6Hey, this is AgentKajiTheWolf bringing you the first chapter in my latest story 'Digital Rebirth'.
The sands of the desert are blown around by the raging sandstorm, the sandstorm is about 5 miles wide by 6 miles long and 1 mile high. Within the storm a lone figure walks alone, in search of civilization. 'I've been wandering through this desert for days now... Could I be going in a damn circle?' The man in desperately lost and in need of water. The water in his canteen has been depleted as of the day before. The ginger cat is wearing a brown robe with its hood pulled up, goggles, and a bandana to keep the sand out of his mouth and nose as he breathes. Underneath he wears brown boots, brown pants, a dark brown belt, and a white t-shirt. 'I come out here looking to find ancient artifacts and the next thing I know I am lost in the desert after the others abandon me.' Thought the man in bitter disgust remembering his "comrades" when they left him in the desert. The man suddenly fell as the ground took a sharp drop that the storm had covered up and he goes tumbling down the sandy dune to the bottom.
He hit the grown with a pain-filled 'Thud' and groaned as he sat up. 'Well that didn't help this situation at all. I hope I didn't break something.' The cat checked himself over and found nothing broken or injured in a way that could debilitate him. The cat reached out to push himself up but felt something on the ground but it wasn't sand. When he picked it up he saw a data chip. 'What the heck, this thing looks to be about 200 years old. Is it even usable?' asked the cat in confusion as he put it away, not noticing the symbol on the back. The sandstorm begins to settle as the man resumes his journey and as luck would have it, there is a city just on the horizon. 'Thank goodness, a city and hopefully a way home' thought the cat. The man bought a change of clothes in a store and went to the airport to catch a plane to New Mobotropolis in Northamer. The cat eventually boarded the plane and waited for take off. While sitting in his seat, he pulls out his laptop and inserts the chip. While he is opening the window that would reveal what was on the chip the plane took off heading for 10,000 feet for cruising to their destination. When the window pulled up it was just a blank black void with nothing showing up. After a few seconds the window became flooded with an advanced programing language beyond anything that should be able to exist, words and numbers just filling up the void and writing themselves out quickly. 'What the hell?' thought the cat as suddenly all of the code disappeared. The screen on his laptop began to become distorted as all the data on it became corrupted and the plane's systems shut down causing it to begin going down.
"Everyone please remain in your seats. We ask that you assume the emergency landing position." says a flight attendant over the intercom and everyone except the cat assumes the position. He saw the screen distort some more before a loud crash was heard and the man was flung from his seat. After a few moments the man regains consciousness and looks over at the burning plane. The cat tries to stand up and get to them to see if there are other survivors, but to no avail as the plane explodes. Coughing the man looks around and sees his, somehow, intact computer with a blank screen. As his vision fades he hears," 911. What is your emergency?" "I'm calling about a plane crash just outside of Tyrus City." "Hang on, we're sending emergency teams now..." The cat then lost consciousness as the call ended.
The responders got there in 10 minutes but couldn't find the one who called, but found the only survivor and his laptop. "Wow, how could this thing crash and this guy be the only survivor?" asks one of the responders. "I don't know Rick, lets just get him to the hospital." replies another as the other two get the cat on a stretcher and get him in an ambulance. The cat is rushed to the hospital where he lay asleep the only injuries he had were a couple of cuts, none life threatening, and a few bruises. When the injured cat is alone the computer, which they left in the room with him, suddenly displays an icy blue power symbol in the top right hand corner of the screen. Then there comes a voice from the speakers saying," You will not die today, David. You will get well, but this is only the beginning of your greatest adventure and your greatest discovery..."
Well, there you have it. Chapter one of 'Digital Rebirth'. I do hope you enjoyed it, an I also hope that you favorite or review the story. I love Constructive criticism.
