          My life is literally a chapter from a story book.  Hello there, my name is Shiloh.  Human matchstick, flying freak, and now your personal tour guide.  If you are reading this book just for fun, than I advise you to shut it right now and turn away.  This is not just some story.  If you do decide to read on, than good for you.  You are probably going to die a long, agonizing death, but that’s ok!  Let me explain.  I only have a little time, so listen up.  This is the story of my life.  Danger, peril, embarrassing moments, and all.  The Vanishers are after me, and they will soon be after you too.  So if you hope to live safely for the next few years of your life, than pay attention and follow one simple instruction.  Whatever you do, don't ever Awaken.  Even now, I don't completely understand it, but it is essential for survival.  In order for you to make it through the next few months, you need to pay close attention to everything I say.  But for now, grab some paper and a pen and get comfy.  This is going to be fun.

          As I said before, my name is Shiloh.  And I am definitely not what you would call a typical teenager.  For starters, some teens have their own cars.  Me?  I have a personal flying reptile.  But I am getting ahead of myself.  Let me start at the beginning.  It all began on a nice, stereotypical day with guys in skirts.  I know, I know, that is not really something that you would see everyday, but trust me.  I’ve seen things that would put Rick Riordin to shame.  Now I know you must have questions, but please hold on to them for a minute.  I’m just getting warmed up. 

     Now just imagine a warm, sunny day in the forest.  The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the grass in growing.  Now, look to your left.  Do you see those kids breaking through the undergrowth?  That’s us, me and my friends.  And those skirted guys I mentioned earlier?  They’re right on our heels.  This is where our story starts.  So get some popcorn, grab a box of tissues(You will need them), snuggle up, I don’t care.  And people who frequently need "to go", you know who you are, please do.  This is the start of adventure.
