Chapter 1 – The Letter That Changed Everything
Rain poured over the small town of Ashvale as Caleb Collins (19) lay on the roof of his house, drinking his favorite grape soda.
"Another boring day..." he sighed.
Inside the house...
"CALEB!!"
His older sister, Sadako, threw open the window.
"Get down here before dinner gets cold!"
Caleb laughed.
"I'm coming!"
---
During dinner, the siblings joked with each other.
"You'll never stop drinking soda, will you?" Sadako asked.
"Nope."
"You'll rot your teeth."
"Worth it."
Sadako rolled her eyes but smiled.
Their peaceful evening was interrupted by loud knocking.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Caleb opened the door.
No one was there.
Only a single black envelope rested on the porch.
Written on the front were the words:
To Caleb and Sadako Collins.
Caleb looked confused.
"I don't recognize this handwriting..."
Sadako carefully opened the envelope.
Inside was a faded letter.
> "If you're reading this, I'm still alive."
