It was 2025. You had already been suspended for a week already. Why? You hacked the school system to help remove something from your friends record. Now you were suspended for 2 weeks. You even tried to frame it as testing the school security system. Your parents were pissed at you but they were weird about it. They didn’t say they were proud of you but they said something along the lines of. Son what you did was very intelectual but also stupid. You’re grounded. So now you were scrolling social media on your old iPod because they had taken your phone and computer away. Suddenly you get a notification. It’s from Anthony. The friend you tried to cover for. “Holy shit dude. Look at this live. Click it!!!” You clicked on it and when you open it it’s very loud and chaotic. Then the phone gets put stationary and you can see a blonde man shirtless. And you can see the colors of sirens. You hear the man say “Stay the fuck away from me. I’m live-streaming this right now!” Then you see the man being tackled from two directions. And suddenly the screen goes bright. The man is glowing and he looks like he is on flame. Immediately your eyes nearly pop out. And you see the comments going crazy. Saying things like “Holy shit he’s doing it again!” Others going “We got fire crack heads before GTA 6 dawg”. And you finally notice that there were 10 million people watching the stream now. You look back and you can see the man throwing the officers away and shots being fired. You thought you would see the man go down and blood. But nothing came out. Except that the man yelled angrily and it looked like he was going to burn down the street then he passed out and you could see a group in special armor go in and apprehended him and put it in a black armored vehicle and the camera was left streaming. The comments were going crazy still but now they had questions about wether he was alive and what they were going to do and if this was real. Suddenly the screen moved and a person that looked like a swat officer grab the phone and turn off the livestream. This. This was your introduction the Ether.
