Chapter 1: Genesis [1/3]
_March 25th, 2030_
It was the early hours of a radiant morning, and the only light illuminating the tiny room Alister inhabited was the brilliant sunlight streaming through his window and the small holes punctuating the wall of his room.
Aside from the worn‐out foam on which Alister presently slept, there stood a small cupboard with a chair positioned beside it, he habitually repurposed the cupboard as a makeshift table whenever the need arose. There was also a small bag containing the few clothes he possessed, a plastic bucket, and a small waste basket near the door, where he kept his trash.
With but a single glance, one could immediately discern just how miserable Alister's living conditions were. He was the proverbial church rat, existing at the very lowest echelon of humanity.
RING... RING
His phone, resting atop the cupboard, vibrated as the blaring sound of the alarm reverberated throughout the tiny room.
"Ahhhh!"
Alister awoke with a frustrated shout as he swiftly reached out to silence the insufferable alarm.
"Yet another day with no good sleep," Alister lamented as he used his right hand to push aside his unruly, messy white hair that was obstructing his vision, revealing a pair of deeply sleep-deprived blue eyes.
Alister possessed a notably exquisite appearance, aside from his striking white hair and ocean-blue eyes, he boasted a sharp jawline and an attractive facial structure. Combined with his impressive 6'2 stature, he could effortlessly become a top-class model if given the opportunity.
Nevertheless, Alister never felt truly excited about his handsomeness, for it was nearly impossible to attract a girlfriend given his dismal living conditions.
