Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Silence filled my room. Seriously? A button that doesn't do anything? I pressed it again and again but nothing happened. I sighed miserably and flopped down on my rug. Guess I'll have to put it back in the dump tomorrow.

No wonder the previous owners got rid of it. It doesn't even work. I sighed again.

Nothing interesting ever happens in my life. I have the most boring life ever- I need some adventure and change. Everyday it's the same old job, same old people, same old schedule.

My parents... named me Evly. Evly Dare. (Can you think of a more plain name?) And I inherited my features from mostly my mother- thin, long, and messy chocolate brown hair, sea green eyes, and a daredevil personality.

I'm 22 now, still single, and I only have a few relatively close friends and relatives. My front desk job at the Steely Pet Clinic is pretty well paid, so I can afford necessities.

I guess that's just life though... eventually I hope I'll meet someone, settle down, and get a better job. Hopefully.

I turned the lights off and crawled into bed. Tomorrow is June 7... I have to wake up at 6:00 am again for work. I made sure my phone had the alarm set correctly again before putting it back down.

I turned to my side and closed my eyes, feeling myself drifting off to sleep. Hm... I wish I could... defy... the laws of  the universe...

Behind me, unknownst to anyone (except the readers of course), the old box TV's screen glitched to life just for a split second.
