The Uprising: Origins

Chapter 2: home

As I opened the door to my house and stepped inside something seemed off to me.

"Dad," I called, "Dad! Where are you?"

After I searched the house and couldn't find him I decided to check the one room I hadn't checked, the basement.

I wasn't allowed to go down there due to 'unforeseen consequences' but before i could head down their i heard a scratching noise. so I quickly grabbed my old M1 Grand and proceeded downstairs.

At the bottom I took a quick look around the room.

I couldn't see anything in the dark basement except for the light filtering in through the tiny window. Yet I knew every corner of the room because I used to sneak down here late at night. As I was just starting to relax i heard a loud bang in the darkest corner of the room.

As I Approached the noise something caught my eye. I turned toward the shiny thing and approached it. As I drew close I could just make out the shape. It looked like an armband or maybe a bracer from my school textbooks. it also had a weird wire coming off of it and an octagon shape but I couldn't make out the colors.

As I reached out to touch it I heard a hiss behind me but before I could make out what it was darkness slammed down on me.
