Chapter One - Madness From Above

I opened my eyes and gasped, bright blue lights were above me, calling out to me. I didn't want to touch them but my arm completely ignored what I was trying to tell it and reached out, fingertips barely touching and yet it was enough. I was pulled through, into some unknown archway that led out into a bright street. I carefully considered my options here and came to the conclusion that I had no idea where I was.

Suddenly my feet were grabbed from underneath me and I tumbled forwards. Just as I was about to hit the ground I stopped. My eyes which had snapped shut, opened quickly and I saw the most unusual man in front of me.

"Careful there" I watched mesmorised as the man dressed in blue and red spandex shot some sort of fibre from his wrists and swung away, following what looked to be a giant dinosaur.

When he disappeared from my eyeline I felt myself sink backwards into the wall behind me, only I didn't stop falling, my head cracked on the floor and my vision wavered. Cradling my head slightly I pushed myself off the ground, my arms didn't really want to co-operate but I managed.

"Okay" I scowled at the wall as if it had something to do with what had happened. I tentatively pushed on the wall again but it didn't budge and I stayed where I was. I sniffed and stretched my arms a bit, wiggling my shoulders and went back for the wall, growling when it didn't move. I scratched my head, how did I go through the wall in the first place?

I gave up, throwing my arms up and turned around wincing as there was a small child watching me, holding an ice cream which was slowly falling from it's cone. I nodded my head at him "S'up" I casually walked past the kid, smirking at his baffled expression that reminded me of what I must have looked like when that spandex dude was near me.

I walked through the door that led me out of the building that I had literally stumbled into and stepped into the fresh air.

"What the hell is going on!" I shouted, looking towards the sky. I heard a few giggles and sniggers and turned to find a group of teenagers staring at me like I was a crazy person. They quickly looked away once they realised that I had seen them, but I still heard a few giggles. I rolled my eyes and shoved my hands in my pockets, suddenly thankful that I fell asleep on the sofa, at least that meant I was dressed.

I put my hood up and glanced down the street, I didn't recognise anything and that made me feel a bit anxious. Where was I supposed to go? My eyes lit up as they fell upon a fire escape, I looked around to make sure no one was watching me and I lept forwards onto it. I steadily made my way upwards and soon enough I was on the roof.

Looking towards the horizon I could see that the sun was setting. I thought back to how I got here, what were those blue lights? I sat on the edge of the roof and sighed, at least life couldn't get any worse.

A rumble of thunder was heard seconds before it started raining.
