PROLOGUE
Sometimes the hardest part of living with yourself is living with that knowledge that you can't control what goes on around you. For the most part, humans try to grasp the things that they can, to be in control of what they can. Some people want more control than what they're dealt, and so they extend their focus further. Sometimes they don't achieve what they had been reaching for. Other times, on rare occasions, everything we reach for falls straight into our laps. Sometimes, we just have to grab the control we seek and force it to listen to us. Force it to be the way we want it. However, when you mess with destiny, you're messing with quite a different force, one that will not tolerate being reckoned with. So the question is: Are your desires worth your soul?
For a Friday night, Milton Hyde Community College was unusually quiet. All the usual partiers had found somewhere else to party, leaving the surrounding areas deserted. It may seem, to those tired students on the campus who would take their time to study a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately, it was not. For there was someone awake that night of peace, and that someone was a certain Professor Sender, small town physics teacher with big dreams. As tired students snored away, the professor found himself quite on the verge of something extraordinary.
Professor Sender took another look at his notes before crossing over the room, throwing open his closet door. "Not much longer now," He whispered obsessively under his breath. Inside the seemingly normal closet was a set of machinery and technology far more advanced than anything thus created.
The professor began to fiddle with the wiring before rushing out and returning to his computer. He began to open his software, typing in dates and digits as he tried to get everything ready. Once he was assured that everything was settled in he snatched up a piece of paper, scribbled a note, and started for the closet.
Momentarily he stopped and darted to his cabinets where a picture had been kept on with magnets. He tore down the picture and shoved it into his bag. Then he took one last, frantic look around the classroom, and then he stepped inside the closet and slammed the door shut. Several seconds later a bright purple light could be seen through the cracks in the door, and then the door shot open, revealing a normal closet lacking any technology whatsoever. The only sign that there had been something there at all was a strange piece of metal, almost hidden beneath a mop.
It glowed a moment, pulsing with electricity, and then fell dull once more.
AN: Sorry it's so short, guys. I planned for this to be longer, but it came as rushed as Professor Sender felt, lol. Hope you guys like, and PLEASE REVIEW – for this chap, at least. I need to know if I'm wasting my time or not.
