Guiding Rules

Prologue

Dear diary, my day today was absolutely unbelievable. I was walking home from work because I didn't have enough money for the wagon. As I arrive home, I see that it was trashed. I was so furious, I threw my bag with all my important paperwork to the ground. I begin to walk throughout my home and begin to clean up for bed. While I clean in anger, a blood covered figure emerges from my backyard and runs at me with gnashing teeth. I run away in shock and fall to the floor. The person jumps on top of me and tries to bite my neck, in which I block with my left arm. I scream in pain as they manage to hit their target and I punch them in the face with my right hand. They fall off of me and I bolt out my front door in agony. I look around and begin to run in a daze. I trip over my bag and get up rapidly as the person has already began to recover because they are outside chasing me again. I begin to run fast again, but I'm too tired and the person slashes at my back. They don't miss as I shout in pain and turn around take a good look at the "person" that has been pursuing me this entire time. It's not human. It's something else. It has razor sharp teeth and the deadly scent of metal all over. I fall on my back and I hiss as the dirt embraces the slash on my back. The snarling has stopped. Silence. Nothing but my breathing can be heard. The creature that I was fending off doesn't have its head anymore. My vision blurs as I barely see a man in a flame haiori picking me up and I pass out from exhaustion and my injuries.
