The clink of silverware and the low hum of the night air filled the dining hall as we shoved food into our mouths silently.
The meal was good, but my mind wasn't on the food. None of ours were. We have been waiting, half expecting the inevitable fallout from what had happened earlier today.

"Good evening, Duskmoor citizens. Authorities have confirmed multiple casualties following the sudden attack this afternoon near the popular Mall district. Eyewitnesses report that unidentified monsters appeared without warning, killing hundreds before security forces could respond. Mayor Brackham has declared a state of emergency and ordered a complete city lockdown. Citizens are advised to remain indoors until further notice."
