CJ's POV
It has been 98 years since we built the walls to keep out the titans. Oh, sure we hear all about the horrors of the titans but we are safe and snug in our three walls: Sina, Rosa, and Maria. I pondered about the titans as I held a knife in my hand. I had just robbed a rich family about two hours ago and I think the military police are after me. Whatever, it's not like doing this will help humanity in anyway, shape or form. I yearn to go outside the walls and to find a great lake, a sea of fire, and find out if the legend of a nation outside of the walls is true. Whatever, I can't ponder this anymore. I have to go. I live in Shiganshina District, walled in outside of wall Maria.
I spent the next two years stealing, hiding, running, and killing to get by. While I was walking down the street I happened to catch a peculiar sight. It was a titan, deprived of skin, with its head sticking over the wall. I felt a rush of fear because the walls are sixty feet tall, but then a settled down and thought that there was no way that it could break down the wall. I see its hands grip the wall and I explode.
I don't actually explode, but the segment of the wall where the gate once stood was no more than a pile of rubble. I ran towards the wall and hear my grandmother in my head. She always said I was special but I didn't know what she meant. I am close to the hole when a titan comes from the hole and walks toward me. I didn't try to run and I slashed at it with my knife. A titan in armored plates ran by me, picked me up and ran. I didn't think about the nature of the titan as I was being carried. I KNEW I was going to die so I didn't resist and blacked out.
