Dust to Hope

Gen 1 Chapter 4 (The Start Part 4)

Fredrick looks around to noticed everything has been left here to rot for years. But it hasn't been that long? It's only been 2 years, right?

He looks around the area seeing if anything is still active, but only a computer and a tv are, and on the tv it's showing a broadcast.

A news anchor says "If you've seen a 19 year old with blonde hair, 5'10, and has one of his eyes covered please contact 43~"
Then it just turned into static.

"Are they trying to find me?" Fredrick questions.

He seems to figure out there's something strange about this warehouse, but he can't figure it out so he looks around just to see the place is overgrown with plants. He tried to look for the used to be lab in that filthy warehouse but all he found was rubble.

He could hear footsteps come from behind him. He turned around to see a knife thrown at him but once he blinked he was in a new location but it was more grassy, and open. He realized he was at Jeremiah park. The place where his brother died.

Fredrick tries looking for his brother's grave, but it's been over grown with plants as he knells in front of the grave, as touches the writing reflecting what's happened in the past on what has happened to him. He puts his hands on his knees and reflects on his mistakes, he feels like his environment has changed.

He opens his eyes to see he's in the restaurant, Gio's, he sees that half of the restaurant has just caved into the ground, he sees what happened to all of those people. He sees their skeletons, rotting at an accelerated rate, almost fading into dust even. He tries to see what happened outside but he falls while trying to get out of the restaurant. But he doesn't fall he just floats there. Fredrick closes his eyes again and awakens a dark room.

A figure submerged in shadows starts speaking,
"Do you really think you can become a god without someone getting in your way?"
Fredrick focuses his eyes.
And sees a man with stitching across his arms and face.
