irens are blaring in the background as people yell and shout and shove, trying to get out of the building. Everyone around Alexander is bustling about, trying to save what few things they can before escaping down the two flights of stairs to safety.

Alexander just sits there though, unmoving in his cubicle, frozen in his thoughts. They’ve come for me, he thinks to himself over and over again while staring at the single childish symbol that appeared on his computer screen 5 minutes ago that would not go away; not even when he turned off the monitor and unplugged it from the computer.

There is an explosion somewhere nearby and a few shrieks that follow soon after from the last few people almost out of the office. Alexander hears someone yell “Why are you coming into the building?! It’s burning down! Get our with the rest …” but the rest of the sentence is cut short by who knows what.

Suddenly, Alexander’s vision starts to swirl, blurring the lines of reality and space. He cannot tell where something starts or where it ends. A cloaked figure enters his twisted vision.

“Hello Alexander,” it says in a deep raspy voice.

“mmfduhrhm,” Alexander says trying to tell the figure to leave him alone.

“Now, now, don’t try to talk. Talking only makes the gas work faster. I am sorry that we must recruit you forcefully but you were not willing the last time we contacted you and you are need even more now. You will be where you belong soon enough.”

Then everything in his vision went black.

This adds a swirl of mystery in just the first couple of paragraphs. I'm intruiged. It could be longer, but you certainly got my attention.

Ah! Oh my god! That is amazing! I'm sorry but typically I don't like to read, only to write. Though this is the most (or one of the most) exiting things I've read! I love this, I didn't completely know what was going on, but i knew enough to make sense of it. Then at the end the cliff hanger wants to make me read more I absolutely love this! Kudos! Now if you don't mind I'm going to read the other chapters. ^_^
