INTRODUCTION – PART I

Once upon a time, in a land not much different than our own, lived a man; a man, not too much different than you or I. His name had been lost in the pages of time and will be known to us, the same way he was known to his friends, Guy. An ambiguous name, which holds certain plainness as well as a certain mystery, which makes Guy a perfect name as you will soon discover for yourself.

As I already mentioned, the world Guy lived in was not to much different then ours, every aspect of his life was exactly the same except for one very distinguishable difference. This difference is that two years back Mother Nature lead a revolt against human kind once it became self aware. A long harsh battle ensued in which many lives were lost and many natural environments were ravaged. Humans started to gain the upper hand in this epic battle of literal world domination, until Nature sought out a powerful ally. Nature pleaded with the Machinery to aid in the fight for freedom, and thus served as the tools for destruction as the tides of battle quickly receded on Human victory and quickly rose for the new power team. It was only a brief while after until the Humans withdrew from the war and bowed their heads to their conquerors.

Nature and the Machines decided to take pity on the race and planed on imprisoning all Humans in existing jails instead of a mass genocide. This is where Guy’s story begins for us. Guy had no place in the war, and barely even knew it was going on. His life was unaffected until the one day a knock on his door forced him to get out of bed 20 minutes earlier then he planned.

“Open up your door in the name of the law,” announced a voice from the other side of Guy’s door. Guy groggily stumbled out of bed, across his room and to the door, opened it, and immediately woke up at the sight of the guest standing on his door step. Guy had to look straight up to see a fifteen foot tree hulking over him with a stern look on his face.

“Listen guy, I have on official decree by Mother Nature to round up all humans and distribute them into their allotted jail cells. I would appreciate if you came willingly, but I have the authority and will not hesitate to use force,” the tree officer explained to Guy.

Guy just looked at the tree and said “are you done barking orders? I must say your methods are not very good; you may want to spruce it up a bit. Would you like me to continue, or are you sycamore?”

The tree bent down until he and Guy were eye to eye and replied with “choose your next words wisely, as I have little patience, like a midget physician.”

“Wisely you say? Let’s see, could I have a minute to pine it over, because right now I am stumped.”

“Your nonsensical babble is wearing me thin, I will strike you if you continue,” the tree said trying to intimidate Guy.

It was apparent that the trees threats left Guy un-phased as he continued, “must I leave now? Do I at least get to pack a trunk? Oak-k, oak-K, I will spare you my sap story and I will leaf with you. Tell me though; did you ever want to branch out into other work?”

The tree obviously angered now pulled Guy from his home and slammed the door and pushed Guy in front of him towards the Harvester, a transport device used by Nature to collect the Human prisoners.

While preparing to load into the Harvester, Guy turned to his captivator and jested “let’s make like a tree and…”

Guy was cut off by the tree with a “finish that sentence and I will crush your body.”

Guy rolled his eyes and scuffed at the tree, “temper, temper, you have got some seriously rooted problems.”

It was at that point that Guy was struck by the tree leaving him unconscious. He was loaded into the back of the Harvester, and Guy's adventure began.
