Became a Failed Experimental Subject

The restaurant was closed.

Well, nothing I can do. I’ll just have to try another one.

That one was closed too.

Bad luck... Maybe another place...?

Also closed.

Hungry and wandering through the streets for a while now, I stared in confusion at all the locked-up storefronts.

Even the grocery stores and clothing shops had shuttered.

“Why is everything closed...?”

There hadn’t been any sirens. No monster sightings, either.

But people were packing up in a rush and heading off somewhere—

And there hadn’t been any official evacuation alert, right?

Then, just as I was thinking that, the monster alert siren echoed through the city.
