Chiro hurried out of school, taking a variety of different alleys to avoid the school bullies. He had already sustained several bruises today; he didn't want any more trouble.
He soon found himself on the outskirts of the city.
'Great! Now I can explore!' He thought to himself.
He saw a can on the ground and started kicking it, looking around as he went.
The can hit something metal. Chiro looked up to find himself right in front of a gigantic robot.
"Wow!" He exclaimed as his mouth dropped open.
He touched the foot of the robot and it suddenly opened.
Chiro doubled back a second before smiling and thinking. 'Cool!'
He stepped inside and a chill immediately ran down his back. He walked forward and came to a red tube. He stepped into it and up he went.
He wandered about inside the robot for a bit until he came across a suspicious-looking switch.
He was inclined to push it down, and he did.
As a green force rushed into him, Chiro tried and tried to pull the switch back, ashamed by what he'd done. He knew he shouldn't have touched anything!
Finally, he just let go of the switch. He glanced at his watch and gasped.
'Oh no! I'm late for Supper! Old Man Wrinkles will beat the crap out of me!' He ran away from the switch at top speed, trying to find a way out.
Finally, he did, and he raced back to the orphanage as fast as he could.
Old Man Wrinkle was waiting for him.
That night, Chiro was beaten within an inch of his life.
He had no clue then, but it was worth it.
