Hello, I am james McCarther, and I live in the town of Chaos Edge. Just as the name states, this town is very chaotic. Police are so corrupted they don't even do their job anymore. Someone needed to put some type of order into the town. . .unfourtunatly, I suppose that had to be me. Yes, I'm another one of those superheroes you hear so much of, but I use something different than gadgets or self-aquired powers. I use my brain. I am the mask, and I do my best to take care of all the scum inside the town. Now then, here's my life story.
Chaos Edge 3:15 P.M.
"So Jim, where ya going after school today?" Ricky, my best friend asked.
"I really have no !#@% idea what to do after school anymore" I replied.
Outside was always dangerous. The smog and dark atmosphere of Chaos Edge made it easy for thugs and gangsters to pickpocket and mug. I can't even go to the arcade without a gun! There's so much going on right now it's unbeleivable! Plus, if you were in my school, I'm pretty sure you'd be dead. The girls don't pick on the guys for fear of a bullet, and the guys have fist-fights for fun. Almost everyone has a juvy record, and those who don't are beaten up. Everyones spirit is broken at my school, except for me at least.
"Daydreaming again pal?" Ricky asked.
Snapping up my head, I looked at him as if I didn't know him.
"Whyr'ya looking at me that way dude?" He responded with a bit of defense.
"Huh? Did you say something?" I said, barely even knowing what he said. He looked behind his shoulder and saw my crush.
"Ahhh, got the hormones up yer spine eh?" Ricky teased. Pretty much ignoring the comment, I just looked down, halfway ashamed.
"Don't be that way bud, plenty have fallen for her," Ricky paused, "or at least at her feet."
Continuing our walk to our houses, we bid farewell and went to our adjacent apartments. Due to the increasing amount of murder in Chaos Edge, people started to open apartment homes especially for orphans. The owners were mainly poor, but paid the officials by killing or. . .*ahem* prostitution. Terrible place Chaos Edge is, but there's nowhere else to go. Chaos Edge is the last remaining place where there is humans. I sat down and thought for a good 3 hours, conversed with Ricky through my wall, and cried myself to bed.

Chaos Edge 2:13 P.M.
I looked up at the clock, 2:13, and slumped my head onto my desk. I kept on hearing the havoc of the night last night, and only got somewhere near 1-3 hours of sleep last night. It's only one of those cruddy bully lectures. . .maybe I can just let my eyes close for a couple of minutes. . . Within the minute I was already asleep.
"James! Wake up! Now!" Ms. Rodgery yelled.
"Huh? What? Is it the Holocaust yet?" I asked with a sleepy tone
"No. . .but you slept through class again." She replied. After some jiber jabber about pretty much nothing, I went outside to my next class.
"Well if it isn't little snoozy." Greg, nicknamed 'glug' jeered.
"Listen Glug, I don't have anything to say to you besides that you don't have enough smarts for me to even listen to you," I paused for a second, "so you can go rot in hell for all I care, go away." Infuriated, Glug threw his fist at me. I was knocked down, and my vision was getting blurry.
"Heheheh, we'll learn you not to mess with me" glug said.
Chaos Edge 8:12 PM
"Ugh, where the !#@$ am I?" I whispered to myself.
"Your in the dead house comrade" A silhouette said beside me. I looked around and only saw that I was chained to a wall and there was a dim light.
