This is the story of Vito Alexander, “Aleck” born and raised in Ohio but also a shunned young man by his family for being seriously different from the beautiful and amazing-looking family he came from. Even at the age of 24 he was losing his hair and looking even older than his father, being shunned so much he closed his doors and remained indoors hooked to a gaming computer.

His features would make anyone he got near think he was some sort of murderer with a birth defect across his face and a rigid face he always looked grumpy. The only good part about his face was the silver-green eyes that he inherited from his family. But Aleck didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to remain to himself and not scare anyone and he always treated his siblings with all the respect he could. 

On this day tho Aleck was working vividly on several projects that he loved with all his heart for he loved games and coding. He just got done working on 4 modding projects for some well-known games in the industry of RPG but he just got into a bit of horror modding for the time being with his online friends.

Through these projects, he made a list of thousands of monsters, creatures,s and more leading up to a masterful project for his ideals. Though some of his ideas are creepy and yet well thought out.

This is where the story will begin with Aleck.

Aleck was typing out some code for the newest patch of one of his mods called rage and sunset before he tabbed out and walked over to the corner and while his hands were shaky he slowly leaned down to pull his shoes on.

“Man I need to get me something to drink while I am going out, Fanta sounds nice” Aleck would think to himself before heading out the door with a bit of hesitation. Once out the door to his surprise, his phone would ring and he jolted and pulled his phone out from his pocket. His sister sent him a message to check on him, how wonderful he thought to himself, and continued walking through the complex out the door.

Once outside he was shocked to see the sky. Darkness covered the sky, but wait didn't it say it was supposed to be sunny today. This was strange to Aleck and he went and quickly grabbed one of the umbrellas from the front desk. Once at the front desk, he was expecting to see a receptionist but nobody was there. How odd.

Aleck grunted to himself and then rang one of the pagers and still nobody came, what is the world is going on he thought to himself, “screw it” He through his hands over his head and just walked outside towards the store down the sidewalk, there was no rain so if he was fast he could get home before then he thought to himself.

Stolen story; please report.

While walking through after a few minutes Aleck started to look around as the hairs on his body started to stand up on their ends, something was off, normally there would be at least one person out here or even a car passing by. But where was everyone? Aleck started slowing down his walk while looking around, his gut hurting and his mind going nuts.

He shook his head and started moving again. He must be going insane, then a loud boom could be heard, but he thought where did it come from. Looking from left to right even behind he couldn't hear the sound! Where was this loud boom coming from, Then a “CRACK” Then everything went dark, why was everything black he was just standing a moment ago?

Aleck tried to speak but no words came out, only the darkness that seemed to consume everything around him. What was happening where was he and just what was that sound he heard. Aleck moved his hands and feet around trying to feel around him and all it felt like was air! Was he floating? No, what was happening with him he had to figure this out. Thinking back to himself trying to recollect his thoughts he thought of what must have happened. Must be a dream right I am stuck in a dream. “Wake up dammit” he screamed in his head. And he was greeted with silence.

Then a small voice came, but it wasn’t speaking English. It sounded feminine but Aleck couldn't make it out. The voice sounded like it was having a conversation with someone else, hell Aleck was sure it was several people talking now. Then out of nowhere, a voice in English spoke “Damnation” wait what? Damnation what was that….. Then Aleck felt like he was falling.

He was falling and it seemed to be getting hotter? But that didn't make any sense, the voices were gone now, did he die? What was going on and what did that voice mean by Damnation. Everything is still just darkness and Aleck didn't know what to do. 

**Bam** It’s like he hit a solid block surface. He could feel the pain course through him riveting through his core, his bones shattering and snapping into the floor!! Was this it, was his thought I am dying.

That is when Aleck opened his eyes to a red crimson sky where the clouds seemed to be floating mountains and streams of glowing liquid poured from them. Where was he what was happening he did not know but he was sure it surely felt like hell? What did he do to deserve this? Burrowing from the bottom of his gut he shouted at the top of his lungs. “Why Am I Here” And he received no response.
