《The Software Detective》1.1 The day everything changed

Running down the alley, with a hailstorm of bullets chasing me, destroying everything around me. I turned the corner of the alleyway and ran around the dumpster and took a seat. I had to think fast those goons could have started to follow me. Looking in front of me, I saw a cat drinking from a bowl of milk. Hearing voices coming down the alleyway, quickly I got up and made a mad dash for the door. I must have frightened the cat because it made a noise and leaped away. Opening the door, I went inside and shut the door behind me. The shop was dark and quiet, which was strange for a bakery at this hour. The likely hood of me tripping an alarm was very low because the back door was open but I was only buying so much time, it was only a matter of time before they find me. Looking around the shop, I looked for a place to hide, so I can find a place to collect my thoughts and bid a little more time. Near the big table in the room, there was a closet. Walking in, I sat on the floor and caught my breath.
Sitting down next to a large bag of flour, I took a deep breath. Shit, how did this happen? All I wanted to do was have a nice night and relaxed in my new apartment. After searching all over the city, I finally found the divine pastry, but that plan went to hell.
Suddenly, I heard the back door open. The person walked in and turned on the light. It started to shine at the bottom of the door, revealing their shadow. Darn, I thought I would have had a lot more time; these guys were relentless. But everything would be fine if I just stayed quiet.

Then my phone chimed. In the middle of the chase I didn't silence my phone. I was completely fucked. Reaching into my pocket, it was Syd again. "Hey are you okay? Call me as soon as you can." she texted. I didn't have time to answer her, so I turned off my phone.
I could hear the footsteps move closer to the door. The person knew where I was at, and the possibility of me getting out of here with a friendly chat was very low. My only option was to fight. I looked around frantically for anything that could be a weapon. There was only a rolling pin; beggars can't be choosers, I guess. I grabbed the kitchen tool and readied myself for a fight.
I could see their shadow completely over took the door, the knob turned, and the door opened.

I am leaving that iteration of the story up un-edited for future reference and for anyone curious.

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
