This is a story about a spirit war that's occurring. The protagonist was betrayed by his corrupt king and commander. He has to travel back to Earth roughly one thousand years later to prevent the carnage before it begins.
The Man in Charge sent me to Oakland, home to the University of Pittsburgh. A pleasantly sized recreational area led to the magnificent structure stretching toward the sky. Rectangles jutted out of the building like carefully chiseled foot holds on a rock climbing wall. I ascended upon the right side of the double staircase and basked in midday sun. I watched as people entered through the large pieces of glass joined together in the middle. I inhaled sharply. Unsure on how to approach the contraption, I stood awkwardly in the middle of the walkway. Sooner or later someone prodded me in the back.
"Hey, are you lost?"
"Uh."
"I know a newbie when I see one. Let me show you around, join the tour."
I glanced at my newly purchased Pitt t-shirt and followed suit. Thin lines spread out of intricately designed pillars and came together on the ceiling forming an x shape. The tour guide led the group into the various classrooms and eventually back toward the gift shop. I stumbled upon a plaque as the tour came to an end.
"In memory of Wallace Landon," I read aloud.
"Some crazy guy in the woods murdered him. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it," a voice said from behind me. "Mr. Landon was one of the best literature teachers Pitt has every had."
I was too late. Another one of my kind was brutally murdered by the sadistic man who killed my family. Wallace Landon is dead because I didn't finish what I started. I didn't "un alive"him. I clenched my fists.
"That's terrible."
"Yeah, I don't know Wally very well, but I learned so much from Mr. Landon...It's just really hard to grasp that he's gone."
I nodded and shifted my focus to the tour guide once again. It's only a matter of time before he goes after Wally too.
