Introduction
Would you like to play a game?
Even if you don't, you will be playing.
You will be entering the world and whatever happens, happens. You see people like to say that their stories connect to someone else, but I ask myself, why would they.
So. I'll offer you something no one, not the people from your world and certainly not the people from this new world ever gained.
A choice.
Ho, don't worry I won't leave you defenseless, but I won't make you unstoppable either. So.

"Tick"
Tock-Tock- tock.
The sound of a speeding train reached his ears and he found himself in an unknown place looking at a train heading towards his direction, he could feel his breath stopping in his chest.
His mind stopped working and it was only his instinct to run that managed to save his life.
So the moment the train was about to hit him, was the same moment he moved out of the way.
"Gasp- gasp- gasp" he struggles to breathe, as he looks at the metal floor beneath him, however, he doesn't just notice this, he notices that his hands are smaller and younger.
As he struggles to stand up, he not only notices that bot the walls around him and the ceiling above him are made of metal.
He tries to walk but the moment he tries to walk, he immediately falls to the ground, and it's at this moment that he realizes his clothes are too big for him.
Somehow he has not only become younger but also smaller.
"The world has been activated" he hears a voice that seems to come from the inside of his head say before a map appears in front of him.
It's strange because, even though he immediately touches his face to take whatever is on it off, he finds that he isn't wearing any kind of helmet or glasses, and yet there is a small map in front of him.
The map itself is a small black square, with a small white line and a blue dot inside it.
He has seen enough cartoons and played enough games to know that this was the basic map people were given when they entered any game.
Regardless he doesn't question any of it, he can hear more trains coming but he doesn't know from which side they are coming from, so he begins to move.
Every time a red dot appears on the map he hides where ever he can, each time the feeling of danger overwhelms his need of looking around corners or trying to look at whatever is walking past him.
He only starts to walk again when the red dots are far away from his location and the grows or scratching sounds that the creatures make can no longer be heard.
Finally, after what feels like hours he sees a light at the end of the tunnel and so he begins to walk faster, he tries to run, but his pants are too big and so any attempts he makes to move faster than he normally would immediately make him fall.
Regardless some people see him and rush to pull him out of the tunnel.
He can feel their overly grown hands on his shrunken ones and his eyes widen as he sees the giant hole in what could only be a metal ceiling in the sky.

[Point of view change]
I watched the people leave, I can't blame them considering where I arrived doesn't look like a place where people would normally help each other for free, and if they do, it's only because its broad daylight and people are watching.
That means I need to find a safe place and hide, still, I can't complain, two of them were nice enough to give me something to eat and drink.
At least I can see what I'm doing now, so I can use something to tie my pants and my shirt, that way they don't get in my way.
This place is worse than the place I grew up in, but regardless, I did grow up poor and my parents showed me how to make the best of whatever I have.
I can hear the train arriving and it immediately stoops, at least somethings here are familiar, the train is a train, but it's different, I can't describe how but somehow I know its different from the ones I have seen before.
The people are leaving now, I didn't even hear the doors open and yet again I'm all alone in this strange world.
Still might as well look around, and at plain view, there's nothing interesting here, it's just a giant empty building with no real walls, just dividers that keep people from falling off the platform and a ceiling to keep the rain away.
There are a small set of stairs that lead down and a path that looks like it heads into town, but I don't want to follow it.
I've seen the movie, the kid walks into an unknown place, the people either seem friendly or overly aggressive ad the kid goes missing, never to be seen again.
No thanks, I think I'll avoid the pace at least until I'm certain it's safe enough to walk in.
Still, I can't stay here forever, it will get dark and monsters come out at night, however, I can't help but notice that there's as a mall blue dot on my help screen.
No, not just one small blue dot but two of them, but why couldn't the map pick them up, until I was near the stairs.
As I get near the two blue dots, I notice they belong to a woman with long brown hair and a long green dress laying on the ground, and a little girl that's wearing a bright pink dress.
The girl's hair is darker than the woman's, but anyone can see that the woman is the girl's mother.
"Please save Aerith" she says as I get near her.
I have to stop walking as I hear the sound of something breaking behind me and I notice that another blue dot is right behind me.
I immediately make my hands into a fist and prepare myself to fight, but I know that judging by the size of my hands, right now as I am, anyone can render me unconscious if they wanted to.
I lower my hands as I notice a woman with long blond hair looking at the two with a worried expression, the blond woman doesn't say anything she just walks over to the injured woman and carries the little girl.
The girl cries, but she should go with someone that will take of her.
I'm about to walk away when the woman graves my right hand and pulls me with her, her grip isn't anywhere near tight, so I can escape whenever I want, but for some reason, I don't have the strength to do so.
So I allow her to take me wherever she wants, and I notice that the map I have is growing, good, that way I can escape if I have to and I won't get lost in the proses.
We walk past people that murmur, but both the girl and the woman don't pay any attention to them, they just ignore the people's gossip.
We arrive at a small house made of what looks like wood, but it's not wood, its some sort of metal that only looks like wood.
The woman unlocks the door and walks inside, and places the little girl on a chair before she turns on the stove and begins to cook.
"You two must be hungry" she says before she turns to look at me.
"Especially you" she adds before turning off the stove and placing to plates filled with fried rice in front of me and the girl.
Neither of us said anything and we both began to eat.
I noticed a set of tools in a corner of the room, I watch the woman leave the room and I just keep on eating.
I soon finish eating and I walk to the tools before I grave a few of them and walk outside.
This body, the way it is now, isn't good for much, I'm too small and too weak, but it's not completely useless, I can still do certain things and one of those things is fixing broken machines.
I don't know what happened here, but for some reason, nearly everything here is broken, on our way here, from what I noticed when I wasn't paying attention to the map, I noticed that the buildings were either built on or used broken machine parts in them.
As I look at the town I can't help like if I feel like I've gone home, no that's wrong this place isn't like my old home its worse, a lot worse, but at least it's familiar.
I can see an old tractor, at the side of the house, and as I walk up to it, I notice that the thing still has the keys on it.
So I do the only thing I can do, I get on the machine and turn the key, and yep the thing is dead.
I can see something that looks like something like a hood and I press it, the sound of metal creaking reaches my ears and two red circles appear in front of me.
i struggle to move from the operator's seat to the engine but at least it's not impossible.
From the looks of it, the tractor is just old, I can fix this with one of two things lemon or rust remover, and judging by the town both are nearly impossible to get here.
Regardless I carefully get off the tractor and walk back inside the woman's house, the girl is playing with some sort of doll and I walk up to the refrigerator and luckily for me, there are a lot of lemons.
I take one use a knife to cut it in half and walk back to the tractor and the moment I'm in front of the rusted pars I begin to rub the lemon on them until all of the rust falls off.
Again I make my way to the seat and turn the key, the engine struggles to turn itself on, once twice and finally it turns on.
"I notice the blond woman is staring at me, and she is holding what looks like a set of clothes.
"Thanks for the food" I say to her before I begin to walk into the town, it's better if I leave, this entire scenario, feels like some kind of opening scene.
"Waite, stay with us for a few days and if you don't lie it here you can leave," the woman says to me and I feel a tiny hand grave mine.
The girl is pulling back inside, I have to get away from them, but for some reason, I don't have the strength to do so.
I know I'm going to regret this but I let the girl pull me back inside, but before we go inside the house the woman hands me the clothes she was carrying.
