Connor woke up and was feeling quite sad today

He was a 18 year old boy and unfortunately he'd had a very bad month

Within the last month he'd lost his cousin, his friends had all moved away and his mother was being kept at the hospital

She was always there and the doctors are saying it's not looking good for her

She keeps randomly collapsing and unfortunately she now suffers from dementia

Whenever she can come home she's always surprised how much everything had changed, except the house is the same as it always has been for the last 8 years

His mother always thinks he's still 10 years old and everytime she comes home it always gets emotional

His father is always busy

He works 3 jobs just to support himself, Connor and his sister

Conner also has a job but his sister is only 15

Life was hard but it was manageable most of the time

But we're not here to talk about Connors everyday life

No

We're here to see something extraordinary

On this particular day Connor was feeling more glum than usual

His mother was going to be brang home the following day

No doubt she won't recognise him and at the moment he just can't handle the emotions

He was always really close to his cousin

They had been best friends since they were babies

So when he was told his cousin had died of internal bleeding he was devastated

Like someone had taken a large chunk of your soul and had shredded it In Front of your face

That had been 5 days ago

As Connor walked down the road he let his eyes wander

A little bird sat on a fence and was chirping at the other bird flying around it

Probably it's mate

If his friends were still here they would say something funny to cheer him up

He considered texting them but it just doesn't feel the same

As he approached the train station he took out his ticket, swiped it on the machine and sit down on the bench

Opening the front pocket of his bag he reached in and pulled out his Nintendo switch

It had been a present from his mom before she'd gone into the hospital and the only game he had on it was Pokémon violet

It was his favorite video game

Ever since Niantic began their speedrun to ruin Pokémon go Connor just couldn't play it anymore

He use to love it but in his small community there weren't many gyms

Not many people played it anymore and he was only level 24 so he couldn't set up his own gym

The train wouldn't arrive for another 10 minutes so he booted up the game and connected to the station WiFi

As he went to link trade he offered his shiny pichu he found the other day for anything that looked interesting

He connected with several players such as Shrek, cc, cherry, coolboi2742, ∆xxtythxx∆, lincoln and a few more but no one seemed to want it

As he looked up from the screen he saw the train entering the station and stood up

Suddenly he was grabbed from behind

Someone was trying to pull the switch from out of Collins hands

They both tugged on it and the man pulled on it really hard causing the switch and Connor to go flying back

Connor stumbled back and fell over but unfortunately he was just a little too close to the track

As he reached back to catch himself his hands felt nothing and the tumbled into the track pit

Time slowed down

It was kind of peaceful

His switch had landed next to him and as he picked it up he heard the sound of metal scraping metal but by the time he turned towards the sounds source it was too late

It wasn't painful for long

His whole body was destroyed like someone squeeze a grape but it only lasted a few milliseconds
