sleeping Stephan, thinking of how he tried killing him, and wether he did the right choice of leaving, him, he kept his gaured up, and everything Stephan gave, he threw it when he was looking elsewhere.

"Where are your parents?" This question has been disturbing him for long, since he entered, there were no sign of them, "where the dead?" He thought, and strangely, he was a little sad, and happy, sad in the case, where, he would have wished seeing them dieing.

"Hmmm, they would be here soon.." said Stephan, as his eyes did not show any sign of joy, this response disturbed John, as the latter grab his fruit knife under his shoes.

John instinctively turn his head, as his eyes started scanning the area, he was fully concentrated, "don't worry, the are outside, and would not enter if they is no reason to, so, don't make any sound understood" said Stephan, as he quietly wore ear peace and sat on the sofa, John, did not change position, and stared outside, only darkness could be seen.

Looking up, he saw something moving all round the house like a ghost, it had long sharp teeths, wearing a white robe, and bare head, no hairs, no limbs, what was that? How could it even fight over the law of gravity?

John sight was taken to another direction as something entered the garden, all it's limbs hand abnormal length, the hands were excessively long and the legs short, and the skin was dry and the shapes of the bones could be seen, it did not have eyes, no nose, only a mouth with ranges of sharp teeths, it kept searching for something in the dark.

"What the hell is going on?" Shock could only be seen all over John's face, "isn't that..... Your parents?"
