Wake me up before I change again

Remind me the story that I won't get insane

Tell me why it's always the same

Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain

As always after a day of school, I was sitting on my laptop, listening to some music, surfing the internet, occasionally popping up Skype and checking for messages. I looked at the clock. 16:42

Ugh.. As always, I have nothing to do. Don't have the patience to boot up a game. Damn this depression.

Skype bleeped. I checked, and noticed a new contact request. "Huh? Who the hec- 'Equestrian Transportation Protocol'.." Alright, I've seen some trolls in my lifetime, but this beat it all. Who would fall for that?

Oh well, might as well accept. Trolls are amusing.

I chuckled as I accepted the contact request. Almost instantly, it requested a file transfer. I checked my anti virus. Up to date, protecting.. Damned be my curiosity, I thought as I clicked accept. The file was ominously small. 'Transporter.exe'. I right clicked, and scanned it. Nothing. Let's see what this troll has in store. I clicked. Nothing happened on screen.

Huh. Can't say I expected much, but this is downright disappointing.

Wait.. I'm on the god damned 2nd floor!

I rushed down the stairs. If the house was disappearing underneath me, I'd fall. I proceeded outside, and looked around. The world was disappearing in every direction, forming a perfect circle with me as center. When I moved, more of the world disappeared so it stayed centered. The world wasn't forming around me though. I only realized that when I was standing on a small circular plate of grass in... Nothingness.

What the goddamned fuck is going on??

I begun freaking out mentally. I didn't dare move. The disintegration had stopped, as if it was waiting for me to step into the nothingness. After a few minutes of mental arguing, I came to the realization that it was either stepping into nothing, or starving on this grass area. Even if it meant death, I'd rather die instantly than starve. I jumped in. Then everything blacked out...
