Desperation Mist

Living alone, my home was cozy and organized, but I missed the silly arguments with my family. I heard a weird noise outside so I took a gun and went to check. It was dawn and the neighborhood was quiet and scary, a thick mist was all over the streets. It was nothing to worry about, just some frogs making the noises. They entered my house and I had to get them out. I also went to check that unnatural mist and I wasn't the only one. We formed a small group of curious people. In the most dense part of town, people were freaking out, as if it was the end of the world. They were desperate trying to catch a bus, drive their cars, leave somehow. Our group walked through the thin alleys, some residents were preparing to leave as some others just wanted to lock themselves up in their tight little houses. Out in the highways, people would get out of their cars and act crazy, jumping in the mud near the roads, fight and threat each other, including us.
