My name is Antagra, Maxwell Antagra. I’m a normal guy who attends a normal high school. Nothing out of place. I enjoy my life with my friends and family. Most of the time with my friends, but I don't forget about my family. We could say that my hobbies are… Well pretty normal: I play video games, surface the internet procrastinating most of the time. I also have some sewing skills, but I don’t do it because it’s a bit boring, but I enjoy it. By the way, I forgot to mention it, I’m a lazy person. So, you can guess that I am not a good student. But there’s a reason! It’s because it’s boring learning by how I learn. Have to study without practice methods it can be really boring, I mean, I know that for physics you have to know the theory for applying it and before that, you should have knowledge about maths equations. Same for languages, I know that we have to know the syntax and all that crap. But actually, we don’t do enough conversation… I hope you get my point. But, Anyways, besides my grades (that are mostly Cs’) I'm just getting out of school, classes just finished for today. I’m walking down the street with my friends, Mary, Richard, Paul, Amelia, and Elisa. My dearest friends. I don’t know what I would do without them.
Amelia: So, How did the exam went?
Paul: Well, it wasn't difficult but, it was tiring, although you had to keep in mind every formula.
Richard: Man, Physics can be really tough sometimes.
Mary: -lets out a sigh- No shit Sherlock.
Amelia: -laughs quietly- Ah... I'm so glad that I quit physics.
Elisa: Lucky... Anyways, Max, how did you do on your exam?
In a moment like this, I can let out from my mouth one of my typical sentences.
Maxwell: Well............... What a nice weather we have today... don't we? -smiles nervously-
Elisa: Dude IT'S RAINING. -shouts towards me- Have you even study for the test? How many times I told you that you...
Shit, I forgot about that. Yeah, it's not the best weather, to be honest... Hey, but at least everyone picked up their umbrellas... this situation remember me the day that I was the only one that picked up his umbrella... Damn that day was a mess. All of us packed up under my umbrella trying not to get wet.
Elisa: Max are you even listening to what I am saying?! -The girl hit his forehead-
Maxwell: Ouch! - I let out a moan- Huh? uh, yeah... I was listening, sorry, for a moment I got lost in my thoughts. Ah and... the exam went better than I expected.
Elisa: -her eyes reflect some incredibility- I don't believe you.
Maxwell: Hey I am not ly-...
Elisa: Y'know that you should study one week before the exam and not the las-...
Maxwell: -I screamed in anger- I studied for two weeks! -I let out a sigh- Sorry, too much stress on me lately.
Elisa: Ok ok... -mumbles- Grumpy...
I honestly heard her calling me grumpy, but like I didn't hear it at all. I softly sighed and kept walking forward until our paths divide themselves. And this division was "The subway". The funny thing is that I always had to pick up a bus that it seems that not a lot of people is used to take. Now if you are wondering if I walk down the street with them to go to my house because we live in the same direction... Well, actually that's not the case. I accompany them because I don't want to go unaccompanied. I mean, I rather be accompanied a leg on my journey to my house than go alone on a bus which everyone picks up and they are packed like sardines in a tin. So that's the main reason (besides picking the bus that no one picks).
Mary: -Softly hits his forehead with her finger- Hey, wake up. We arrived at the subway station. And your bus seems to be almost there -points at the distance, to a bus which it seems to be the one that I have to pick up-
Maxwell: -I return to the world out of my mind, and see the bus approaching, I slip out a little groan before saying- Well Guys -I hug everyone except Richard because he is an asshole who doesn't like hugs, then I separate and do a brofist with him- See ya tomorrow guys! -I ran towards the bus stop-
Everything was being, as usual, nothing out of its place, my friends, the bus stop, the bus... But, at that moment, there was something out of place. Why couldn't I see it before falling into it? Shit, I am falling? Falling into a hole which never was there? I can't help myself, I just let out a scream with all the air that was in my lungs. I hope they could have heard me. And yes they did. As soon as my scream came out of my mouth... I heard them screaming... Also heard their feet running to me. Why am I such a dork? I have to grab to something or I'll fall into this hole which I honestly don't know where it will leave myself. I scream as I fall and luckily grab the corner with the tips of my finger. Please, someone, help me. I can't stand for too long, the weight of my backpack is taking me down with it. No. Not only the backpack, there's a force sucking me inside that perforation. I looked down for a moment. Pitch black was awaiting myself down there like it was desolated. Everything, fast, as a swift. I can see my friends. they are trying to grab me, but, something odd. Why they can't raise me up?
Richard: Dude -Screams out- How the actual... When did you gain so much weight? -Pulls out of my hand-
Elisa: Have you been eating more candy than before? -Pulls from Richards back-
Maxwell: I keep having the same weight, you idiot!
Amelia: Both of you shut up. -with everyone, she tries to pull me out of that orifice-
Paul: Keep Hanging! -Pulls from Amelia's back-
Maxwell: -I scream in desperation mixed with some rage- No, I rather let go their hands, don't you think that's a nice idea!?
Mary: Paul this isn't the right time for jokes! -Pulls from his back as hard as she can-
I was helpless, I was almost in tears, but not because I was happy that they were helping me, it was actually because that damned hole was absorbing me harder than before. I can feel the sweat on my hands... I'm about to fall into this aperture that I don't know where it would lead. Then I could feel the air go through our hands... I think I would never forget this feeling and sensation. The feeling of falling. I could hear their voices calling me through the aperture... as I was falling... As I'm falling, the big perforation, fast, started to reduce itself as tiny as a little dot on a computer screen to become a completely black landscape, less than nothing, void.
