Austin Untold

A small boy, an orphan, due to the loss of his parents in a crossfire. He spent most of his entire life without knowing what it was like to have a family. What it was like to have the warm, tender love of a mother. To have the strong reassurance of a father. To know what it feels liked to cared for, to bond, nothing. He grew up thinking that his only purpose in life was to impress the thoughts of those around him, no one by his side to believe that he could be way more than a puppet to society.

He lived in the scraps of his town, sleeping among the trash, going to bed on nothing but newspaper and some used cloth, shielded by a box that grew worn from the weather that passed by every night. Hungry, starving, poor, in pain.

That's all he knew, all he felt, was pain.

It's what kept him going, somewhat of a motivation, to say. He grew up teaching himself everything he needed to know, such as survival, subjects like math, reading, writing, science, etc.

By his teenage years of living in the dumps, he had the knowledge of three scientists' minds combined. He snuck into lab facilities, scrap yards, anything where he could find things to use as building material. Luckily for the young boy, he had gotten every item he required, and more. He spent countless hours, days, weeks, maybe months, even YEARS building something that could strike awe in the greedy hearts that refused to take him in as they walk past him on the streets.

By his adulthood, he had finally finished his project, fixing and modifying every kink in it. It was a portal of some sort, one that had lead to a code system somewhere, where nothing but everlasting walls of binary codes had stretched on for infinity. He had made a function on it to make it portable. Once it was up and running, tested, and confirmed for safety, he jumped in one last time, making the biggest regret he had ever done.

Once he had stepped inside, all he could feel was the piercing electricity of the system wrap around his body. He screamed in agony and more pain, which echoed through the nothingness of the dimension.

He took the pain automatically reverting it to strength, a skill he had developed through his life. He calmed himself down, opening his eyes, and saw the true beauty of the coding system. He looked around, nothing but green numbers, neatly columned in a pattern, some columns moving towards the sky, and the others to the ground, not that there is any. He looked more, noticing a couple of blue wire-like currents dancing in sync with the green, occasionally sparking together, making a perfect aqua-turquoise color.

He was on something solid, his feet grounded onto something that wasn't there. He walked and walked, admiring the patterns and unexplainable view, seeing more different colored currents dancing around with each other.

It was marvelous.

As he made his way back to the entrance, he saw a purple along with a red current, lagging and choppy dancing with each other, almost like they couldn't do it as well as the other ones he saw. They attacked the other currents, breaking and corrupting them into colors of their own, manipulating the same kind of dance the original red and purple ones did before. He rushed to the entrance, only to have his presence known by the corrupted currents. They charged after him, striking fear into Austin's heart. He ran as fast as he could, not only because he was being chased, but because the entrance was closing.

He made it out in the lick of time, the portal closing right after his leg had exited.

He had tried to explain his experience to others, but all they believed in was that he was insane. But of course, who would believe in a man on the streets about going interdimensional and seeing a glitch in system.

He tried his best to tell people that the world and dimension could be in danger, but no one believed him.

I want to end this story so in summary, he found the source of the virus, stopped it, and became a hero.
