Chapter 1 - chapter one bore

Yet again like every other day the sun rises I yawn knowing that in the end nothing will change, and yet again I wake up before my alarm clock.

"Why do I even have that bloody thing" I grumble, while making my way to the kitchen

As I make my way down the cold stairs a burst of warmth hits me, 'yep like very morning' I think to myself, as I make my breakfast, I ponder what I should do with a deep sigh of frustration I given to what I have done all week play a video game.

Pop, I turn my head 'finally my toast is ready' hungrily I devour the two pieces of plain toast I begin to make my way to the couch, not even bothering to remined myself to change as I plop on the couch, ready to waste away another day I had the realization.

"Oh, shit my job".

Before I scramble to get ready it hits me like an unforgiving wave I got fired two no three days ago now, with a grumble of disappointment I turn the tv on ready to just waste my life, well until my parents come to visit so about a week or two, oh well looks like life will continue to be shitty, and with me accepting my good for nothing life and begin to play.

"Got to make my days count somewhat huh" I say to no one.

The noise of tv soon becomes background noise, no matter what I do the dopamine from this game has been bled dry, now all that's left is the monotonous actions I am left to do, just like real life huh I pause and look at the clock.

"3 already huh, well this isn't getting any better might as well turn it off and have an early night" with a sigh I turn of the tv.

My body feels heavy as I drag it to my room I collapse on top of the bed, I don't even remember when I last took the time to get nice and snug, the bright light illuminates my room yet I don't care I can't be bothered to turn the light out, I close my eyes hoping, praying that there won't be a tomorrow, and yet to my dismay my eyes open to the same sight they do every day, Ring, ring, ring 'Oh, looks like something different as finally happened'.

I squirm a bit until I can reach my resting phone on top of the alarm clock, oh great it's mom, unwillingly I pick up, the first thing I hear before putting it up to my ear is.

"You know I haven't heard from you in a while" I can hear a bit of attitude oozing from the phone.

I grit my teeth, "yeah well I have been busy".

"Oh, did you get a promotion" the hope from her voice, makes me feel more like complete and utter shit.

"We-well I s-supposed something happened" I choked it out before I could think.

"Well, that's nice to hear" I know, I know that she knows something is off.

The tightness in my chest begins to get tighter refusing to let go.

"I-I gotta go, bye mum" before she could respond I hang up and hang my head in shame, "life sucks I repeat to myself.

And before I knew it the sun had set; I slouch back on the couch letting my back finally having a break from crouching all the time suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from my phone I peered to my phone next to me and realized it was a text from dad.

'Hey kiddo, look we are worried, you have been getting more, and more distant lately, since it's a Saturday tomorrow we will be coming around, Love dad'.

As I read this the situation became fully clear, I clenched my phone in my hand and threw it at the wall I ignore the smashing sound as I begin to let the anger take over.

"of course, they would do this of course as soon as things don't go their way, they come to fix it I can't be perfect but hey what do I know I got to make something of myself, it's their fault yeah it is I am like this because of them" my anger simmers but doesn't go away, I can't let it fade of once in my miserable life I will take control and say what I want to.

It's, Saturday, and guess what I wake up, the ringing of the doorbell, "they're here already?" I grumble as I storm downstairs luckily for me, my anger hasn't been extinguished.

I unlock the door and swing it open and before thinking I yell "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME".

I look at them and realised what I did, I-I yelled at them as I look into their eyes, I can see what they are feeling, 'I can't do this, I can't do this' replay's over and over again swirling around just not willing to stop I can feel the water begin to rise from my eyes and, then I slam the door on their face.

And I just run upstairs, I trip skidding my knee on the cold hard wooden floor, and I just lay there, pain, sorrow, regret all just swirl around tightening my chest, I close my eyes and cover my ears.

"Just let it all go away, just let it all go away" I repeat in a mutter each time It becomes just a tiny bit louder.

Something feel off as I slowly open my eyes, 'why does it feel so rough' I ask myself; I got up still not aware of my surroundings that was until I felt a sharp pain pierce through my back, I couldn't even let out a scream as I fall headfirst into the sharp gravely ground.

"Kuy ,kuy" the mysteries thing behind me garbles

I manage to get a glimpse of my attacker, dread then fills the air, "T-that's not human" I stumble upon my words as I try to get up.

but before I could steady myself the monster lifts up its spiky cub and hits the side of my head, its bumpy Gray skin, gently brushes against a part of my right arm as they make contact I, finally found it in me to scream as it burns through my flesh and I beginning to stumble I trip backwards and fall off of what I now realise is a hill as I look up this thing no monster just smiles but its eyes are filled with nothing absolutely nothing.

I make impact with the ground with a deafening thud and crack, I lay their vison getting blurry even now I have had no time to gather my thought or myself.

"Life is such a joke" I manage to choke out as I gathered the last of my remaining strength, things then go pitch black I begin to hear some noise, I can't make anything out, try to concentrate I begin to make out bits and pieces, well at least I didn't die, I guess.
