Everything began on a clear cold night in Tokyo's 4th Ward.

He still didn't know why he just didn't run away like his instincts screamed at him to do.

Why? Why didn't he just run? He should have run as far and as fast as he could away from that man as was possible and disappeared into the night. It would have been the smartest decision he had ever made in his life, and yet... he didn't.

"Things are not always as they appear."

People are the perfect example of this quote. They have many faces, none of which may be their true self. He was the epitome.

He knew from the moment their gazes met in that dark alley. He knew. He saw the bloodstained shadow of the savage monster that lurked, patiently biding its time beneath that soft, polite tone and unassuming expression.

Perhaps he was just tired of running, of hiding, of being alone.

Yes, that had to be why he ignored his raging instincts.

Solitude is a terrible thing. The desperate need to connect with another, to not be alone... that was why he took the monster's outstretched hand.

That was how he sealed his own fate...

Author's Notes: And so, I'm just digging myself deeper into a very dark unending hole of future stories that I want to write, but may not get around to finishing. -_-

This is a simple preview almost prologue of sorts for a Tokyo Ghoul story, and yes the main character is male, the 'love interest' - if you can even call it that at this point in the story - is also male. I'm trying to branch off from my normal female main character point of view and the common female-male relationships that I'm used to writing for growth as a writer. So, if you're not into that kind of thing then I'm sorry.

The rating and content of this story is very much subject to change, as in be very Mature, if I continue this.

Thank you for reading and your time. - SLBG
