Don't tell me I'm not brave. I know I am, so don't waste your breath. I've done more things than you can ever imagine. Jumped out of a plane to escape from a terrorist? Done it. Escaped from a kidnapper? Done it. Witnessed a murder and reported it to police? Done it. I've done all of this in 16 years. Well... almost. 16 years tomorrow. Yes, it's my birthday tomorrow. But I don't really celebrate birthdays. Dad and I gave up on that 10 years ago when my two sisters and my mother died in a car crash. I've been hardened by the pain. I don't feel anymore. I have no emotions. Life is a game. There is one rule. Stay alive. That view has kept me alive. Do people say I'm synical? Yes. Am I? Maybe, but it's a smart way to live. Despite how prepared I was for most situations, nothing prepared me for this...
My name is Jason Henth. I live in a city called Hadner. It is a small city and is famous for its ancient buildings. Tourists say it's awesome and is like a view of the past. Honestly, I don't know what they see in it. I mean, all I see is rotten wood and stone. In the 16 years I've lived in Hadner, only one building has ever caught my eye. It's an old abandoned warehouse. It's got metal bridges and everything. But no one goes in there... and when I say no one, I mean no one! Some people say it's haunted. Some people say that there's nothing supernatural about it at all. What do I believe? I'm not too sure myself. Even though I don't believe in the supernatural, I can't deny there is something strange happening in the building. No ordinary building makes unknown sounds of metal banging on metal. There is something strange about it, that I know for sure. Do I care however? No.
As I said before, it's my birthday tomorrow... but life will go on as if it isn't. No cake. No presents. Nothing. I will go to school. I will do my work. No one will sing happy birthday. No one will wish me happy birthday. If it were truly a happy birthday, my sisters and mother would still be here. But they're not, so it's not a happy birthday. This is my life.
