Prologue

A little boy, who looked like 10 years old, was running away from a town, that was consumed in fire. He had bruises and scars all over him.

tick, tick

"I got to get this thing off of me!" Thought the little boy as he ran. There was a strange collar on his neck. He was struggling to get it off.

tick, tick

"No! This can't be happening!" He thought, he was pulling on the collar.

Tick, tick

"No!" he shouted. The ticking started to get faster.

Tick, tick, tick

"No!" he shouted again. He shouted it again and again.

Tick, tick, tick, tick

The ticking got faster and faster. "It's going to blow any second! I need to get it off! Now!" he shouted to himself.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I WANT TO LIVE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, tears were streaming down his face.

Tick, tick,……tick,…It then stopped ticking. The boy stopped dead in his tracks….….…beep!

BOOM!
