《This World of Pure Imagination》 Prologue: Thrill and Nature of Heroism "Shit...I''m gonna be late!" I hissed as I scrambled down my stairs. I missed the bus, but thankfully I live nearby my school. Though I''ll probably get a mouthful from Mr. G after this after all this is my fifth tardy this week. I barge into my class in a sweaty mess huffing and puffing. "Mr. Rimmy takes a seat I''ll be talking to you after class." Mr. G stated with a glare that probably didn''t mean anything good. While walking to my desk I was dazed by my crush sporting a new ponytail peering nonchalantly through the window. When I shifted into my seat the announcements were rung and class proceeded as it''s usual monotonous routine. Just as we''re halfway through the lesson a panicked voice sounded out through the comms. "Attention! There is an armed hostile on the campus. All teachers proceed with Shelter in place procedure!" I shifted out of my daydream while admiring my classmate''s new hairdo. Just as we gathered in our positions there was hushed whispering among my peers. "We''re all gonna die!" "Quiet he might hear us!" "I wanna go home!" I just decided to hide under my desk not paying attention to my classmate''s chatter. The chances of us getting picked out of the two hundred classrooms were minimal so I was wasn''t that scared. That was until the fucking window got shot! "HOLY FUCK" "PLEASE DON''T SHOOT" "YOU DON''T HAVE TO DO THIS" were along the lines of what everyone shrieked. To be honest I was scared beyond anything else that had ever happened in my life. Just then a figure climbed through the window. From the looks of it, our attacker was a male and above 6 feet. He was wearing a bulky black cloak presumably to conceal his gun onto campus and what appeared to be military fatigues underneath. Though that''s not important here, whats important here is his holding a giant high caliber pistol! In a thick and aggressive accent, he voiced out, "Anyone who can recite the code lives, anyone who doesn''t die" and cocked his gun. Right before I was about to pray to my gods I realized where he was starting. He was starting from the closest one next to him... he just had to be there... My crush was sitting right next to him fidgeting and squirming under his grim gaze. Her body was quivering in fear and face went pale like snow. Just then I felt my legs run cold and I started to move. "I''m sorry I don''t know! Please, I don''t know what the hell ''the code'' is supposed to mean!" she cried. "Well, then I guess you don''t cut it," he said while raising his gun. Wham!~ I grabbed my metal thermos from my backpack and blindsided him as he was lining up his shot. A misfire occurred and skimmed pass her! The shrill crack of the gun split the air and my eardrums were reverberating, but I continued to push forward! If I stopped there then I would never have a chance to stop him again! Then I suddenly flew backward halfway across the room from under my feet. I underestimated him but under all that heavy gear he must be built like an ox. I might have gotten the upper hand on him before, but I''m just a sixteen-year-old kid while this guy is probably in his prime. Just then I realized his gun was out of his hands and on the floor so I screamed, "Get his gun!" as I charged forward faster than I ever had in my life. My classmates were stunned for a moment then immediately caught on and flung into action. I just had to slow him down!!! Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.Just then from his bulky cloak, a long wide object was pulled out... a machete... come on! My fists whitened and teeth grinned as I was about to clash with him. ''Wait a moment why am I doing this... I never aspired to be heroic or anything but now I''m shivering with excitement and adrenaline is flooding through my veins...'' Then I was snapped out of my reverie by the incoming swing of his cold and stiff blade. ''BLOCK!BLOCK!BLOCK!BLOOOCK!!!'' I nearly deflected the entire blow to my surprise though I emphasize ''nearly'' greatly! The complete side of my forearm was filleted and the force of his hit nearly smashed my thermos into my face. My thermos had a slice in it... may I remind you this is made of steel right? ''Really damn it! I couldn''t even stop the first blow! Ah! I''m gonna cry, I can''t move, but if I don''t move I''ll die!'' As if by a miracle either from the gods or all the adrenaline pumping through my veins I throw myself towards the ground to escape his machete''s range. With the momentum, I slam my thermos into his ankle using every single fiber of my body to push! ''God please just let it break I know his like a real life Captain America, but I''m putting all my weight, force, and strength into this one hit!'' Then like music to my ears a shivering crack is sounded across the room! ''Success!'' With this, his mobility will be hampered so he can''t get the gun or run away. ''Huh, guillotine?'' Just then I see him lifting his other leg and I could really see how defined and muscular his calves were after his clothes tightened around them. It really amazes me I even broke his ankle after seeing this and it''s all because of my handiwork to bat! Yeah, I''m dead. "Don''t suppose we can let bygones be bygones do you?" A similar crack resounded out though it was much more deafening and painful sounding. ''Yep, that''s my neck smashing into smithereens and little bits, though funny thing is I can''t scream or feel the rest of my body so I guess there goes my spine as well. DId they at least get the gun?'' Bang!~ ''Well I guess that answers my own question'' Bang!~ Bang!~ ... .. . ''Finally, that fucker is falling, was he even human? He took a whole the whole clip to go down!'' Wait a minute the world is starting to spin! Man, I wish it was like the movies where people die from one vital hit or something. Sadly, I just have to wait until my brain shuts down, though will I blank out before I shut down? It would be really handy right now. I think I''m hearing my classmates and... my crush what''s she doing crying? She''s crying for me... and then I was embraced in her bosom. ''Wait... whats this! I feel so giddy! I guess being a hero does come with its merits! Even though I''m dying I''m so happy! I wish I had known how great it was to be a hero then I would have enlisted later or something'' Just then my vision starting fading, the world was turning red before my eyes and gray spots were appearing out of nowhere! ''What the hell I never knew dying would be so trippy, but come on couldn''t this have waited when I was done with my hug!'' Finally, my vision melded into white. Chapter 1: What Can You Imagine? My family was always a conservative religious family, but to be honest I could never get along with their beliefs. I just found it so hard that some omnipotent being would waste time whisking people off into paradise. So now that I''m in the white I have one question. ''Am I dead or still in the process of dying? Am I in a space of white or am I just perceiving white? How am I able to think when my brain should be stopping? Is there a heaven? Ah, I wish I could''ve embraced her more.'' Suddenly the world starts to mellow out into darkness... I stare in a dazed glance until I realize it keeps darkening! A wave of emotion hit me, something that rarely happens because I hate it. I hate showing weakness because it not only made me sad, it made the people around me sad. Even though I hate wallowing in pity I couldn''t suppress the urge let it out. I''m scared... I don''t want this to be the end, I''m still a virgin! I don''t want to spend an eternity in the darkness! I don''t deserve this I saved people and was nice to people! Please, I want another chance! My mind raced as I struggled to find the words to reciprocate out through my imaginary mouth. I found the words that were sitting at the bottom of my heart, ones I so desperately wished for, "I WANT TO BE A HERO!" Then something emerged out of this desolate and scary place into my vision.
Would you like to go to the world of "Imagination"?
Yes No
I instinctively tried reaching out with my hand to click yes but realized I had nothing. Then like a light bulb went off in my head I screamed. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it."HELL YES!" "Sorry I did not get that, did you say ''Hail Piss''?" Huh? Is this Siri? How the hell did you get ''hail piss''? Frozen chunks of pee don''t seem too enticing especially since hail can split your head open. Very unpleasant way to die, let me reciprocate it better. "No, I meant yes" "Answer affirmed, ''Yes'' selected welcome to Imagination." ''huh, now what?'' Suddenly an explosion of perplexing colors filled my vision. A wide spectrum of colors I didn''t even know existed surged into view. It was head-splitting and nauseating to the point where I couldn''t even think. I probably was hell to someone with epilepsy to boot. "Forget tasting the rainbow, I''m feeling the rainbow!" ''Why must everything be so trippy, first when I died now I''m warping into the fourth dimension!'' Then all of a sudden there was an abrupt stop, well if he was even moving. The colors before had stretched and twisted to look like a space warp in a sci-fi movie so he at least believed he moved. After the colors had strayed away and his nonexistent eyes could adjust a planet was presented in front of him. His eyes widened and a lump formed at the bottom of his throat. "This world... it definitely is a world of pure imagination..." he gulped. While it had your standard green and blue mixed in which he could inference as land and the ocean there was a mishmash of other colors. Lakes of lava, mountain ranges of purple, sideways plains, and crimson trees that went past the clouds. There was even more, but he couldn''t make out any details from here as he stood about the distance the moon should be. He was jolted out of his admiration and reverie when his view started plummeting towards the planet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something near the planet. Five moons. Now that would be that crazy after seeing the planet, but what he swore he saw a glimpse of would be emblazoned in his mind forever. An eye... behind the side facing the planet was a pupil... What he didn''t know was that this pupil was something no one had ever seen in this world''s history and should''ve stayed that way. Mesmerised and traumatized by his recent experience he almost forgot he was falling. Almost. Once he phased through a straw roof he was knocked out of it. Finally, he was once again in the darkness, but this time after invading the womb of a young woman. Note: That last sentence was not meant to sound weird at all. Chapter 2: The Wackjob (Clyde) Family In a world of pure imagination, in one particular shack amongst dozens that littered the outcropping, a commotion was brewing. The sun had entered the horizon creating a blissful, serene, and peaceful atmosphere. The miracle of life was taking place as of now and was a joyous spectacle indeed. "FUUUUUUCK!!!!" Well, not so joyous for the one giving birth at least. In the flimsy and meager cot, three people had gathered. Two men, one offering words of encouragement while another having the time of his life. "Honey stop screaming, he''s too scared to come out." "Mr. Clyde you should take this more seriously you''re becoming a father and your wife needs all the support she can get." "Yeah listen to him-MORE!!" "Don''t worry she likes it when I do this." "AS IF!!!" x2 ... ''How long can they keep bickering for? Am I gonna be raised in an unstable household? Is my dad even sane? At least from looks of their argument I''m a boy still which is a plus'' You''d think that he''d be confused and questioning everything that happened so far, but the conversation had drawn him in immediately. It was almost comical to think that the first words he heard at the start of his journey were a mix of curses and slurs at the top of a person''s lungs. ... His birth had finally arrived... An event that would mark the beginning of a new era...Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. A momentous occasion that would change the very future of the world!!! At least it would''ve been a momentous occasion if everyone present hadn''t forgotten him... ''Hey wait a minute I just fell out of your womb couldn''t you at least spare me a glance! I already feel abused! They''ve been at it for over half an hour!'' C''mon how is it that everyone is so oblivious to my birth! Am I not important? Maybe everyone here is crazy. I pondered on how stupid these people could be while trying to stifle my emotions which didn''t work. "Uwah" Yeah, hardy har har I cried so what I''m a baby, unsurprisingly I have an overwhelmingly high urge to cry much to my discretion. At least it seems to have attracted attention from dad. "Huh? Look, Anna, there''s a baby on the ground." "What? Oh my god you, idiot, you made me miss the birth of my own child!" "Your child! His mine too!" "Gosh, you are both idiots!" "Look who''s talking. You''re a doctor so you should''ve paid more attention" x2 "Look that''s not important I have to do the necessary procedures for your son''s well-being." ''He''s definitely trying to change the subject. Well not that that matters anyway they''re all nutjobs!'' But that didn''t matter presently because all the events had finally all caught up to him. ''What about my old parents? Have I just reincarnated? What is this world? Where am I?'' All this built up too much stress for his little body couldn''t handle. "REEEEEEEE" he wailed. And then he flatlined. Just kidding he just fell asleep like most babies do though he did make a disgusting screech before he went out. It silenced the whole room... well mostly Jackson could bearly hold in the giggles. "The hell was that?" "Maybe you scared him with your atrocious voice? "Mr. Clyde if you ever have any relationship problems you can meet me out at Merlin''s, I''m out I wanna escape this clusterfuck before it gets worse. Just remember to feed the baby and not throw it." "Awww, just once?" "No" x2 ... Doctor irrelevantface as we now call him left the scene in graceful strides after tending to their new baby, which ended in a dash once screaming started to occur behind him. This is the beginning of a great tale of massive proportions or something I guess. Our hero''s first day in the world of pure imagination.
