Strange Trails

Cobb Avery: The World Ender

I had a name but they took it from me...

I had the best life. I had a steady job, just got a nice house for my wife and daughter and I. I had it good. The working class lifestyle wasn't too bad for me.

That was, until that one fateful night...

It was a late night when it all had happened. My fairly new house was making weird creaking sounds when suddenly the floors collapsed. We had been falling to the ground below was the last I had known.

I woke up god knows how long after. I was given a second chance at life by a mistress by the name of Louisa. Why? I thought to myself.

"Where's my family? My wife? My kid?" I asked her.

Louisa gave me a blank stare followed by her making out words I never thought I'd hear.

"They didn't make it." She told me coldly.

"What happened?" I began to question, devastated.

"Your landlord never told you? Your house was built upon an active sinkhole. You died. Your wife? She died, too. Your daughter? Dead as well." She explained.

I was devastated and utterly wrecked.

"Then why am I talking to you?" I asked sternly.

"I revived you. I revived you so you can seek and get your revenge." She exclaimed.

"R-revenge?" I asked.

"Revenge," she repeated. "Revenge on the landlord. Revenge on all the ones who did you wrong. Revenge on the world." She hollered.

I knew what I was gonna do. They put me in the ground, but I'm back from the dead. I am the world Ender. Now I was to seek out all of those who wronged me, and show them what they did. I'll show them who's boss. I'll show the whole entire world if it's what it takes.
