Chapter one:
I sit in front of the window, the rain pattering on it softly from outside. Staring out into the grey abyss, I search my deepest feelings and fish out memories and thoughts.
The never ending grey covers the horizon, and the waves of the sea grow and fall unorganized I look down to a book in my hand for an assignment of mine from school, but I just don’t feel the need to read it. I can’t stop staring intently out into the grey like some amazing rainbow will suddenly burst out of it.
I sat there for a few hours, repetitively trying to get back to reading. But I just could not stop looking. I get frustrated and slam my book down onto my window seat. “There has got to be something out there, something unusual at least!” I say as I lean my head against the cold window. Out of the corner of my eye, I see something green. Just one second of flashing green light, and it was gone again. I look up at where I saw the light come from, and to my surprise, it came back. It stayed for longer, the light getting bigger. Green was an unusual colour out here. I have not seen any airplanes or sea planes with any green lights.
I analyse the light for a bit and look over to my wall of posters at the opposite side of my room. It was wrapped with images of multi-coloured ponies, animals and all sorts of other things. But what stood out was the sickly green colour of the changeling poster.
I quickly look back at the light from outside. It was like blood veins of green in the grey. Something was going on here. Something abnormal to my expertise.
