Episode 38 - CHAPTER 14 : Restart

Mar 11, 2025


Darius pulls up Miko and gives her shoulder support to walk.


Darius - Can you walk?

Miko - I can feel one of my legs but not both of them. So, yeah. I can walk.

Darius - If you want, I can carry you on my back.

Miko - you already have exhausted yourself.

Darius - Well If you want, you can ask.


Darius and Miko start climbing the stairs to get outside of the temple. 


Miko - About that photo…

Darius - I think we have seen enough of this place. I don’t wanna talk about anything about this place. 


Miko, while climbing the stairs, Looks down. Darius and Miko exit the temple from the back and move toward the camp.

Miko raises her hand as a water drop falls on her palm.


Miko - It’s raining.



Survivors Camp


1:00 Pm


The camp is devastated by fire, men, women and children that once lived there are either chewed to death or burned alive. Every stock, food, energy, oil, weapons, vehicles and Drinks are all burned.

Approximately 150 people living in the camp are dead.

Miko and Darius reaches the back entrance of the camp.


Miko - It’s so unusually quiet.

Darius - yeah.


as they enter the camp, they stop walking and witness the destruction.


Miko (Shocked) - What is this?

Darius (shocked) - What happened here?

Miko (shocked) - They all are eaten to their death.


Darius sees the burned walls of the buildings of the camp


Darius - they are burned as well.


Miko’s tears start to come out of her eyes. Darius looks at Miko, Darius sees tears and a shock on her face.



Darius kicks a Door open and enters a building, to check whether someone is alive. 



Miko, sitting on a chair in the playground, in shock, she hears a game’s music, and recognizes the music of the game as the one she plays at her console.


She looks around her to check from where the sound is coming, and spots the source of sound coming near the bar and crawls to the bar.


Miko reaches near the bar and sees a kid lying in mud. She moves toward the child and lies down on her knees as she turns the kid's face to see.


Miko sees that the mouth and jaws of the face are torn apart and the brain was scattered in the mud. Miko recognises the face as of Adin’s


She Instantly imagines the way he died, including how much pain he suffered because of her foolish act of moving the vessel. Miko then imagines the death of every person living in the camp with her, their screams, their pain, their prayings of being saved.

Miko’s thoughts filled her head with all types of negative emotions and suddenly herself breaking apart can be seen on her face.


Darius comes back to Miko, but doesn’t find her there. He looks for Miko and finds her near the bar.


Darius sees Miko in the mud holding a body, he approaches and sees Miko’s face. Tears stop coming out of Miko’s eyes as rain stops.


Miko (in a cold voice) - Darius?


Darius looks at her.


Miko - Darius, why can’t I cry.

Darius doesn't answer.


Miko - I wanted to cry my heart out, so why can’t I………………………… I was meant to fix everything, but I destroyed it all.


Miko starts laughing.


Miko (screams) - I destroyed it all, I murdered them all. 


Miko starts laughing out loud. Darius sees Miko losing herself.



12th March 2162

8:30 Am


"You called me a superhero, meant to save everyone, But I failed."


 Darius opens his eyes and sees the roof of a helicopter from inside of some glass, he is confined within, Darius looks at Liam.


Liam - We will be there in an hour, You’ll like the place, It feels like home.


 Darius closes his eyes



17th june 2160

3:00 Pm


Darius buries Adin. and comes back to an unburned two storey building. Darius enters the building and sees Miko lost in her thoughts of regret looking outside of the window. He sees that Miko hasn’t eaten the energy bar he gave to her.


Darius - You should eat something Miko.

Miko - how are you not feeling any pain? Tell me. What’s the trick?


Darius sees Miko’s low face.


Darius - There is no trick. I have already lost everyone close to me. 

Miko - that’s how you became so tough. Make sense.

Darius - It was hard for me too. It still is.


Miko shows silence and continues looking outside the window.


Darius - I am going out again, to check whether something out there is of use or not.


Darius goes out of the building.



As time passes Darius reaches the shelter and sees the trucks in the shelter. Darius counts the number of trucks and sees that one truck is missing. Darius walks in the shelter's building and sees tire tracks and The nozzle of the gas pump fallen down on the floor. And after some time he sees dead people having guns in their hands and surroundings.


Darius comes to the conclusion that, In a panic situation of the headhunters attacking, someone shot at the gas station which caused the fire, resulting in the destruction of the camp.


However a question still strikes him, what caused the headhunters to enter the camp?



6:00 Pm


Darius comes back to the building and sees Miko sleeping on the floor, Darius covers Miko with a blanket he found in the house.


Darius (In a low griefing voice) - I Should’ve kept it all to myself. I am so sorry Miko.



18th June 2160

9:00 Am


Miko wakes up and looks for Darius.


Miko - Darius?

Darius - Coming.


Darius comes with omlet.


Darius - Here is your breakfast.

Miko - I am not Hungry.

Darius - You haven’t eaten anything from yesterday

Miko (yells) - I SAID I AM NOT HUNGRY. (silence for a moment) How can you act so normal like nothing happened?

Suddenly a truck's horn buzzes. Darius runs toward the gate. And sees one of the trucks from the shelters.


Darius opens the gate and sees Henry Driving the truck.


Henry - My god. Are you alive?

Darius - why did you come back?

Henry - after 44 Km there is a horde of those beasts, we thought we should wait till night and then move to the other side but after some hours the horde detected us and went for our tail.


Darius and Henry help everyone to get out of the truck.


Henry - I drove back 20km and when we reached the safezone the headhunters stopped chasing us. Martha thought the safe range was reactivated, she said, we should move back to the camp.


Darius helps an old lady to come out of the truck.


Henry - But the truck got busted. And it took me and Bruce the whole night to fix.

Bruce - you overheated the engine, nothing else.

Henry - So, Darius, you the only one alive here, or?

Darius - Miko is with me.

Henry - Damn she is a tough nut to crack, where is she?


All of them outside hears a plate cracking sound from the building. Darius runs toward the building, and Henry and Bruce follow him.



Darius enters the room and sees Miko fallen on the floor covered in ketchup with bread fallen on the floor as well. Miko looks at Darius


Miko - I was hungry.


Henry and Bruce enter and see Miko fallen on the floor. Miko instantly tries to stand on her own but falls again. Darius steps forward to pick up Miko.


Darius - Enough Miko. you should rest.

Henry - Bruce, get the old lady here, Miko needs medical assistance now. 



While the old lady is checking Miko’s condition, Darius, Henry and Bruce are discussing the incident outside the building.


Henry - I was told to get the truck ready as soon as possible, and when I got out of my room to reach the vehicle shelter I saw those beasts had already infiltrated the camps and massacred everyone in their way. I somehow managed to take as many people as I could to the trucks.

Darius - What caused the Fire to happen?

Henry - I’ve heard the blast, But I don’t know what caused it.

Darius - I see.

Henry - It was a whole massacre, men, women and children, they didn’t know what to do, they were all panicked, especially the kids. I heard a kid have runned toward the bar from the vehicle shelter, I can’t imagine what the kid was feeling.


Martha calls everyone inside. Darius runs inside the building and sees Miko lying on the bed. Oldlady calls Darius outside of Miko’s room.


Darius - What’s the matter doc?

Old lady - her nerves are severely Damaged, making her left leg paralyzed, I don’t know what the poor girl has gone through making her this shock.

Darius - she saw Adin’s dead body, he was close to us.

Old lady - That explains her mental condition. Her spine has taken a hit as well, If this continues she would lose her other leg as well.


Henry comes to Darius


Old lady - How long hasn’t she eaten anything?

Darius - from yesterday.

Old lady - She should get out of her trauma as soon as possible or she will not go further anymore. In addition to this, she should eat as well.


Darius looks down. Henry puts a hand on Darius' shoulder.


Henry - Don’t worry we will make her well again. We will fix everything again, this camp and its people. Right Darius?

Darius - Yeah.
