Digital Limbo
Prelude
There is Earth. We live here. When we die we go either to Heaven or Hell, depending on our choices in life. But what if our good choices are equal with those of wrong choices. Then where do we go? To Heaven? No, but not to Hell either. To another place, Limbo. But to make matters stranger, what if you found a portal into Limbo? What if you were sent there not because of death, but of greater forces that were unbeknown to man? A great evil was coming.
Chapter 1
Matt woke up and rubbed his eyes. Sunlight was streaming through his blinds. The clock flashed 12:00, the power had been shut off. Matt rolled over in bed. It was a Saturday, one day after he had found something that had chilled him. Two things to be exact. One was that his girlfriend hadn't died a year ago. Another is that he knew how to get to her. He still didn't believe it. Izzy said it wasn't real. It didn't exist. Matt sat up in bed, looking at Mimi's picture. All he could think about was her death for a year. She and her friend was mugged and in the struggle Mimi was tossed off a bridge outside the town. Matt learned the news from her friend after she escaped her captives. The police never believed the story because a body was never found. Some believed that the body floated out to sea following the river. Others believe that she survived but was recaptured by the men. The men were never caught. But after finding out that there was a gateway to another world at the bottom of the gorge yesterday, he had a troubling vision last night. He saw himself and another walking to the portal. He and the other talked about going in but they decided not to. As the decided otherwise, an invisible force shoved them in. That's when he woke up in cold sweat. He got up and slid a pair of army green pants on. He slipped his bracelets on and his cross nail necklace. Looking in his closet he grabbed a shirt and pulled it on. Grabbing a glass of orange juice he picked up the phone and dialed Izzy's number. He sat there, on the kitchen counter, sipping his juice, staring out the window at the birds in the tree. 'Such happy lives,' He thought. "Hello?" Izzy picked up. "Hey you dressed?" "Uh, yeah." Matt slipped off the counter. "Good I want you to meet me by the bridge outside of town." Matt walked toward the door pulling on his shoes as he went. "Ok, be there in a jiff." They hung up. Matt flung the phone on the sofa as he walked out the door.
Being the oldest son in a divorced family he went with his dad. He really didn't mind, but sometimes he wanted someone there at least one time during the day when he saw his dad. He usually worked late in the television studio, getting the news ready for tomorrow or working on an assignment. But most of the time he didn't care if his dad came home at night or not. He took as well or better care of himself than his dad ever did. Matt opened the garage door. It was a short way to the bridge so he grabbed the bike instead of the car. Pulling out of the garage the dream came back into his head. A chill ran up his spine. The early morning sky was hazy from pollution. The sun was filtered by a thin layer of smog. Some clouds floated effortlessly in the sky. He turned out from the little community he was living in and headed down a dirt path thought the woods in the back of his community. As he peddled along the dream crept back into his mind. 'This has to be just a trick. When I'll get there will be nothing. No weird portal. No strange world on the other side. No mystical force to shove them in. Just a gully with a little trickling stream.' He pulled off the path and went along the riverbed. He spotted Izzy already at the spot. "Hey!" Izzy yelled out. Matt slid to a stop by him. "Well what are we doing here? Some crazy idea of yours?" He asked. Matt looked at the water. It moved slowly. "Toss a rock into the water." Izzy looked at him. "What?" "Toss a rock in the center of the river." He bent down to pick up a rock. "Ok." He tossed it toward the center. Matt's blood ran cold. There was no ripple in the water, no sound of a rock sinking into the depths. "What the hell?" Izzy exclaimed. "What just happened." Matt just stood there. Everything came to a stop. The wind died. The trees stood still. The world had stopped for him. Izzy's words sounded like a long slur of noise. He felt himself walking forward. One foot touched the water. His inner self tried to hold himself back. 'No you fool what are you doing?!' He felt a hand grab his arm but he shrugged it off. His vision blurred. He felt his foot go numb. Suddenly his vision blacked out. He felt a falling sensation. Perhaps this only led to death, yet he had chosen this path. All senses failed. Total darkness took over his body.
