Chapter 1

It was just a normal day, I'm laying on my bed after getting done with a particularly long run. I may not be that strong physically, but all my life I've been a runner. It's just felt right to me, why walk when you can get there faster by running. That's always been something I focus on, speed. Whether it's running or gaming, I always have to get there first. 

Yes I'm a gamer, a big one too. I guess you could call me a "nerd", just one who runs. Whether D'n'D or PC, I just like to play games. I enjoy maximising my characters strengths and strengthening their weaknesses. I always have to be the best. I'm not a perfectionist though, I just enjoy beating others at games. If you lose then good for me, if you beat me then cool, I'll just try harder next time.

Getting off my bed I look into the mirror on my door. I see a kid, about five and a half feet tall. He's not good looking but not ugly either, his hair is black and short, his eyes a silvery blue. Those have allways been my favorite thing about me, I've had people complement me on them quite often. Some say it's as if I'm staring right through them. I'm not, my eyes might look cool but that's all that's special about them. My running helps me stay in decent shape, so I'm not fat, but I'm not like those guys at school that weightlift 24/7.

"Max, dinner!" I hear mom shout from downstairs. I head to the dinning room and smell the meatloaf. Mom, Dad, and Lily are already seated. I grab some and sit in the empty seat.

"So how was your day?" Dad asks, not really directing it at anyone. Dad works as a writer, so he's always a bit unfocused. Always halfway focusing on how his next story will go. He's a bit out of shape, sitting at a desk typing all day doesn't really count as exercise. He's where I got my black hair from.

"It was fine dear" My mother replies. I got my eyes from her. Mom is a secretary for some big law firm, but her hours aren't that much. She has to take care of Lily after all.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Lily is my little sister. She turned 5 a few months back. She has the same hair and eye color as I do, and she is adorable.

After eating dinner I put away my dishes and head up to my room. As I close the door something strange happens, a screen appears in my vision.

Time Remaining: 0:25

After reading that last bit I rush downstairs to where my family is. If this is fake then no big deal, but if it really happens then I don't want to be separated from them.

As I reach halfway down the stairs I trip and fall the rest of the way, I'm not hurt but I am dazed.
