  Summary

  Sam always sort of thought he’d be more prepared or just get killed immediately if an apocalypse started- but instead he wakes up on the first day of the apocalypse to a stranger’s voice coming from a hole in his wall warning him not to look outside, and chaos everywhere- outside the apartment and in. And whatever is happening outside seems to be linked to the odd dream he had that night..
  What a wonderful way to start the apocalypse.
