There is a widow, whose name is Sarah Bethany Faust and her son; Isaac lived in a small yet comfortable hill house. The house itself is one of the most beautiful houses in the Moriah Town as it has a colorful garden and clean lawn. It is also offers one of the magnificent, mist-covered view of the town during daybreak.
Sarah is a bubbly plump homemaker and tailor who have a big, friendly brown eyes and an illuminated, gleaming teeth whenever she is smiling. She has a bubbly personality and made friends with anyone else without awkwardness. She mends clothes for living and does housework diligently. When she has a free time, she likes to chatter with her fellow homemaker friends and watching the Christian broadcast on the television in the evenings.
Her only son Isaac, who is a cheerful, yet has a very fragile personality as he always bullied by the kids. He likes to drawing pictures and playing with his toys. Sometimes, whenever Sarah has a free time, she will look at her son's drawing and commented it that is the most beautiful piece of art she ever seen. She even encourages him to improve his drawing skills. She also hoped that one day he would become an artist. As it was a perfect life for Sarah and her son, great turmoil happened.
In some months later, a new television show, which entitled "Divine Prayers for the Christ", launched in the Christian broadcast. Sarah's curiosity was aroused about the new show, as it was the most frequent topic of conversation around the town as it was very entertaining. Her friends also frequently converse about it, especially the televangelist, who has a very great personality and a dreamboat.
As her curiosity reached its climax, Sarah decided to end it by watching the reruns of last episodes. Later in the evening, after she finished all of her works, she sit on the couch and took a television remote to turns it on. While she was watching the show, she remembered the topic of conversations between her friends earlier. They were right about it. She was spell bounded by it, as the show itself is the most entertaining show she ever seen compared to the older shows in the Christian broadcast. The televangelist is indeed is exactly the same person that she imagine before. She also learned the televangelist's name is Louis Natas Cypher. Even since then, she become addicted to it and watch the show almost daily.
Several weeks later, Sarah was watching the entertaining show as usual when suddenly; she heard a voice calling at her from the above. At first, she found it was very strange as there is no other person in the house than herself and her son. After she heard the voice for some several times, she has grown familiar to it. She even convinced herself that it is the one of the divine messengers of God's voice.
One day, the voice communicates with her. She firmly listened what it is saying and shocked. The voice told devastating news. Her only son, Isaac corrupted by sin due to all of the worldly possession he owned and ordered her to save her son. She obeyed its order and convinced to it that she will do her best to save her son. Then, she got off from the couch and rushing toward her son's room.
Isaac, who was playing with his toys, shocked when he saw his mother's unusual actions. He always know that his mother rarely get up from the couch while a show were broadcasting unless she wants to use the bathroom or to turn off the stove that she forgot to turn off in the kitchen. Caught by his curiosity, he put down his toys and sheepishly tailed his mother who is heading to his room.
When he reached at his room, he peeped at the door side for a clear view. He was shocked as he witnessed a devastating sight in his whole life.
He saw his mother hastily torn his Meat Boy and Time Fcuk posters off from the wall and throw them into the dustbin. When she done with the poster tearing, she unlocks his toy chest and opens it. Then, she put all of his toys into a big, black plastic bag. She also opened his closet and took all of his clothes into the plastic bag including his wearing right now. However, she left the torn, faded clothes, as she believes that baring your body often without a single thread around yourself is very sinful.
"You are not allowed to play with your toys anymore," his mother said.
"But why, mother?" Isaac asked.
However, his mother cast a frown at him and left without a word.
Some days later, Sarah heard the voice from the above again. This time, the voice tells her that her job not done yet and she is disappointing woman. Sarah shocked and protested to the voice that she had done as it asked. When she calmed down a bit, the voice told her that Isaac is still corrupted. It instructs her to isolate her son from all that is evil in the world and he must confess his sins for some years. The voice also told her that she rewarded greatly after she accomplished the final test. When she heard about it, Sarah smiled and said she has a faith on the voice. The voice pleased by her determination. She asked what her actions would be but the voice was suddenly disappeared from her mind. Sarah tried to communicate with the voice but no response. Sarah thinks about the reward and she smiled. However, it was not a sweet smile, but a mad man smile. Now, she knows what to do...
Isaac is sitting at the foot of the couch. He is staring at the empty floor. Suddenly a hand rested on his shoulder. He traced toward the hand and saw his mother.
"Mother?" said Isaac with a weak smile. However, all of sudden, Isaac found himself forcefully dragged toward his room by his own mother.
"Mother, please. Mother, you still love me right. Don't lock me, please," he pleaded while crying.
However, his pleas were fall into a deaf ear. Then, he shoved into his room and landed on the cold, hard floor. As he trying to get up, he heard the sound of his door locked. He tried to open the door forcefully with all his might but it does not budge. He realized that it cannot opened from inside.
He burst into tears as he banged the door, while hoping that his mother changed her mind and unlocked the door. However, his effort is useless as there is no respond after for some time. He whimpered as he lies down on the floor and curled into fetal position. Like a bird in the cage, he never seen again... (Cue sad violin song.)
Well, the prologue for this story is finished... My apologies if it was too long for a prologue. Now for some facts:
Meat Boy and Time Fcuk are other works by Mr. Edmund McMillen.
Isaac's mother name (Sarah) actually based on the Bible.
Isaac and his mother's last name (Faust) maybe based on the main character's name of literature book, "Dr. Faustus" or something like that (Google it, duh). (The "Faust" last name maybe significant and important in later chapters.)
Before you comment this and that, I made some changes from the original plot so it will become more realistic.
Enough for rambling thanks for reading :)
