About the author: The author of "Pocket" is a fun 14 year old. They're also an avid reader.

Tac was the kind of cat that you would love to have. I loved that cat with all my heart, and he is my best friend.

I am Bishwaffl. I'm an entrepreneur that works alone in Sakha, Russia. I need closure on what my father was doing in the basement, because when I was a child, my family was very dysfunctional. We always fought and got into a lot of arguments.

Eventually, they all left to go make lives for themselves. I just wanted to find out what secret was hidden from me all those years. I needed closure on who my father was. In order to find out who he is, I will go back to my old home in Bing Bink Russia.

When I arrived, I immediately rented a car, because my client did not have the time to pick me up. I drove out to the designated area where my old town was, Bing Bink.

When I got there, I turned off down the road, and came to a shrub-covered area untouched for decades. I walked through the bushes, cringing at the thought of getting dirty. After about fifteen minutes of walking, I arrived at my old family home. I saw my father’s old telescope, I remembered him always spending hours looking up at the stars. I walk around in the house heading to the front door. As I got closer I felt sleepy, then crumpled to the floor unconscious.

As I woke, I found myself in a large pit in a room. I walked out of the pit and saw walls that are made of stones with no doors. . . nothing. As I walked around, my quickly deteriorating sanity caused me to panic. I hears a purring sound come toward me. I turn to see Tac standing there looking at me.

I went to him and he started to growl. I got up and stoodd in front of him. Then he started to shake. Before I knew it, there was a second Tac adjacent to him. Tac started to shake and multiply. A few minutes later a third of the room was filled with them. I started toward them but I heard the wall behind me crumble.

I turned to see a room that is full of furniture. When I turned toward the cats out of curiosity, I noticed that they a were walking toward me in a fighting stance. Fortunately, a sharp transparent weapon is now in the place of where the pit once was. I walk toward the weapon and seize it. At that moment, the Tacs start to run at me, knowing they can't be real. I slash at the animal and it screeches, then blows up into a crimson cloud. As soon I do so, the other sprint toward me.

I turn and run in the direction of the furniture room. I swing and swing at the creatures, but some would not be injured, so I avoided them. But then, I had taken care of the ones that would be defeated by my weapon.

I grab one. It starts scratching and cuts my hands. I throw it on the ground and hear a crack, and it bursts into a mess that can only be described as. . . unspeakable. I start to do the same for the rest, but I felt horrible because I had just killed an army of feline friends. And by all the scratches on my hand, it looks as if they had been carved numerous times by little blades.

I walk around for about a minute and just crumple to the floor.

I wake in a large maze with the walls covered in grease. I am confused, so I start to walk around but I was met with a loop back to where I was. This was puzzling to me, so I began again. But then a booming voice blares through the air:

“ YOU MUST FIGHT THE DEFEATED IF THOU DOES NOT WISH TO BE DEFEATED.”

At that moment, some of the walls in the maze crumble, revealing a dark abyss. I stagger back and the maze splits into large chunks and the floor rises, sending me above the maze. I blink and they are all around me, some familiar others not so much. I remember some targets I have killed in the past as a government assassin.

They rise and instantly start attacking me. I push past them with a burst of speed. I stumble, but quickly regain my balance I dart through the hordes of souls. I continue to run but one creature grabs my arm and tries to drag me across the the ground toward the abyss. It screeches and pulls, but I push it off, and it vanishes into the abyss. I push the others that had crept up behind me and dart away. I slip and fall over. I slide on the ground onto a strange symbol and go unconscious.

I wake in a white room with no doors and no windows, as I suspected. I realized that this can't be real because the things I have seen cannot be explained as far as I know. I brought myself to my feet and looked around. When I blink and open my eyes, again to see my cat standing there. I go to him and pet him. I sit petting him, feeling relaxed. It felt like a dream. I open my eyes feeling comfort and sleepy. As soon as I stand up the floor breaks away leaving a thirty foot drop into a strange room that looks as if it were a gold throne room.

I felt a throbbing pain all across my body. I felt betrayed, confused, broken, alone, sleepy. I sat there for a minute or two, then bring myself to my feet, and notice a large creature on the ground. It wore long white fur and had some kind of diamond pendant. It turned to reveal a shrouded hood and a horn protruding from the top of its head.

It stepped toward me. Then the walls crumble, revealing a sandy ground with nothing but black. It turns around and looks frightened. Out of the darkness a colossal bony hand with golden bracelet grabs the creature, and lifts it into the darkness.

I fell back and a withered creature crawled out wearing a golden crown. I turned and ran it crawled after me with insane speed. I saw the sharp sword. I picked it up and ran towards the beast and swings at me I tripped and dodge it. I ran at it and it flung me away. I got up everything hurt, it let out a defining screech, and crawled toward me,I slashed at it bracelets and it cracked effortlessly. It gave me a death stare and it charged me. I jumped out of the way, and I found myself behind it. It reeked of ash and bad meat, and it seems to only have had a snake like tail. I slashed at it’s tail and it bend it’s back over with a crunch and fell back in terror.

I winced at how flexible the thing was, at that moment it’s arms crunched back, and it flipped over and crawled toward me. I swung my arm and it swatted me at the same time and I heard a heavy crackle of my right arm breaking. I fell to the ground holding my arm I noticed the bone poking out. I grabbed the sword with my left hand and sliced off the bracelet, and it bloody torn wrist is revealed, I ran toward it and slice it’s wrist, and cats spilled out onto the ground. it screeched and fell to the ground with a heavy thud. I watched in confusion as this all played out, I walked a few steps before falling unconscious.

I woke up inside my family home, back in the real world hopefully. I got to my feet and found a diamond on the ground. I picked it up it was very cold and rough. I walked to the basement and opened the door and walk down the stairs. I walked up to the stone wall and placed the diamond on the ledge on the wall. The wall rose up, causing a heavy cloud of dust to spread everywhere that smells old and clogged up my throat.

I had discovered the truth that been hidden all these years. I see that my father worked for the government as the recovery team for extraterrestrial specimens and they had the ability to create pocket dimensions.

”A pocket dimension is a place controlled by a single user who has the power to do anything it wants. ”

I stagger back and realizing that I had been manipulated into a pocket dimension by someone or something. It was a lot to take in so I searched around my fathers notes and discover his recent recovery. His team had recovered a species known as ithnights. The notes say that when they had found them one of the scientists vanished right before their eye. I realized that I once had the information about a whole species of extraterrestrials right under my nose.

I grabbed the research and ran out the front door of the house. I ran and got in the car. I set a waypoint to the nearest hospital to heal my arm. As I put all the research in the back of the car I notice ⅓ carved into the dashboard. I looked around, a cold chill went down my back then realize it has only just begun.
