(Chapter I: Dreaming of When Times Were Simple While Falling Through Space)
Dear Jeremy,
We would like to thank you for joining our company. Everything you need to start off working with us is included inside. If you have any questions please save them for the interview. Meet us at Thirteen Edward Street today right after school for job information and, hopefully, training to get you started right away.
Sincerely
Your future employers SG
P.S. The Pendent that was in the package, keep it on you at all time, it is extremely valuable.
I thought "what kind of job this is going to be?" I was going to find out after school. "…Damn it; I'm late for the bus. If I miss today I'll miss the tests I have to take and those are important." As I was running down the street I had the same thought I have had for awhile now "God… I got to get out of this town before I end up in a rut". Little did I know, that wish was about to be granted. As I got just got on the bus and sat down I knew that even though it seemed all the same, something was different, I just couldn't figure it out at the time. After the uncomfortable ride to school I waited for the start of the day so I could start waiting for the end of the day. Those "important" tests didn't seem as hard as the teachers were saying they were going to be. After school I decided to take my friend's bus home because his house was closer to 13 Edward Street than my house was. As I got off the bus I saw that the address was for an abandoned warehouse. I thought "maybe it was a wrong address. Well… I guess I'll check anyway. What could go wrong?" I push open the doors to find exactly what it was called… an abandoned warehouse, except for the piece of paper lying on the ground. "Great another one. What is going to be on it this time?"
Dear Jeremy,
We are so sorry that we are unable to meet here but we are stuck in traffic. If you still wish to speak with us, the pendent you got also functions as a phone. You can contact us with it by holding it up and saying (out loud) TT (this is our code name within the company). We hope you will still want to work us.
Sincerely,
You hopeful future employers SG
P.S. Yes, you will look stupid at first but you will get used to it.
"It's a phone too? I wonder if it has minutes or can I only call people in the company... Well here goes nothing. TT!!" Before I knew it I felt as if I was being sucked down into the ground. I tried desperately to get out but it was too late, I was on my way to another world.
