(Prologue II: Seeing the World through the Eyes of Someone who's World has been turned Upside Down)
My name is Jeremy. It is Wednesday, July 10, 2006. It's my birthday and I just turned 16. I've been told to start writing down everything that happens to me starting with what happened today. I guess that they think someone else is going to read all this. Well… the only way to start off is telling you how this all started. Recently the government has passed a law saying that school will last all year. The only good thing that has come of that is every quarter we get a month off and every month we get about a week off. Another part of the law is that once you get in to High School you have to get a job. I've had two jobs so far and I hated them both, which is why I quit… Ok, I was fired but I was going to quit. Anyway, this morning I got a package in the mail from my new 'job'. There was something about the package that bothered me. The symbol on the package, showing what company it belongs to, was shaped like something I had seen before, like a weird upside down cross-heart combination. In the package I found things that would be extremely weird to most people. Only problem I had with a company sending me all these items was that I hadn't signed up for any thing yet. The items included a pendent shaped like crystal that was straight until the ends that had been bent in two directions, except it had a key shaped item inside of it. The other item that made me think was the key shaped item on a chain. All these keys made me think that a key company wanted me to work for them. I know it sounds weird with all this crap mysteriously showing up at my house but I never said that it was going to be a normal story. Anyway all that was left in the box was a blank piece of paper. Well at first the paper was blank until I looked at it again.
