Week 3


When I was in my room I went straight to bed and flipped the TV.

“Another murder took place in the “Fallen city” server today, this makes the fifth murder in that server alone this week.” The anchor stated. Her eyes focused on the screen in front of her. I looked to the picture beside my bed. It was of the three of us, in the real world, we were all children when this was taken. She was in a tire swing and I on a low tree branch, Waterdragonn leaned against the tree he was reading a book, as usual. I can still remember that day, It's one of the only memories I have of that world. A single tear found it's way from my eye. I wiped it away as if my friends were there with me. I tried to be tough back then, if only I knew the hardships that lay ahead.

Edmonton, My one and only home. It's a pretty small city when compared to other cities in my country but it was the world to me as a child. I went to a normal school and was the class loser all of my life, the few friends I made stayed with me for a while but the two that seemed to stick out where those two. I freed myself of my weapons and fell asleep. There's nothing I can do.


I had finally won, my nemesis lay on the ground. Anger had forced me into doing this, I had to defend the ones closest to me. I was always the weakling, but today was different, I was no longer the weak person I was just yesterday. Sure I had my share of injuries but it was worth it.

I looked behind me to see my friends behind me, they were just as surprised as I was. A groan came from in front of me and I walked away from the noise, possibly to try to escape my sin.

“T-thanks.”

“It's nothing, really.” I handed back the stolen shoes. My face grew hot from the sudden rush of blood. There stood the most beautiful girl I had seen in my seven year old life, and all I could say was some stupid line to make me sound macho, I knew it was all a lie.

She bent forward and kissed my cheek. She ran away like most little girls do when they show their affection. I stood there dumbfounded, a stupid smile on my face. I was in love, for the first time I had love for someone other than a family member. I felt like I was flying when I walked to my mom's red station wagon. I sat in the back seat and we drove home, I swore to myself that I would someday tell my friend how I felt about her. Everything around me dissolved into nothing.

The area around me was a plain white room. I saw the love of my life standing there with her seven year old counterpart. I looked to my side and my younger self stood there and looked back at me. He smiled, I called out to them. Both of them turned around and saw me, and began to walk away, both of us chased them. They started to fade away and we ran even harder.

“No, It wasn't my fault!” We called in unison. They turned their heads and with a smile disappeared. I started sobbing and fell to my knees. My younger self squatted in front of me.

“Never told her did we?” He asked.
