The AlterStone
From Create Your Own Story
You find yourself looking through your drawer for the 4th time, trying to find the keys you lost to your car. The one day you need not be late a interview of a lifetime, the one that could finally get you out of the poorest of areas in this city. Then a loud noise like a garbage truck catches your attention, out of curiosity you go to the window to take a look. Your car is being towed, you start running outside to save your last chance at a good life. As soon as you open the front door of your apartment building, your car is already being towed off in the distance. You fall to the ground stricken by the ironic feeling of hopelessness, this was all the worlds fault you thought. The one chance you needed to be happy and it slips out of your hand, just like the sun going down in the far off reaches of the horizon. You close your eyes and start to beg anyone hearing you, hoping for it all to end... All of a sudden your mind flashes with images of everything that has happened in your life, the sad meaningless existence your life has become, and right as you start to regret everything wishing you could change it all for a last chance. You start to hear something, it sounds far off and this only reminds you of how everything that has happened in your miserable life. You can hear it getting closer, and closer. Until you start to feel warm as if the sun had just risen again, the warmth making you feel better and better with the noise getting closer. Then everything goes quiet, but the warmth is still there you can feel it all around you. Then you finally hear it.
"I am the Alter Stone, I have been looking for a person such as yourself for a long time."
You open your eyes to see that you everything around you has changed, there is an infinite amount of colors mixing and painting as if this was the birth of creation itself. When you finally stop to see where the voice came from you see a table with a chair in front of a huge wall of marble. You wonder if your going crazy, you also feel like you should try talking to it. You could also just stand silently.
You must be going crazy, There is no way a wall is talking to you.
