chapter 1
I wasn't exactly sure what happened that day... Just the feeling. A feeling I will hold dear. That-that day I...

I was 8 years old in counting. small, scrawny, and weak. Perfect combination! I had been lucky enough to confiscate dollar bill, which was just laying on the ground. In the middle of the street to be exact. Don't worry, the road was rarely busy since most people hid close to the buildings in case of a sighting. Random sightings of unusual 'things' flying around and inflicting some major damage. It had been quiet for a week now, but people still feared the worst.
I raised my new fortune to the sky and begin to charge to the Thompson's candy shop when... I halted. A deep tugging within me kept me from my goal. I had the power to walk, but I felt like I had forgotten how.
'Move dang it! Move!' I thought to myself.
That's when I first saw him. From where I stand, I could only see the outline of the stranger. His head hung low and shoulders drooped. His feet dragged across the black asphalt street as he made his way through town. The small man's movement was sluggish and unsteady. Couldn't blame him. His attire wasn't suitable for 15 degrees below zero. Thin long blue sleeves and a... Vest? Now that I took the time to think about, his clothing was certainly alien to this part of the world.
I dragged my attention back to the candy shop then back at the strange... Wait! Strange PURPLE man that was now much closer. His features much more visible. Now I realized using 'alien' to describe the clothes was just a fraction of the oddities a single man possessed. His ears were elongated with pointed tips. Upon his head stood a tall, thick, white Mohawk. There was a circular earring upon each of his lobes. Then ... there was his face. Dainty. If it weren't for his body structure, I would have easily mistaken him for a female.
Step by step he drew closer and closer. The purple man's eyes were brimmed red and... was he crying? He's crying! He continued his walk, brows furrowed and the cold nipping at his nose. He brought his head up from its slumped position just to let it fall at the mere sight of a man off to his left. The foreigner blinked, a tear fell. The moment the tear met the ground, it froze. He repeated this process with different people each time.
It seemed to me that this man felt... Sad. Don't judge my simplicity! I'm only 8 mind you! And as an 8 year old, you classified moods under happy, sad, mad, bad... Wow, mostly negatives.
I took a deep breath as he neared my position. A momentary fog puffed into the air and quickly dissipated. That's when he looked up. Directly at me. I, being without my manners, just stared. Now, don't call me crazy but... those onyx eyes. I don't know how to explain it exactly. I guess I got lost in those eyes.
The world became a tinted black haze. It could only be described as a state of dreary. Though I never thought that possible. Movement slowed drastically as if walking through mud. People became shadows and whispers that echoed through my ears. those eyes... Saw something beyond normal. The whispers grew and formed into earthquaking shrieks. Those eyes were locked on mine. The shrieks were jumbled and unorganized. some how I was able to stay focused with all the noise. Shakes became ringing. Ringing became silence. Not a calming silence but a disturbing silence. Shivers climbed up and down my spine. The odd man still stood in front of me. His face lit up with the pale light. An inching smile replaced is hurt.
Then he spoke to me in a silk washed voice, "Its not that bad... Once you get use to it."
I didn't understand. Where was I? Then I had the urge to ask a bothersome question. "Not bad? then why were you crying?" I stated confused. I must have said something wrong. He looked away and the world return to its normal cold self... And without another word, he left. Once again, I was alone in the street with my dollar and no clue on what just happened.
