Prologue

I do not know how, when, or where, but I'm here inside a local retail shop, filled with different kinds of goods, food, toys, clothes, and many more. I am currently running with a stranger who holds a sanitary napkin in his right hand— such a weird guy.

"QUICK!", I shouted.

"I AM QUICK!" he answered.

We are running all our way to the counter, and we badly want to go out, because we are getting rid of this weird little girl who is currently chasing us. She want to steal the pale, and red toy car that I bought for my younger sister. And I don't even know, why would I buy her a toy car, when she's already a teenager?— this is getting really weird.

"Miss, quick! We're paying these, now!", I told to the employee in the counter.

"Can you please be a little faster?", The guy, who was with me, added.

Confused, the woman quickly punched in all of the items that we bought.

I quickly glance and scan from head to toe the guy who I am with.

Who is he? Why is he with me? And why did he has a sanitary napkin with him?

"That will be, 21 dollars and 63 cents."

I gave her 30 dollars, which came out of nowhere. Because, I didn't remember carrying any amount of money with me.

She gave me my change, and again, I saw the little girl. She's glaring at me, and SHE LOOKS SCARY!

"S-she's here!!" I shouted. "QUICK, we need to get out of here!!!"

I pull and run with the guy, but he pulls me back.

"Listen, Alchemy." he clasps my cheeks and looks into my eyes, "There's no little girl, there's no toy car, nor a sanitary napkin..."

I am confused, "W-What?! What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain, but all of these aren't true." He said.

"What, how did that actually happened? That's impossible, we just came out from the retail store, and then there's this creepy little girl—" I was about to point where the store is, but it suddenly disappeared.

I look at him, "What is happening? How is this happening?"

"You will know," he answered, "eventually."

He slowly let go of me and started to walk away, backwards.

"W-where are you going?!" I asked, but he didn't respond.

I tried chasing him, but I bumped into a thick and clear glass wall, which separates me from him.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" I shouted, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! DON'T LEAVE ME, HERE!!!"

The part where he was is slowly getting filled with water. I kept on banging on the glass wall, hoping that it'll broke, but I failed.

"NO!!!!" I screamed, "PLEASE, DON'T LEAVE ME!" I plead, "KYLE!!!!"
