Hey, everyone! Here's the start of a Portal fanfic that I am putting up here for your viewing pleasure. Comments are appreciated, and reviews are much obliged, but I will NOT read flames. Constructive criticism, however, is accepted.
Anyway, onto the Prologue!
When I was young, I thought nothing could be worse in this world then it already was-turns out I was quite wrong.
The human race-Homo Sapiens-that had advanced from the primates and mammals of the prehistoric era and grew to dominate the third planet from the Sun had become corrupt with power and wealth. I had thought we as a species would become peaceful to our world, but we have merely rendered it to a shadow of its former, glorious self. It seemed like we would only destroy the planet we called our home and ourselves along with it.
Then the quarreling began.
Just like two bickering children fighting over the highest spot on the playground jungle gym, the human race began to fight amongst itself, driven only by the base emotions of hate, anger, greed and dominance against anyone that tried to stop them from living how they wanted to live. Entire armies were destroyed without a single regard for human life-the fighters and generals only wanted to feel the thrill of victory as they vanquished their foes to dust.
The final thing I remember before my period of silence was my hometown being destroyed by a small faction of marauding rebel humans. As I lay there, mortally on the brink of death itself, I can remember one final thought that echoed through my mind:
'I don't want to be a human anymore…I want the humans to suffer for the pain they have caused.'
What I least expected was a slightly robotic voice answering back to me—
"You no longer have to be…"
Quite short, I know, but this is just the beginning. Future chapters will be longer and contain more elements of where the main character is going to be.
R&R, please!
