Unaware

Harbor, July X, 199X, 7:30 AM

In the bustling street of the harbor, you can see a family of three walking, the family consists of father Robert Paschal, the mother Celine Paschal, and the kid Kyle Paschal.

"Hurry up Kyle! Move faster! We're going to miss the boat!" Yelled Celine to Kyle who is currently fascinated by the things the locals were selling.

"Yes Mom! Coming!" Answered Kyle. But Kyle's interest was caught by one of the things on sale. It was a withered old book, covered in symbols that looked like a kid's scribble. Kyle was at the age where kids collect things that interest them, and that withered old book interest Kyle.

"Hello, is this for sale?" Kyle asked. The seller looked at him pointing at the book and said,

"Yes. It's for sale for $5" Clearly the seller sees him as an easy catch to trick, but unfortunately Kyle is much more intelligent than he looks.

"Hmm, that's pricey. How about $1?" Said Kyle to the seller.

"No, kid. That's too low. $4.50!" Returned the seller.

"But the book's already old no? $2!" Retorted Kyle.

"Yeah it's old, that's why it's valuable! $4!" Said the seller.

"What is valuable about a scribbled book? $3!" Returned Kyle.

"Deal! The book's yours kid! Haha!" The seller took the offer, and now Kyle owns the book. But is the book really worth his money? This question is asked not to Kyle, but to the pissed off mother behind him. And maybe he felt his Mom's angry energy behind him, Kyle turned his head around and saw his mother smiling at him with a vein pulsing on her neck.

"Hi, Mom" Squeaked Kyle. Scared of what his Mom might do to him.

"What did I say about buying useless stuff, Kyle?" Asked Celine. But Kyle answered this by running away to his father while saying,

"I'mmmmm Soooooorrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!!"

"Hey! Hey, Kyle!!! Come back Heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrreee!" Celine chased after Kyle.

But what Kyle didn't know, was the book he bought on a whim, will become a very important turning point in his life.
