It was a normal day for everyone. The rain was soft yet heavy, creating a slight mist across the world. Most were just going about their day, not even taking notice of the world around them. But you liked the rain. The soft sounds as it hit the ground, the smell of the Earth as the sky rejuvenated the ground with what seemed like fresh tears. A somber atmosphere, but one you welcomed quite well.

As you are about to cross an intersection, suddenly you stop. You hear a voice, clear in your mind.

'The games have begun.'

It was only a moment, but it felt like the world stopped. And when you came back to reality, everything was as before. The rain was still coming down, though it felt different to you now. As if something in you suddenly awakened, allowing you to see the world unlike you had before. But you don't dwell on it too long, as the light turns red and the sign tells you to cross.

So, you take that first step.
