Beyond The Spectrum: Prologue
Hello people. This is my first time releasing anything onto SoFurry & I hope you think it's good.
This is a Prologue to a story called Beyond the Spectrum & it's about one of many furry's number one what-if questions: What if Pokemon were in the real world? So I decided to write the Prolouge of this & post it onto here.
Please note it may not be that long but I will have more if anyone thinks this is any good.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon; all the rights are retained by Satsoshi Tajiri & any religion portrayal is not relevant to the real religion whatsoever.
Enjoy!
It is amazing how one person can determine how you live your life in general. It can be a good person or a bad person and he, or she that is, can help you become the person you're destined to become.
But who can that work? How do we know who that person is and more importantly, how do they come into our lives? We never know; heh, that's the answer. Plain as simple and there's not a single thing complicated about it. Although this may be the case, environmental determinism which states that your environment determines how you view the world can also be a factor to how you view the worlds & in the world I live in, that saying is almost sad but true.
Well, you know Pokémon right? Well, I live with them; only one small problem.
They live with us in what you call "The Real World." Planet Earth, United States, Europe, Middle East, Wal-Mart; it's all together in one. Heak, even President Theodore Roosevelt had an Arcanine for god's sakes. Not only that, we also have the hybrids of Pokemons & Humans that you know them well as Anthros & Pokémorphs; other not so nice words include: Hay-Breeds, Half-Mess, Feral-Heads, Furry-Trash; you name it, I know it. I was raised around those names; names that still continue to haunt me & my life each and every day.
Take it from me; I may be Human but I still have feelings. I was raised in a household that was overly religious; not your average goes to church and follows The Bible type of religious, The Neurotic, overly passionate, you must follow God or be nothing type of religious. Being raised in that southern plantation style house in the middle of Georgia wasn't pretty but it was my home & I loved it for many reasons; it was a part of my life.
My Childhood wasn't bad; it was generally good but...it had its setbacks. My Father wanted me & my older brothers to be pastors for any church he could set its eyes on. I remember how he wanted everyone to be the first ones there on Sunday; front seats, loudest ones singing; it just got to a point where he made me want nothing to do with my religion whatsoever. That he made me want to pursue something I want to be & not something he wanted to be but I can't say the same for my brothers; my oldest brother Konrad became one of those famous pastors that you see on TV & my other brother Jeremiah (but we called him Jeremy) became a Missionary in Thailand.
Oh, how am I supposed to say anything about my family when you know absolutely nothing about me? My name's Aaron Carrick but call me Rock. Why? It's a family name from when I was a kid. Let's put it this way: when you see a big oak tree at your family reunion, are you not going to climb it? Hello, it's basically calling you! Well I tried to climb it, and I fell; it was a fail that was coming but my head broke my fall and I didn't even get hurt. My Family laughed & my Grandpa said 'He's as tough as a rock!' Thus, Rock became known.
Well anyway like I said, my two brothers were obviously foreshadowed in my father's footsteps and it became apparent that I didn't want to wither into that. I wanted to be more involved with the world, to be less resembling of my family, to be more involved with Pokémon as well.
Pokémon weren't generally the envy of my father's life. He always despised certain types of them even though like me, brought up to love all of God's creatures, he'd still rather not have them living at all. But Anthros...He was a racist; at least he wasn't a part of the KKK, he still liked other ethnicities; it was just those two in the spectrum and nothing else.
It was hard. Having to deal with all of the bullshit that he put on me, I was lucky that I didn't end up like him. It's like I said at the beginning: the one person that helps determine who you are. I have that person in my life but it certainly wasn't my father, it was someone more important.
It was my best friend who later became the love of my life. If she wasn't in my life, I don't know what my life would be like to be honest with you; I never will know unless she actually wasn't in my life. You don't see me wishing that anytime soon for the rec but and I'm glad I'm not.
To answer your questions, yes she's an Anthro & I really don't like saying that. It's too degrading but that's who she is to everyone else but to me, she's everything and always will be.
I remember all of my time with her; right to when we first met, right to when I went Beyond The Spectrum.
Well that is it; for now.
