The story
The short version. Family, 14 episodes on YourChannel. The emergency broadcast cuts across every station at once: the creatures have no eyes and can only locate things by sound.
The emergency broadcast cuts across every station at once: "Unidentified creatures have attacked multiple areas in the city. The subway has confirmed seventeen deaths. Residents, please immediately don't make a sound. Those monsters don't have eyes. They can only locate things by sound." Lisa is in the library when the first eyeless thing crawls between the bookshelves, its mouth a vertical slit of teeth. She sees it eat a man three shelves away, and she does not breathe. "I hid in a corner, not daring to make a sound. Monster searched every corner," she later says. "And just then, a radio saved my life."
The Green Valley Supermarket is the last standing safe zone, its doors boarded and guarded. The guard on the loudspeaker says it plainly: "The Green Valley Supermarket is the last remaining safe zone. But for the safety of everyone, we refuse entry to anyone with any kind of wound, no exceptions." The father rolls up his sleeve and looks at the black veins, then kneels in front of Lily. "Lily, I feel weak. I'm sorry your dad can't come in." He sends her through the door with Lisa, and turns back toward the parking lot alone. The cruelty of the apocalypse is not only the monsters. It is the door.
She makes it out to the street and finds the bearded man with the small girl, Lily. The man's left arm is streaked with black veins that pulse under the skin, but he is walking anyway. He leans down to Lily and tells her the one rule that keeps them alive: "Listen, Lily, these monsters have no eyes, so they can't see you as long as you don't speak." The three of them move through the schoolyard where a pack of the creatures stands motionless in a circle, head tilted like they are listening for a heartbeat. They do not make a sound.
