Distributor of international packages.

"Hey, Brandon, there are more deliveries to make, finish your coffee and pick them up at the office, so they can be delivered to the addresses listed." A middle-aged man handed out an address book to a young employee and explained the shipping process.

"Yes, boss, I'll leave immediately." The young employee approached a trash can and threw his half-filled coffee cup in the trash while adjusting his mandatory delivery hat.

The name of the young employee was Brandon Belcan, 22 years old and single, a healthy and normal hardworking young man as any other.

Brandon was an employee of the international package distributor for more than 8 years and thanks to his work, Brandon was always able to feed his addiction, role-playing video games.

The shipping payment was very large and it did not require great skill to deliver packages so for Brandon that was a perfect job.

Brandon's job was to deliver packages around the globe and many times some of those packages came badly closed so sometimes he ended up seeing the contents they brought inside.

Sometimes there were complaints that the packages arrived at their agreed destination, and they were already open but quickly Brandon's boss always answered that they were very common problems when shipping, which prevented that most of the time a lawsuit against some employee of the company.

9:03 in the morning

Brandon was finishing putting the boxes in the delivery truck and labeling them one by one and saw that his boss was coming towards him.

"Brandon, you can start now, those are all the boxes available for today, your first delivery is in Yellowstone, so go out and deliver everything, good luck" The boss of Brandon told him, pointing to his first address at Yellowstone Brandon knew that the trip would be relatively short and that would allow him to deliver more in less time.

"Go boy, there's a lot of work to do!" The boss of Brandon told him greeting him as he climbed into his truck.

Brandon looked for the truck keys in the glove compartment, but could not find them "Damn, where I left those keys now?" Brandon spoke loudly while looking for the keys until he remembered that he had them in a compartment hidden under the driver's seat.

"Perfect, now if I can leave, I really want to arrive early to continue playing Iridial tale."

Because of an oversight Brandon once experienced that his delivery truck was stolen causing him to lose a large sum of money to him and his boss.

Brandon finally started his truck, but before leaving the office his boss ran out the front door with a small package in hand.

"Brandon, we forgot this package!!!!" Brandon's boss shouted as he waved his hand to his truck to stop.

Noticing that his boss was making strange signs with his hands, he stopped and walked down to his boss.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Brandon asked his boss that he was very agitated for when he managed to get to the truck. "Almost...we...forgot this package...here you are" Brandon's boss handed him a small package and told him, while his boss stayed still for a couple of minutes because he was very agitated because of his age and the one who had never done much exercise and Brandon knew it very well.

Brandon enters his truck again and lit it by leaving the office.

9:47 in the morning

After 40 minutes of travel Brandon was getting closer and closer to delivering the first package of the day until he came across a crossroads and this turn to the right.

"What boredom...I hope some new RPG comes out this year" Brandon distracted his eyes for a moment, trying to find a radio station that he liked, but at that moment when he set his eyes on the road a huge truck was in front Brandon reflexively stepped on the brake, but it was totally useless since the two trucks were very close to each other, at that moment Brandon closed his eyes and prepared for the impact still holding the small package that his boss had given him.

9:59 in the morning

Everything was completely silent while Brandon refused to open his eyes still holding the package with his hands, when he opened his eyes, he could not see anything, everything was completely dark and no sound was heard, Brandon moved his arms and legs as if nothing and confirm that he was alive and that he was in a dark and unknown place.

"Where am I...HELLO!...Is anyone there!?...HELLO!!" Brandon was standing screaming in the dark while with his feet, he was trying to recognize the ground, he was treading until at one point Brandon felt like he ran out of ground and was totally paralyzed with fear.

Brandon puts his foot back on the ground, he was on and was totally immobile until he felt something brush his back, causing him to turn instinctively to try to see what was behind him.

"HELLO!?!?!?...HELLO...Is there anyone there!?!?!"Brandon continued to scream while totally terrified. Terrified of not knowing what was lurking in the dark.

Slowly Brandon began to relax, thinking that everything had been an idea of his mind and his breathing became calmer with every second that passed until he felt again that strange touch on his chest which became a very sharp pain.

Brandon puts his hands on his chest where he felt the pain coming and a strange, warm liquid and when he brought his fingers closer Brandon noticed that he had a strange but a small hole in his chest.

His eyelids began to feel heavy and his body began to lose its balance while his hands stopped trembling until he fell into the abyss behind him.

A strong blow was heard at that moment and Brandon was totally silent while slowly, his conscience became more and more distant.

"Tomorrow will be a new... day" those were the last words that Brandon finally said, closing his eyes until the silence completely dominated that dark space.
