The Other Half

PROLOGUE

There is a world called planet Earth. Trillions of people who live on this planet are individually unique. Some are barely making ends meet, some are just trying to survive, and some are living luxuriously. There are a lot of happenings on this planet, and it is the busiest, most crowded, the most emotional of all the other neighboring worlds, most of all, the most mysterious. Because of this, danger, sinister, and evil are also lurking on this planet, waiting, exploring, evolving, and eventually destroying and conquering the world. Well, that is how they would want it.

Not that I am intentionally categorizing humans on this planet. I am Celeste Akira, twenty years old, who lives in Seattle; although I am barely there, I would still call it home. I am like other people on this planet who would fall under average. I got lucky, I guess. I am fortunate to live my dream career, which provides me with a roof over my head and three meals a day. However, I become lonely at night and sometimes feel empty, as if my life is not complete. Do you know that phrase "curiosity killed the cat"? This curiosity is why I am here, in this place, unknown to the world and the rest of civilization, my current society, that is.

"How in the world did you get yourself there?" One would ask, and I would answer, "because of my curiosity and hair." Yes, indeed, my hair.
