For those of you reading this for the first time, you can ignore this. To those of you who have read this before, or are following this story, note that I have decided to add spacing, as I wanted to re-read this and just couldn't with the text format. This is NOT a remake, and the story WILL be the same, but feel free to do as I will do and look back at my first great accomplishment!

Prologue:

My names Alex, and you'll never believe what I saw…actually, what I LIVED through. Well, might as well start from the beginning.

It was a day like any other; I was out in the field with some of my new technology. Yea, I'm a scientist at 15, big deal. Anyways, as I was walking, I thought I heard a strange noise. I stopped in my tracks, but nothing was there, so I decided to keep walking. Then it came again, only louder, it seemed like thunder, but sounded far away. I looked up and it was a clear sky, so I shrugged it off and went to the center of the big open field. I put my machine down, and looked at the bright green grass.

I sighed, "So peaceful…" I laid down and decided to take a nap, making sure to activate my storm-detecting alarm, and fell asleep.

I woke up to a large clap of thunder, and realized my clothes were soaked…and it was raining hard. Most of my machines were ruined, but a water proofer activated over my newest one, and I went under the mechanical umbrella. The machine that had been saved was a prototype teleported/shrink ray, and I never got to test it out. I held onto the umbrella, though I have no clue why, and grabbed the tele-ray. What I didn't expect, was my umbrella was then struck by lightning, and I passed out.

Sorry it's on the short side, I'll be updating every time I finish a chapter
