My name is Cleopas and I'm an inter-dimensional time traveller, and I'm here to tell you my story.

I guess it all started on my 18th birthday… The sun was shining and I had just left my apartment to go to the place where me and my family were gonna meet. I had totally forgotten that it was my birthday because I had been so engrossed in my work, so I was a little surprised when they just told me to meet them at grandmas for a little surprise. I had just turned a corner when I saw that the street I was gonna walk on was blocked so I started contemplating my options.

Either I walk through the roadblock, take another shortcut or walk the long way round. After a few minutes of thinking I decided to take another shortcut that was through an alleyway that would get me past the roadblock pretty fast. I started walking a little faster than I had been walking before so that I wouldn't let them wait for me too long, so when I tripped on something big that appeared from nowhere I was pretty surprised.

Because of my fast reflexes I had just enough time to put my hands up to stop my fall before I hit my face on the ground. I stood up quickly and looked back to see what it was that tripped me and I was definitely not disappointed when I saw what it was. There on the ground lay a little black box. I was so intrigued and very curious when I read what it said on the top of the box.

"Express delivery for Cleopas, in case of arriving early do not open until 18th birthday". I didn't understand who would send it or why it said arriving early, neither did I know how it happened to be here. So I decided to open it and when I did I got the biggest surprise of my very boring and normal in the little black box was… darkness.

The inside of the little black box seemed to literally spew out darkness. I decided to reach inside and see if there was any kind of machine that was doing it. So when my hand touched some kind of orb I took a hold of it and brought it up to my face to examine it. When I looked into the orb it suddenly broke apart and the darkness that seemed to be contained inside it engulfed me. I tried to scream for help but the darkness muffled all sounds I could make. After about 2 minutes all the darkness had been absorbed into me and I felt better then I had my entire life.

I thought that I had just dreamt it all up because sometimes my daydreams get pretty real but just in case I decided to look where the box had been, but it was gone. I shrugged it off for now and decided to run the rest of the way to grandmas. But I got a pretty big surprise when I started running. Because, I have never had good stamina in all my life, but suddenly I could run all the way to grandmas without even breaking a sweat.

I now knew that whatever I absorbed had definitely changed me. But I decided to figure that out after this surprise-party. So I went in and everybody shouted surprise as soon as I had entered through the door. The party was nice and we had cake, but time went fast and soon it was time for me to leave. I said goodbye and decided to run all the way home. When I reached the alleyway I was in before, instead of the black box there were 2 punks blocking my way. I kindly asked them,

"Could you please move I'd like to get home before it gets too late"

Both the punks just stood there staring at me for a little while until one of them decided to mug me. He took out a pocketknife from his jeans pocket and aimed it at me. He then said,

"Give me all your money or you'll get a free surgery."

I decided that instead of wasting my time with the wannabe muggers, I'd rather go the long way round. I started turning around without answering him and then I walked away slowly, I might not want to waste my time with them but there's no point in acting like a coward because he drew a knife.

Before I had gotten far I suddenly felt a tingly feeling in my stomach and something warm was running down from the tingly area. Time started slowing down when I looked down and finally registered what had happened. He had stabbed me in the gut. I looked back and saw that he had very cold eyes, no remorse at all. Though apparently his buddy had ran away because he was too scared. Just when I was about to fall into unconsciousness, I heard a voice that sounded very evil calling to me. At first I didnt hear what the voice was saying just dark mumbling until finally the voice became clearer than ever.

"ClEoPaS! CoMe To ThE DaRkNeSs!"

Before I knew what had happened, 2 snakelike appendages came out of my shoulders and attacked the wannabe mugger. The last thing I saw before I finally welcomed sweet unconsciousness was the snake like appendages ripping out the guy's heart and then eat it.

When I opened my eyes I was greeted by a very mysterious sight.
