Chapter 2 - The Twist

I really should have figured we would get stuck here, but at that I point I didn't know what 'here' was. Ignorance was not bliss for me.

I've always been a curious person; I've always questioned why, tried to figure out how this or that works, and so on. So when I finally completely registered where we were, I began to wonder why it was here, and so on.

Alma had fallen asleep in my arms, and so I let her rest on my back while I walked us along in the desert. For once I was glad I hadn't been a complete lazy-ass gamerlike some of the people I knew were. I still had my backpack with me, and that was slung on my right shoulder so it wasn't uncomfortable for Alma.

I wanted to sit down and talk with her, that's what I was truly curious about. I haven't known anyone else my entire life that could see ghosts, so wasn't it natural to want to talk with someone you can relate to? Still, I let her rest; whatever had happened back there had drained her.

More to come... (No this isn't the end of the chapter, but I have stuff to do)
