Star: if you're going to ask then yes we've or I've rather been listening to too much Headphone Actor by IA...
Kagaya: and it gave you this idea?
Star: I CAN'T HELP IT! oh and whoever can guess who the voice is will get a cookie!
Kagaya: ==
Roze: they don't own anything but their OCs which only appears in this chapter...
Today is such an average day and I didn't really have any obstacle on this day. Kagaya didn't bother me today and his sister told me that they were both going to the park to play and asked if I wanted to come yet I denied not really liking the heat. I was playing something with my PSP and I had the house all to myself.
Yup I was bored.
I didn't really have anything to do so I turned the radio on top of my television on while I put my game in pause. I went back to my chair and then suddenly a sobbing sound came from the radio and I suddenly heard;
"It's very unfortunate that I have to say this, but the world is going to end today…"
It was some country's president that has spoken with tears, and he said the world was going to end today…
Outside I saw a huge flock of birds cover up the crescent moon which started to appear and fly away to some unknown place as if it knew the world was going to end.
I dropped my half-finished game without a save; a scarcely-touched textbook lay forgotten on my desk. I didn't care about any of those as my body started to tremble. For my attempt to stop my body from trembling I swiftly took my headphones and put them on my ear. Just as I was listening to an obscure artist, a number playing an unknown title, just as it reached my ears I suddenly heard;
"You want to survive right?"
What?
"Wha-" I said and was about to take them off, but it cut me off telling me to run. I wasn't thinking right; my legs had moved on their own and did what the voice, in my headphones, told me to do. I went down, swiftly putting my shoes on and ran out my house passing my mother, who was about to open the door and come in, yet I didn't stop to her calls even as she screamed my name. Waving over the wriggling world, the skyscraper seemed to tremble as I ran pass it, it was a weird sight to see yet I didn't stop. I heard the voice once again;
"Go…"
It says…
I didn't know who this voice was and yet it sounded so oddly familiar like I'm supposed to know who it belongs to, but…I just can't figure it out. With those thoughts I was about to slow down but then I heard the voice once more once a hill made its view to me.
"If you cross that hill, 20 seconds, you'll know what I mean, for better or worst"
I was confused but it spoke again.
"Don't doubt, just listen close- go 20 seconds ahead…"
I listened to it and followed, running towards the hill trying to reach it with all the speed I had and also never knew I had.
The intersection was crowded, of course; man, woman, child it didn't really matter anymore. I was buried under the people's yells and babies' cries. I heard rioting people complain about the president saying the world was going to end and I also heard a sobbing girl who sounded awfully familiar, I saw Kagaya yelling with the riot while Star was on her knees crying and sobbing while a priest was praying and yet I passed them all by, only giving a small glance yet not stopping from running. There was only one person who didn't join any of them and was heading the other way, towards what was beyond that certain hill.
That person was me.
Again the voice came ringing into my ears through my headphone and it persisted;
"Only twelve minutes left…"
Twelve minutes? Is that the time until the world will end? If everything was going to go up and vanish;
"Then I have no other way…" I said as if I was replying to the voice and ran faster than before.
The chorus of shrieks and screams everywhere had turned to tearful eyes in ten seconds. I had my doubts, but no matter who did what…
There was no ending humanity's song…
"Run, run, there's one minute left!"
The voice shrieks but I couldn't even hear it by then for I was too caught up in my running, also;
The hill which I sought to cross was right before me…
My breath faint yet I finally arrived. There was something strange, there right before me was a wall which projected the sky. Behind it, I saw scientists in white applaud at me.
"Magnificent" they said-
But…
From there, I saw the town was some kind of experimental facility and I couldn't believe it. Has my life been a lie?
"We no longer need this"
I heard the scientist and watched as they calmly tossed a bomb. From there I was suddenly told that I have been living my whole life in a little world, in a box. After they had told me, I couldn't do anything but just stare, dumbfounded at the burnt wreckage that had been the town which I used to live in. I thought of everything of how my life was or how I believed it to be.
I was a junior high school freshmen, with a mother and two best friends who liked to bother me a lot and follow me around to see if I had anything interesting to do. My favorite past time is playing video games and I owned a cat I picked up from the streets. My name or what I think my name is…Higurashi Natsume….
Suddenly from the headphones, at my ears, I faintly heard the voice;
"Gomen…Kyousuke…"
Kyousuke…
Why did it sound so familiar…
Tsurugi…
Tsurugi…Kyousuke…
"It's my name…isn't it?"
Star: ... *collapses since she was out of Snickers and Mountain Due*
Kagaya: well that's done oh and tell us if this should be continued or not alright?
