Max and the adventure

Chapter 1 waking up

„Death means something different for different people. Some see it as a sweet release, others see it as something to fear while others just except it as a part of life. For me death is a path that must be crossed to have a life, however you shouldn't cross it right away, you should do it at the end."

I wake up in my cozy home filled with books, VHS, DVD's and so much more nonsense like an eye with legs. As I get up, I land on my green carpet that almost feels like grass, I look at my old school alarm clock which should go off in a few minutes, it also says that it is 6:24 am. Oh wait, its 6:25 now. I make my bed that is obviously messy so i clean it up, I put my grayish pillow back to its place, I put my blue sky bedsheet back and then i go to the kitchen i get the toast and put it in the toaster. While that is toasting, i get out the butter knife, the butter, the salami, the milk and my glass with grass printed on it. Just as the toast flies out of the toaster, my alarm clock starts to ring:„RING RING, RING RING, RING.. RI-" before it gets to annoying, I put out the clock by "accidentally" taking out the batteries. After eating my toast and drinking my milk, I go brush my teeth, while doing that I look in the mirror as always, i try to think how people would describe me looking at me:„That person in the mirror has nougat brown hair, more of a light skin tone, dark brown eyes, sorta flat eyes, not that much noticeable lips and a crooked nose" as I get out of the bathroom after doing business, I look at my Iheart(phone) and see, that my bestie Frank can't come today, because he is sick with a cold. But then my enemy Ray texts me to come to his house, fourth of a mile away, this is probably a trap but since I have nothing to do I just accept and get ready. Maybe we will finally have a redemption which would be nice, after cleaning my mess from breakfast. I grab a yellow shirt under a green hoodie , chess pattern socks, black underwear , some blue jeans and some pink sneakers. I also pack my blue bag pack with snacks, my Iheart, a map to get to his housewhich i have no idea how i have it, some money, sunglasses, a handheld console and a fantasy novel thats three times heavier than my alarm clock. I look at the map to see where i need to go, I go outside and see the beautiful sun towering over everything. I look at the map again, there seems to be a path on the map that i have never seen before, so I look for it and find it after 3 minutes. The path feels magical with a warming glow that feels like an adventure is going to start. „am I awake? Is this a dream?" I ask because this place doesn't feel real, it feels like out of a fantasy novel. It is a forest path like many , however the air seems to be glowing orange pink and the wood has a blue tint to it. After walking for a bit i find a bench that is as magical as this entire experience . I take out my Iheart and start taking pictures , they actually look as magical as they are!:„Wow, that's the first time the camera was good " I say surprised, because it is. Usually the camera barely gives justice to magical feeling moments like this, i guess. I check my watch to see the time which is 7 o clock! It feels like hours have passed by despite the fact it hasn't been 20 minutes. According to the map i should be a minute away from Ray's house, I wonder why he's wanting me to come. I'm weirdly exited to see him, probably because i thought of a redemption between us. I know i repeated it so many times now but we could be a good trio. But first i have to come to his house which is 5 foot away . I run up there and ring the door bell, Ray comes up to me fast, i know he is expecting me but still. „Hi Max" he says glad.„Hi Ray, how is it going?" I ask. Ray responds happy : „It is going great , ok I know we aren't the bestes of friends but.." „I think it's time to redeem, don't you think " We both say at the same time looking into each others sparkling eyes, which feels awkward and nice. „So do you wanna go inside or into my eyes" ask Ray jokingly. „I can make you a cup of tea if you want" he says , which I respond to by nodding. I go inside his house which is decorated very neutral, like there is the occasional pastel colored wall, but the rest of them are beige or white. However his couch is Massive, its nearly double my length. There are photos on the wall, there is what you would expect like family photos and stuff, but there's also pretty random photos of skylines in a big city. I go through his house and find him in the kitchen which is 50s inspired. He turns around to me with two cups of tea, one for him and one for me . I look at his long orange hair which is a little floaty , his aqua eyes also shines the most in the current light. Or at least it does. „Wow, time moves fast sometimes, doesn't?" i say as the brightness slowly disappears, „Yeah, that happens" he says looking a little up for eye contact. We get to his massive grayish coach and we drink our tea while watching some tv. After an hour has passed i go home again„ maybe tomorrow we can hang out as a trio" I say to myself happy. Going through his door and waving goodbye started to give me chill for some reason. I pull up my Iheart and put it on flashlight mode. It is the same path i went before ,but it is dark outside. Slowly giving me more chills, i pull up all my courage and go through this. The scary part isn't oH tHe dArKnIsS iS sCaRy, it's the fact that i am used to seeing it one way, any other way feels not right. The trees still have a light blue tint , but everything has a dark purple tint to it, it makes this so much more eerie. After somehow going through this living nightmare that is called a path I finally come to my house . I take the key out of my red case from my Iheart and gently open the door. I immediately turn on the light so fast that my inner voice probably would call me a coward. I get ready for bed and sleep hopefully safe and sound, as i think of calling frank tomorrow. I try to put out my lamp but it doesn't work. It is the last light in the house and it doesn't turn of. I think to myself completely ruining the feeling of safety. The more i look at the lamp the more distorted my vision becomes to the point of everything around the lamp moving like a liquid despite the fact everything is solid. Looking back at the day it feels like Ray is hiding something from me. „Guess I got to figure THAT out tomorrow" I say as i take out the batteries.
