First of all, I would like to thank those supportive of me and my idea. This is the summer project that I have planned, and will be dragged out over the summer, releasing only a chapter at a time. While this is simply a project, I have put my whole being into it, and I hope you enjoy the story over all. Tragedy, Comedy, Romance, Action, Mystery, Suspence, Life, Death... These are the factors you may experience when reading this. Reader discretion is advised.Thank you, and Enjoy.
I was walking home alone once more, leaving the school for the day. Being the age that I was, fifteen, I had no problems walking home alone. In fact, I loved it.
It was autumn, and the leaves were all abundant shades of scarlet, brown, and gold. The scenic route, also the route less traveled, was my favorite way to go. This small patch of wood was all that I needed to relax me from a tiring day of school. It took me an extra thirty minutes to get home, but I loved it nonetheless, because there was always something new. Wildlife sprung from bushes and trees all around. I'd see rabbits, squirrels, and occasionally, a White-tailed Deer.
As I reached the front porch, my smile slowly faded to an undefined blandness. I threw myself up the stairs, and into the living room, where I recived my Usual greeting.
"Hey, Caleb! How was school?" My father would ask.
"It was okay. How was work?" I responded with a slight sense of sarcasm. My dad would never respond. Why would this day be any different?
I walked down the hall, into the room farthest from the front door. I threw down my backpack, closed the door, sat down, and pulled out my guitar.
It seemed that my guitar was my only escape from reality. I hated my town. It was trashy, dark, and there was a drug dealer in every neighborhood, and a hooker on every corner. My school was no better. The entire campus was full of whores, “Gangstas wit Swag”, and teachers who didn’t know how to teach.
My favorite song to play was My Immortal by Evanescence. It always was a fitting song to play after school. I didn't exactly fit in the whore/gangster status quo. I was a gamer, not a complainer, simply put.
After a few minutes of playing, I decided to leave my guitar, and head into the living room, and log on to my sisters laptop. As always, the first site I visited was Facebook. My friends from the town over and several other states always kept me company on here, although today, I had received no notifications. So, I left, and traveled onto my favorite site, KH13.com
The first thing that greeted me was "Kingdom Hearts 3D nominated for VGawards!" No surprise there. I then headed to the forums, where I talked to Goddess Koko, who reminded me once more, that she was perfect. That's when it happened.
A message popped up onto the screen. Not the usual Windows notification, but a non-bordered one. It was a simple message, but one that can send shivers down the spine of any internet user.
"Goodbye"
A closer look at the window would reveal the image of Troll Face.

A Joker, I thought.
And at that moment, everything disappeared.

Sort of a boring beginning, but don't all great stories start slow?
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you will enjoy the other chapters as well.
