Prologue

What happened on that day? Oh, brother, was it a doozy. I remember it... mostly. I lived alone in a small apartment. I was a 20 year old lazy male gamer obsessed with sweaters and wearing hoods (I feel insecure without them for some reason). I was playing my favourite game, which I don't remember what it was, and I finished a level after quite some time.

I shook my head. Was that really all to life? Going to and from a job every day, returning home just to play a video game? Surely there was something better or less boring I could do with my life. Maybe join the military? No, no, I'd be rejected. Work at a hospital? No, I disgust easily.

After that, I checked the time, realized it was getting pretty late, and decided to go to bed. That was my plan, at least. I opened my eyes and looked around. I had a strange feeling, like I was being watched. Nothing unusual there, my anxiety typically made me feel that way.

But this time, it was different. It felt... real. Like I had to actually check my whole apartment to make sure there wasn't an intruder. I did so, and when I returned to my bedroom, I could've sworn I saw something out of the corner of my eye that didn't belong there.

I turned to face it, but there was nothing there. I figured I was hallucinating, and shook my head. I returned to bed, when I heard a very strange jingle. I got up, and looked around again. Nothing.

"What the hell?" I whispered to myself, "Well, I guess my apartment is haunted. Joy." Then, after that, my TV turned on to static. I got up, ran over to it to turn it off, but when I hit the power button, nothing happpened.

I became extremely annoyed and unplugged the television, but to my surprise, it didn't turn off for another few seconds. I knew something fishy was happening. I made a note to myself to get a medium or some paranormal expert or whatever to come to my apartment sometime.

Yeah, that never happened.

I turned away from the television and prepared to go to bed, but I heard a loud, strange noise, and in front of my television, what seemed to be a weird portal or wormhole made of static appeared.

My jaw dropped, but then, I felt myself being pulled toward it.

"What the-?!" I shouted, but stopped myself and thought about what could be done. I grabbed onto my bed post, which broke off after a couple of seconds, and I was sucked through the portal, screaming like a girl.

Well, I guess I got what I wished for.
