Chapter 1: family gone

It was just a normal day. joyce's mother was cooking on the stove, making dinner. Suddenly a fire starts, though they had nothing to stop the fire with, so she tried to get out, but her mom got traped. Her dad ran to joyce. "We need to go." joyce leaps to her feet, bringing her brown bag with her, inside of it being three books, her penguin stuffy, and a hair tie.

Her dad is trying to help her mother, but gets trapped in the fire himself. Joyce is led out of the room to another room. "MOM! DAD!" she screams, crying. "You'll be safe now hun! ...never forget us joyce.." and that was the last thing she ever heard before the other room fell to the dark abyss of aperture.

Years later…

Joyce has changed her name to joyi. She doesn't want to think of her parents anymore.

"You have depression" joyi isn't shocked really. She knew something was wrong. "You need to do therapy joyce" joyi winces at hearing her old name. She leaves, going to her room and crying. "I don't want to be called that anymore...why don't they get that?"

She had one friend, sarah. She had golden eyes and joyi really liked her. Though one day, sarah left aperture, leaving joyi alone again.

The scientist where going to have her test, but they thought she was too stupid and didn't test her. This really got to her. "...i must be stupid if they don't want me to test.." but one day, they did start testing her.
