Normalcy,

While some people may be disgusted and abhorred by it, I find it to be a safe and secure method to what I want to get from life with minimal risk involved.

A Normal, Simple Life.

Taking life slow and easy is seen as a taboo mostly by my age demographic, as seen by how often I see other student's doing the craziest things possible. Having no consideration for their immediate future.

While I have no qualms against people who choose to live a "fast life", I often find it strange how some people refuse to take responsibility when it comes to facing the consequences for choosing that path.

Which also includes some of my friends.

[Hey John!]

[Hello Robert]

Checking into my college's library and sharing greetings with the person at the front desk, I began to search for the books that I came to get and occupy a single-person study room.

Having such thought's come to an end, I began to study for an upcoming test.

[Huh, I guess this much material is going to be covered for this test, should be simple enough]

Stopping for a break, I let out a small yawn and toke out my phone to search for any unread messages before quickly getting bored and going back to studying.

[I guess big brother is doing quite well at the moment]

Being born into a wealthy first-class family, John had the privilege and freedom to do as he wanted as long as he didn't cause any trouble for his family or himself. Given his desire to attain a normal life, he asked his parents if he could attend university, in which he got approval because of his high marks in high school. Seemingly following in his brother's footsteps, he instead vowed to take the simple approach and settle down for a normal slow-paced life.

Still he could remember the parting words that his father left him when he headed off to university.

[Son, I know you faced a lot of difficulties in the past but that shouldn't deter your ambition moving forward with your life. Regardless of what you choose to do with your life, as long as you're content with your choice in the end, me and your mother will support you in any way possible]

[As long as I'm content huh]

Having such thoughts his pencil came to halt as he began to ponder on that statement.

Noticing how he finished with a majority of his preparations for his upcoming test and noticing how much time passed, he began to pack up all his studying materials and reached for the door knob

[I am content...]

He whispered as he turned the knob.

[🎶 Founnnnnd You! 🎶]

[Eh?]

Confused he swiftly tried to turn around as he felt a warm sensation began to slowly embrace him, but.

[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

As if initially flash banged, John Baskin began to fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall...

Slowly regaining his sight, he began to notice a strange glowing thing latched onto him.

[ ████ ██ ███████████ ████████ ]

[ Wha? ]

Quickly disappearing, the existence present vanished into thin air.

At the same time, John Baskin's view blackened and silence ensued.
