In the Murk

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Elizabeth finally matched with someone on her dating app! It took a lot of rescheduling due to the storms, but the date finally got underway and was going so well... Until they were held hostage in the movie theatre by a man proclaiming the three days of darkness was upon them.

Despite his ranting, Elizabeth was quite certain that the air had not, in fact, turned to demons. However, considering he had made it through an entire shopping centre without getting stopped, she was less certain that everyone in the room would survive. With a cinema worker bleeding out on the floor, time is of the essence. Especially since the mobile phone reception had suddenly cut out.

Eight strangers entered the cinema. Only time will tell how many leave when the three days are up.

Maybe the demons aren't on the outside at all.
