prologue

-lowercase intended- 

4:10 am

tyler wakes up in a cold sweat and goes to his closet, fishing out his hoodie.

the skeleton hoodie.

this happened most nights. tyler would wake up a couple hours before the sun came up, and go for a walk.

but, tonight was a little different.

tonight, tyler revisited the graveyard.

the graveyard was a place tyler used to visit often. there was a point in his life where it just seemed like everyone was dying. whether it be a kid from his school, a family friend, a family friend's friend...

it actually wasn't too often, maybe just a few deaths over the past year, but it seemed like he was there more than he wanted to be.

tyler didn't like cemeteries.

so, why is he visiting one at four in the morning, where no one is awake and the wind is blowing harshly. when it's much creepier than it would be in the day time?

well, tyler doesn't even know that.

but he does know that he isn't walking to see anyone in particular, and that there's something special about those cemeteries. something interesting about the way there are so many people from different generations, but they're all... dead.

all the people who knew different things, different people. they're all in the same place, but most of them never even talked to each other.

that's what tyler knows. but, this place still creeps him the fuck out.

and, shit, he thinks he hears some whispering. but after a little battling with his mind, he comes to realization that it's only the wind.

because the wind is blowing hard tonight.

finally, he stops at a tombstone that looks no different from most of the other ones. it's just a small, stone rectangle lying on the ground, but the looks aren't what caught his attention. no, it was the name.
