June 18, 2020. Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia. Highway Road. Night.

Troy Meriwether was listening to music on his iPod. His family was traveling to Delaware to meet his uncles and aunts. His uncle's name was Louis and his aunt's name was Viola. Troy and his sister Sherry have only seen their uncle Louis and aunt Viola once or twice. This was their third time seeing their uncle and aunt. Troy was bored, looking out the window as the trees rolled by on the side of the hill, imaging what it would be like to hop from tree to tree like a ninja. He was 14 years old. His sister Sherry was almost 18 years old. Troy was Caucasian. He had blue eyes. He had auburn hair. He used to wear contacts. Troy quit wearing contacts after realizing that the contacts might damage his sight. Troy was wearing a blue Adidas hoodie over a red T-Shirt

Sherry was also Caucasian. She had brown hair. She had hazel eyes. She was staring off into space. Sherry wasn't really looking forward to seeing her uncle and aunt. She knew she had no choice. She was bored. Normally, Sherry would be on her cell phone. But, since there was obviously no reception out here in the mountains, her cell phone was essentially useless. Their parents were driving the car. Troy and Sherry's father's name was Nathaniel Meriwether. Nathaniel used to work for the Air Force for 7 years. He was a fighter pilot. When Nathaniel retired from the Air Force, he went to Delaware, where he met a woman named Mary Gold. Mary and Nathaniel fell in love. They got married. They had 2 children: Troy (named after Nathaniel's favorite movie, Troy) and Sherry (named after Nathaniel's favorite song: Sherry by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons). And the rest was history

Troy was currently listening to his favorite pop song: High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco. It was his all time favorite song. He also liked Pumped Up Kicks, Blinding Lights, and HandClap. Troy was playing on his PlayStation Vita. He was playing The Sly Collection. The Sly Cooper Collection is the first and only handheld Sly Cooper game in existence. It was a cool game. Sly Cooper was one of Troy's favorite video game franchises, second only to Gears of War, Mass Effect, Portal and Tomb Raider. Troy was also a fan of old retro objects from the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's.

It was pitch black outside. The Meriwether family came from Columbus, Ohio. Going from Ohio to Delaware was a breeze by car. The family just got done eating dinner a restaurant. The hotel was only 70 miles away. They had been driving for about 25 minutes. Sherry was sleeping. Troy was now listening to Van Halen. He eventually got tired of playing his Sly Cooper game on the PlayStation Vita. He stared into space for a while. He was drifting off to sleep.

"Mom, are we there yet?" Troy asked his mother.

"No. We'll reach the hotel in a couple of hours." Troy's mother said to Troy.

"Ok." Troy said.

"Dad." Troy said to his father.

"Yes, Troy?" Nathaniel asked his son.

"Are we going to be okay?" Troy asked his parents. "There are thousands of deer out here. I don't wan't us to accidentally hit one and it sends us crashing down the hill.

"You've got nothing to worry about, sweetie." Troy's mother said. "Dad is driving very carefully."

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a deer showed up. Nathaniel tried to stop the car in time but couldn't. The car hit the deer, sending the car spiraling out of control. The car hit the railing it went tumbling down the hill. Sherry and Troy were scared. It tumbled a few times before landing on the ground with a sickening, metallic crash. The interior was smashed. The car was totaled. There was a ringing in Troy's ears. A ringing that wouldn't stop. Troy tried to cover his ears, but he found out that he couldn't move his arms. He turned his head toward his sister. His sister was barely conscious. Troy reached toward his sister to feel her pulse. It was slow. Troy struggled to get up. His headphones were busted. His iPod was barely functioning. His PlayStation Vita was still working, despite the crash.

Troy just sat there in his seat for a minute. His parents were probably dead. His head was bleeding. His shirt was torn. Thank god Troy was in his seat belt. If he hadn't had his seat belt on, he would've been dead. Troy took off his seat belt. The ringing in his ears continued. He tried to get out of the car. The door was locked, obviously. Suddenly, Troy's PlayStation Vita flickered to life. It was flashing lights like crazy, which was very unusual for the PlayStation Vita to do, as it never had flashing lights. The light flashed faster and faster. A blinding flash surrounded the car. The car was enveloped in a blue void. Troy passed out. He had no idea that he would soon be in one of his favorite video game series: Sly Cooper.
