Prolouge

The night was calm and quiet. The last of the birds had just settled into their nests, and the only sounds left were the distant roars of cars on a faraway road.

I sat by my bed, tapping my fingers on the carpet floor. In front of me lay an assignment, half finished, and due tomorrow. No matter how hard I tried, nothing useful came out of my endless brainstorming. Sighing in defeat, I pulled my phone from the bedside table and closed my textbook. It was going to be a rough week.

It was going to be another week of feeling nothing, another week of barely scraping by exams and homework. It was going to be another week of collapsing on my bedroom floor after seven flights of stairs, another week of aimlessly scrolling through YouTube trying to find the perfect distraction. I sighed. It will he over soon, I thought, my graduation is in a year or so. I'd finally be able to live how I wanted, with the job I wanted. I'd get a life, finally, and stop binging four hour video essays and playing video games my entire free time.

The subscription tab refreshed again and again. My eyes glazed over as I hoped, fruitlessly, for the pixels to change their color. I was just about to fall asleep when my wish was granted, and a new video popped up. I huffed, amused. It was an SMG4 video, titled with something about Mario. It was a channel I used to watch, back when I was in grade school, but had now largely abandoned. A fleeting interest. I'd give it a try, I thought. But tomorrow. I'll finish everything tomorrow.

With a sigh and a yawn, I pulled back my blanket and slid into bed. The breeze blew in from the window, messing with my hair, batting it with a kitten's paw. I closed my eyes, keeping hair out of my face, and rolled onto my back. The pleasant feeling of falling asleep washed over me like beach waved, ebbing and flowing, and as the tide set in I felt my body grow still, my mind start to settle down, and the feeling of falling...

...falling...

...falling...

..falling...

...falling slowly setting in.
