Episode 1

In the word of humans, everyone are driven by greed that causes people to kill each other. When people started to kill each other, it never ends. Everyone then wants to seek revenge for their loved ones. Izel, a girl in her teens strives to survive in such a world where people kill each other. It was tuesday night, everyone had slept but Izel was still scrolling her phone through social media. Suddenly, she saw a video. It was no ordinary video, she saw a man killing someone. At first, she thought it was a prank but sooner she realized it was not.

As the realization dawned on Izel that the video was real, her heart began to race. She tried to steady her breathing, but the shock made it difficult. She could see the cold, calculated look in the killer's eyes, and the helpless victim's futile attempts to escape. The image was seared into her mind, making it impossible to look away.

She quickly checked the timestamp and location tag on the video. It had been uploaded just a few minutes ago and was marked as being nearby. Panic set in. What if the killer was still out there, close to her home?

Izel felt a surge of fear but also a strange resolve. She knew she had to do something. She couldn't just be a passive observer. She decided to call the police, but first, she downloaded the video to ensure she had a copy in case it got removed. She then dialed 911, her hands trembling as she waited for someone to pick up.

"911, what's your emergency?" came the calm, professional voice on the other end.

Izel took a deep breath, trying to steady her voice. "I just saw a video online of someone being killed. It looked like it happened nearby. You need to see this."

The dispatcher asked her to describe the video and provide any details she could remember. Izel did her best to convey everything she had seen, including the location tag and the timestamp. The dispatcher assured her that they would look into it immediately and asked her to stay safe.

Hanging up the phone, Izel felt a mix of relief and unease. She knew the authorities were now involved, but a part of her felt that wasn't enough. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had to do more, that somehow, she was connected to this unfolding tragedy.

Unable to sleep, Izel kept her phone close, monitoring social media for any updates. News about the video spread quickly, with more people reacting and sharing their fears. In the midst of the chaos, a direct message popped up on her screen. It was from an anonymous account.

"You're brave for reporting it. Be careful. Trust no one."

The message sent a shiver down her spine. Who was this person? How did they know she had reported the video? Izel felt exposed and vulnerable, but also more determined. There was no turning back now.
