Prologue

It was about 10 PM. My parents were fast asleep, but I was wide awake reading my favorite book, The Outsiders. I had seen the movie and read the book countless times (so I knew what happened by heart), but I still loved it. Suddenly I felt myself slowly falling asleep. I wanted to finish reading it so badly, but my fatigue took over my consciousness. When I would wake up, I would find myself in a different world.
