A fully made original story
*translated from Hebrew to English*

-----


I was walking through the pale city for a long time, I couldn't find my way and I gave up. Everyone here are just so weird... These so called 'viewers' are acting... Different. I learned it the hard painful way since there's a scar on the side of my face. While walking around through the streets, I saw someone really big chasing after something. I decided to go and to see who it was. I was hiding behind buildings and places, so he'll won't notice me. I was leaning on one of the buildings that seemed to be stable, I was absolutely wrong. The building started shaking, I hfelt some pieces of it falling on my head. I felt my heart beating with no control, I breathed like crazy... I closed my eyes when I saw a big piece of the building starts falling on me. "Well... This is the end, I would like to choose the 'viewer killing option instead!!" I thought. I waited for my death to come, but... It never came. I heard noises of static television around me. I opened my eyes to find the one I was following right in front of me!, I was in a total shock. He use some sort of power to make the building to stop falling on me. But I thought for myself, why?
He moved the rock breaks away and got down on his knee to my height, that matched perfectly. I stared at him for some time that felt like forever. Until I started tearing, I got closer to him and hugged him, crying on his shoulder. I said "thank you" without an end. I felt his arms wrapped around me, hugging me back, tries to calm me down. I'm slowly getting calm, until I suddenly fell asleep. He noticed  I fell asleep on him after I stopped talking, crying, the heartbeat got down, my breathing was controlled and my arms have loosened from the hug. He decided to pick me up, and take me to The Signal Tower.
When we got there, he carefully got up the stairs, and got me to his room. He put me down on his bed and got me cozy and comfortable. He wanted for me to rest after all the stress.

I woke up. I looked around not recognizing anything in my sight. Until all the memories have got to mind, looks like the man who saved me have got me here.

I got out of the room, all that was around me were long hallways. Suddenly I heard music coming from one of the hallways. I walked to the sound of the music, thinking and hoping he's there. I got to the room there was a television in the center. That was the source of the song. I looked around and found him, sitting and reading some sort of book. I blushed for a bit. I just stood there, until he noticed me. "Oh, you woke up." He said. "Oh y-yeah, sorry I didn't knocked before... ", I said in a little shame. He replied " no no don't apologize, I was looking forward for you to wake up. ", he stood up from the chair and got the book back to the shelf. "Wow... He's so tall..." I said in my mind while he got forward to me, and offered me his hand. "Would you like to sit down and talk?". I blushed a bit, but accepted his hand and said, "sure..." I politely said. We got there and sat down. "Are you feeling okay?", he asked. He saw the look on my face, " yes... I'm okay..". He didn't believed me and asked again, "are you sure? You don't really look that good..don't be shy to talk.", the look on his face and words have calmed me down, making me comfortable to speak up. " fine..I'm not. I'm just pretty stressed...", he heard me. He put his hand on my shoulder, "I understand... Don't worry, you're safe now.", every word he said made me feel more safe and comfortable. I calmed down and nodded. right after, he continued. " let me introduce myself. I'm the city's owner and the local broadcaster. People call me in the nickname 'The Thin Man', I don't know why personally but it doesn't matter. This tower is the place where I send the signals to the televisions around here. It's a safe place so don't worry. " I never believed that someone would help me out, but who knew that someone like him, that's almost famous would care about me? I didn't stopped asking questions in my head, but he stopped my thoughts when he asked, "would you like to introduce yourself?". I looked at him for a bit, but nodded for yes. I started. " okay so... I'm eliya. I'm lost here, I'm walking through the city round and round with no stop, I thought it was the end for me until you saved me. But... Why? " he changed to a confusing expression. Put his hand on me and said, "what why? Why that I'll leave you to die? Why that I'll ignore? I looked and saw you were the only normal between all the viewers in this city. Of course I will save you.  I'll never ignore and leave someone to his death.". I wanted to cry, but I held it in. Until he took me and hugged me. I couldn't hold it and had to get it all out. "thank you" I said again, I kept tearing while he held me close in his arms. "You're Welcome" he said and cleaned my tears away. I understanded that there I'm staying, safe. Not alone in the world.
