Wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, kiss wife, say “goodbye”, go to work………
Every day I repeated the same boring routine. I always fantasied and daydream, about magically transporting to some far world. I will be stronger, faster and have cool mystical powers. I thought to myself “if only I could be some hero out of a fairy tale. Life won’t be so boring. I could hunt to treasures, fight monsters, and save the princess. And fuck, just imagine getting some tight magic elf princess pussy.”
If only I had known………

“Good morning my beautiful woman”, I said, as my wife walks into the kitchen half asleep. “Want some coffee love?” already I had started pouring coffee into a mug for her.
“Thank you, babe. I’m still so tired. Didn’t sleep much last night, super anxious about this interview.” She said, with an edge of exhaustion in her voice.
My wife wasn’t the kind of women who could just sit at home and play the part of a homemaker. She was the kind of women to thrived in competitive situations. She had been laid off almost two months ago. At first, she was content to take a couple of weeks to relax, but that sense of contentment only lasted about three days. She has been looking for a new job since then with no luck.
“I’m sure you’ll do fine. And if you don’t land the job it’s not a big deal. It’s not like we're short on money.”
“Ya, I know. I’m just sitting of sitting around the house all day doing nothing.” She sighed. She grabbed the remote to turn on the morning news. Her eyes went wide as read the news headline.

I was facing away from the news, but I instantly noticed the shocked expression on her face.” Another mass shooting?” I asked.
“No, look,” she said pointing at the TV. She unmuted the tv and turn up the volume.
“The death toll is currently estimated to over 300,000. We still haven’t received any more details on this mysterious structure, that suddenly appeared. “The television showed a live video feed from a news helicopter. A massive black tower had erupted from the destroying a large portion of downtown London. Emergency vehicle lights could be seen everywhere, as firemen, police, and paramedics work to rescue survivors.
“This just in Strange glowing text has appeared on near the base of what people are now dubbing “The Monolith”; Our as scene reporter is us a picture of the text right now. It reads as follows. Humans of Gaia, your entire race is nearing an extinction level event. In exactly 4 years from today, they’ll be able to pass through the gate to this realm. They wish for the complete destruction of humanity. As it is now, you stand no chance of survival. That is why I’ll releasing 1,000,000 of you from Gaia’s prison. Then maybe against all odds, a few heroes will arise, with the abilities and power needed to stand against them. Remember this, we are the child of the goddess Gaia. The goddess of change and evolution. We are the devourers. The fate of humanity is in your hands.”
My wife glanced at with a look of fear on her face. “Do you think is real”, she asked.
“I doubt it, it's probably just a video game or movie ad.” I reached across the table and grab my car keys. “Anyways babe, I got to get going to work.”

Stood up from the table, ready to make my way out the door, but I started to hear the weirdest sound. It’s was like listening to a thousand different materials being ripped apart all at once. I looked to forwards my wife
“What was that, the TV?”
She looked at me, ready to say something. But instead, she screamed “AHHH! Behind you”
I turned around, only to see darkest. It was like someone ripped space itself apart, and I left staring through the dark void.
‘If you stare into the void, it will eventually stare back at you’. Well, that wasn’t the case for me, because the fucking void literally grabbed my face. Within a split second, a hand, made completely out of darkness, shoot out and attached to my face.
“What the fuck! Get it off” I scream.
Before I could even finish what, I was screaming, it had already pulled me through the rent in space. As I was pulled further, in the sound of my wife’s cries ended abruptly. The hand suddenly disappeared, leaving me floating in the abyss. Be turned my head backing looking for a way back, but I was completely surrounded by the dark nothingness of the void. I tried screaming, but no sound left my lips.
I started to feel pressure in my head, and my consciousness began slipping away. ‘No! I need to get back to my wife’ the thought scream in my head. Rage and anger flowed through keeping me self aware.
After a few moments, the pressure vanished, leaving me to my thoughts.
‘Where am I....? This can’t be real.’ My heart pumped in my chest, and cold sweat covered my body. ‘I’m scared.’
The longer I was there, the more terror and panic lead my thoughts.
‘I’m going to die…’
‘I’ll never see my wife again…’
***
I had been drifting for days now. The terror and panic had receded into the back of mind. I had all but excepted the dead that awaited me.
I am thirsty and hungry. It was only a matter of time before I dead dehydration.
‘I really won’t get to see her again.’ I began to cry, tears rolling welling up it the corner of my eyes.
I close my eye and began to wipe the tears away with my hand. Without gravity, the tears would just continue to pool up in front of my eyes. But this time when I opened them, there was someone floating in front of me.
Just like the hand that pulled me in here, this being appeared to be made of darkness.
