you and your older brother, nightmare, were laying near a river during the middle of the night. It's been a week since this alien creature has destroyed most of the country (if you've read "Perjiee & Me", then you know what the fuck is going on). The two of you have been living on the streets since you were 4, and nightmare was 6, and they two of you had been stealing things to survive for the past 10 years, so things aren't exactly different Nightmare: "Looks like it's us against the world"
