            “Myra Elise Watson, turn off the TV! It’s time for bed!” my mother screamed at me from somewhere in the house.

            “But mom!” I yelled back, “The show just started getting interesting!”

            “Don’t ‘but mom’ me, missy! You know you’re supposed to be up in your room with the lights off by eleven. Especially since tomorrow is your first day of school!”

            “Fine...” I gave in; fighting with her would only get me into trouble, which I seemed to be getting into a lot lately.

            I lazily pulled myself up off the couch and turned off the television. If I can’t watch TV I’ll just surf the internet instead I decided, She can’t hear the internet. Laughing at that thought, I ran up the stairs to my room.

            As soon as I reached my room I closed the door and locked it. That way, if my mom decided to come up and check on me she’d have to knock first, giving me time to turn off the monitor before opening the door.

            I sat down on my computer chair and turned on the computer. After all the humming and buzzing subsided, I logged in. Hmm where should I go first? I asked myself after I opened up a webpage. I decided to go look at all the artwork posts on testriffic.

            I loved art; all the creativity and talent could keep anyone occupied for hours.

            Scrolling through the newest posts I found a picture that caught my interest. It was a cleverly strewn by two photos, one of the moon and the other of the sun. They were carefully crafted together to create one image: half moon and half sun. As I pondered the illustration I found my self looking out my window.

            I was expecting to see the normal dark purple sky speckled with sparkling stars, but what I saw was nothing of the sort. The sky had turned a bright orange-yellow and was shared by both the sun and the moon. It looked like a dream, with pink swirling clouds slowly drifting by as blue and purple stars spotted and shined in the sky. The sun was a bright white still, but the moon had turned blue and purple along with the stars. I was mesmerized, but in a flash that beautiful sky was gone.

            In its place the sky became dark and spun with red and black, a pure depiction of evil. The sun and moon were gone, along with the stars and clouds.

            I looked around trying to find out what happened, but the safety of my room had disappeared. Instead, I was sitting on a rock in a dark and desolate place. Trees were burnt up all around me and there wasn’t any grass or flowers covering the ground, it was only dirt.

            I stood up and looked all around, finding nothing more than burnt up trees and dead earth. What happened? Where am I? I wondered.

            “You’re in Sekure” A robotic voice behind me replied to my thoughts, as I quickly spun around in surprise.
