Jeremiah begins narrating- Clears throat…
My name is… is that too cliche to start off with 'my name is?' Imma say it anyway, my name is Jeremiah Lynn. I am in high school, I know it's lame to be honest but I don't really go to school much often, I mean I should but it's whatever. Wait did I tell you the year is actually 1979? Yeah if you're reading this, you're likely from the future and I'm communicating with you from 1979. Anyway I don't go to school very often but honestly I don't need to, I am somewhat of a genius you can say. I know, what kind of genius goes to high school? Someone who's parents wants them to be a normal kid. My favorite thing to do is play video games, everyday after school (it's during school) I go with my friend to our favorite internet cafe and we usually play them together.
My friends name is Arnold piker. He is also pretty intelligent but of course not as advanced as I am but he is also socially cooler than I am.
My introduction, I am 15, I stand at 5'9 brown hair brown eyes. I live with my parents and make money selling my artwork and programming video games. I make decent money for my age but I can always make more money, because who couldn't? My friend Arnold is also 15, he is 5'10 blonde hair brown eyes. We work together on creating the newest trend in artstyle for future video games.
I have a few other siblings but they're not so important at the moment but they will come up later. I've programmed a number of 4 games, they are all small fry animated video games. My goal? I will figure out the way to break the dimensional barrier between real life and fantasy world. My fantasy world. Who knows when I will achieve my goal but surely I will achieve my goal.
Since I was a small child I have always had every opportunity to work with adults in their professional fields but I much prefer friends of my own age and though not many, but I prefer likeminded individuals who seek thrills just for no reason at all. Someone with whom I can share my experiences with and Vice versa, we can have a mutual understanding when it comes to experiences of age or even science and especially engineering. I don't quite see the appeal of forcing myself into a job I hate, working for a boss I hate, on a time schedule I hate, waking up every single morning at the same time, same place, same people, same face, same task I hate. I'll live life free, free to deal in technology, I'm free to deal in a goal of my own. Making and creating a thing that is my own. Since I have only but this one life, I am going to do all the things I shouldn't be able to do. "It's impossible" but for me….
Jeremiah ends narrating.
Jeremiah in the kitchen having breakfast with his mother.
"Why do I need to show up?" Says Jeremiah in frustration.
"You got a truancy letter sent home today, if we get one more letter, we're taking away all your favorite things." Says mom.
"I have an A plus in every single class I have, without having to show up even once a week, can I just drop out already?" Says Jeremiah
"Hahahaha hell no. You're going to school regardless of what you feel but if you happen to become successful in something and make a great living out of it, I won't stop you from dropping out." Says Jeremiah's mom in a humorous manner. She doesn't actually mean this.
"You're joking now but I will accept your offer and become the greatest video game engineer and technician ever and I will create a game to make you completely lost of all words." Says Jeremiah in sheer enthusiasm and determination, it leaves quite a bitter taste in one's mouth.
"Sheesh, I never said you couldn't do it, I just said you're going to school. I don't doubt you can achieve whatever you set forth on, but I don't want any more truancy letters sent here, you're in the 10th grade this year, be a bit more serious." Says Jeremiah's mom.
"How do I not look serious? I am serious." Says Jeremiah.
"Just go to school." Says mom.
"Okay I will go, bye!" Jeremiah said to his mother.
"I am not going to school hahahaha, I'll just catch the train to the vhs store and get something good there. She won't know if it's just one day, I'll get Arnold to come with me, it'll be an adventure." Jeremiah thinks to himself.
"You're too naive kid, young and stupid is what I see. Didn't anyone tell you it's dangerous around here for youngsters?" Says a strange middle aged man.
"....." Jeremiah ignores the man and continues walking.
"I know you play video games right? What about this game?" Said the middle aged man.
"Who are you? What do you want? I don't have time for this." Replied Jeremiah in an irritated tone.
"You don't have time for your favorite thing? I'm sure you would like to know about this. particular. case. right. here." Said the man as he began to approach Jeremiah.
As the man came closer to Jeremiah he slips on the sidewalk and a vhs tape flies onto the floor. When it cracks the middle aged man began to swear and roll around the floor as if he is in severe pain.
"Are you okay? I'll call an ambulance, I'll call 911!" Jeremiah says in panic.
As Jeremiah goes for the payphone, the man gets up quickly and runs away.
"Strange but I guess he doesn't want any help" Jeremiah thinks to himself.
He continues walking and as Jeremiah is headed back for the train, he notices the man leaves behind his video game he so wanted to show Jeremiah just now.
Jeremiah picks the video game up and leaves the train station, the title on the front cover "electric skies and red water".
"Hmm what is this? Did that man create this game?" Jeremiah thinks to himself.
