The World Ends With You


Walking through the streets of Shibuya, I want to let out a scream. All around me, people. Everywhere, spewing their values and ideals at each other. I'm standing in a crowd, waiting for the light to turn green so we can cross. The light flashes, and we walk across the Scramble. Everyone is talking. Always, packed in the streets like sardines. I can't stand it. I can't see, I can't breath. I shout. "Outta my face. You're blocking my view!" People all around me, they don't even hear. I keep walking. I hit AMX, there's music and conversation. I can't stand it. Everyone, everywhere in this city. "Shut up!" I shout, "Stop talking! Just go the hell away!" I keep walking, through the crowds of people, annoying, stupid, blind people, and I hit the only peaceful, quiet place in the city, the mural wall at Udagawa. I mutter to myself, "All the world needs is me..." and I say, to the quiet, "I got my values... so you can keep yours, all right?" I lift my hands to the headphones around my neck, and slide them up and over the spikes in my hair, and let them rest on my ears. "I don't get people," I find myself saying. "Never have... never will,"

I open my eyes. I'm on the concrete, face down, in the Scramble. I stand, slowly. I realize, I'm holding something. I take a look in my hand, and there's a black pin with a white skull in it. "Hm?" I flip it, catch it. And then, all at once, a hundred voices are ringing through my head. "Huh? What the..." and then, it hits me. "I can hear voices in my head!" I think to myself, 'What just happened?' Looking back at the pin in my right hand, I think, 'And where'd this pin come from? … I wonder if there's a connection...' I flip the pin one more time, and the voices come rushing back into my mind. 'Voices! Definitely voices! But why?' I think to myself, and then realization hits me. 'Am I hearing peoples thoughts? What the hell IS this pin?' I hear a shrill beep coming from my pocket, and check it. I pull out the source to find a cellphone. "Whose phone? Mine?" I read the text message out loud, Reach 104. You have sixty minutes. Fail, and face erasure. -The Reapers I smile. "Oh, that's cute. See ya, spam. Deleted," I say, and then another beep. The message is back. "Huh? Still there... It's like junk mail from hell." Suddenly, I feel an intense burning sensation in my right hand. "Oww! My hand... Huh?"

Looking at my hand, I see a timer, counting down from sixty minutes. 59:49. 59:48. Taking a look around, I see odd, tattoo-like symbols floating around in the air. "Hn? What?" Green frogs as big as your head with tattoo-like hind legs emerge from the symbols. "F... frogs?" I ask as one lunges at me. It jumps off of me, digging the claws at the end of it's feet into my skin. "Oww! What the... They attacked me! What do they want with me? D-down froggie..." I say, getting afraid. The frogs chase me, on my heels like they do this for a living. Another one lunges at me, and hits. "Ungh! What the hell is going on! Somebody! Help!" I shout, getting desperate. The people, they ignore me, walking along like I don't even exist. "Hey! Everybody... stop ignoring me! What is this place?" Another hit. "Crap! I gotta run!"


Sorry it's so short, but I didn't want to get too far into it so early, and I wanted to gradually get into it...
