Before

All I wanted...was to be alone. I wanted somewhere to escape from this world. That's how I found it. How I found the truth of my unhappiness. And how I found a way...to escape that ludicrous world. It was about three pm; I was waiting outside for the answer. The answer to all my problems. Watching the cars pass by me I waited on the stoop of my house.

"Get in here you wretch!" HE snickered from inside the house. He...my father. The person my mother left me with. "I'm waiting for something..." I answered to him. He slammed the door shut. After about an hour the mail truck arrived. I walked toward it and took a huge parcel. I paid the mailman and watched him drive down the street in his truck.

I walked inside my dark house, trying to avoid my father. I entered my room and locked the door. I sat down in front of my monitor, wondering...Is this the place...where my mother is calling for me? After about two hours I had played "The World" for the first time. It was an amazing place where I could do anything. Where no one could tell me what to do! I logged out at about twelve thirty AM. I had gotten myself so wrapped up in the game I lost track of time. I went to sleep soon after. I heard voices, voices that had been haunting me for the past few weeks and voices....I will never forget.

Tsukasa! The first voice yelled. The voice of a young woman. Then that of a man. I no longer have to listen to what you have to say! The man seemed to be talking...yelling at the woman.

I woke up that morning drowned in sweat. Later in the afternoon I came home from school, only to find my dad at the table. He stood up and lunged at me. He grabbed my hand tightly and yelled at me "How much did that game cost!? I gave you no permission for such a thing!"

I quickly knew what he was talking about. He found out I had bought "The World." I escaped from his grip and he hit me. I quickly picked myself up and ran to my room. I locked it very tightly and logged in. I could hear the banging on my door, even inside the game. Wanting to escape I just entered a random area.

I ran toward the dungeon. Somehow, all the magic portals disappeared as I came close to them. I didn't stop to think, I just kept running. At the final room I reached a treasure chest. I slowed down and walked toward the chest. Nearing it, a cat appeared before me. It was floating in mid-air and moving its lips, but no words.

A girl was hiding behind a wall watching. "A cat?" she asked herself. The cat moved out of the way and beckoned me to go towards the chest. I neared it and opened it softly. I looked inside and my eyes widened as I was taken to a stream of data. The pain. It was horrible pain that I had never felt before. On the outside I was also feeling pain. I yelled and screamed at the top of my lungs. My father brought the door crashing down as I collapsed. The head set fell on the floor near me. My father stood there in horror looking at me on the floor. Then he smiled and snickered. He called the paramedics and when they arrived he left, Smoking a cigarette. This is how I, Tsukasa...was born.

This is just a fiction I made up on how Tsukasa fell into a Coma and all that. Its really short and not all that good because I did it real quick but R&R please.
