Foreword: Um, hey. I've been lurking around this site as a guest for a while already, and eventually my addiction to Touhou has caused me to create an account and post my own stuff. I hope you the reader can tolerate anything you find bad in my fic, and offer all your criticism. Please enjoy my story.

This is frustrating.
Is what I am thinking to myself while lying on my bed.
I am not sleeping, I am merely trying to clear my thoughts after what happened.
You wouldn't be able to sleep too, if you got fired by your company thirteen hours earlier, the stock you invested in suddenly pummeled to nothing three hours before and your wife just stomped out of your house three minutes ago.
"You are bankrupt, much as I love you, I need money, I need a home, and you will have none."
She's right, she's absolutely correct, but can I help it? Even this very piece of furniture I am lying on is going to be taken away to compensate for my debt, and is this any of my fault?
No, it isn't mine.
But I still can go up to the damn god responsible for this, and make him pay.
I sat up and opened my drawer, revealing some pens, loose papers, mobile phone...and a handgun.
I picked the gun up, and loaded it.
As the cold surface of metal rested on my cheek, I feel surprisingly calm despite what I am going to do. I looked around the room, and tried to feel all those good things in my life for one last time, like how those movie stars do.
The ticking clock, how long will it keep ticking?
...
The dripping tap, how long will it keep dripping?
...
The humming ...wait, no, this isn't the sound of anything ....
"こんにちは〜私は、何か面白いことにつまずいていない?"
The sudden foreign voice has stopped me for a brief second, before I turn around to face the source of the voice....
I am greeted by the most mysterious, if not most frightening, scene of my life.
The once-empty area behind my desk now have a blonde woman poking her head through....what seems like a gap with a lot of eyes in it and ribbons on the end. She's also wearing a pink cap with double
ribbons tied in front of it. I backed off, and end up ramming my back hard into the desk. But how would I feel pain with so many thoughts crossing my mind?
The silence is unsettling, at least for me, the blonde doesn't even look the least troubled.
I have so many questions I want to ask, and...
"Who ARE you?" I guess this is a start.
"Oh? So you speak English." is her reply.
...
"What are you?"
"Have I walked on something interesting?"
...Again, completely ignoring me.
"I am committing suicide here, and if that classifies as 'something interesting' for you, I am surprised, tell me what you are before I shoot you" Am I speaking faster than usual? No, definitely not out of fear.
"So you don't want to live in this world anymore?"
I point my gun towards the blonde.
"No, and you will regret staying here if you don't leave now." I spoke coldly.
"Oh? No, you will not regret going away if you leave now." I can feel a surge of heat rushing up my face.
"I hope you will amuse me for longer than those before, dear." The hell is wrong with her?
As sudden as she came, she retreated back into that purple gap thing, and it disappeared.
....
Then I am all alone again.
I suddenly regretted chasing her away.
....
What the...not this humming again...
I spun around, and rammed into my desk again, nope, nothing.
But the sound is still there, and it is louder.
Then I realized, it's coming from below.
Then I am falling.
Around me is nothing but darkness.
My sense tells me that although the environment around me looks the same, I am falling alarmingly fast.
I am scared out of my wits, all these just doesn't make sense.
I screamed, I screamed and screamed, but it doesn't end, it never does end, as I ran out of strength to scream I flailed my limbs, but when my whole body goes limp from exhaustion...
I am still falling.
I don't have any means to express my intense fear when falling through this neverending mass of darkness. I fainted.
But I am still falling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am lying on my bed.
Eyes closed, so it was a dream after all.
I let off a sigh of relieve, good, good.
I lifted myself with my hands....wait, what's this texture?
I looked down, I am holding blades of grass.
Oh no, oh no.
I looked up, facing a foreign night sky littered with stars, oh no, oh no.
Where am I?
I stood straight, and darted my eyes around, trees and grass...I am in a forest.
