They were the breakers and the krumpers. The krumpers were always looking for trouble. One day, the krumpers picked on the breakers who were just minding their own business, and wanted to start a battle. How would the battle end? Who will win the battle? Is winning more important than friendship? It’s all up to you to judge.

It was only today did it dawn upon me that I was no longer in control of my actions. I had become a puppet of my own shadows that alone seemed more powerful than thy actual self. They follow me. I awake every morning with deep dread, feeling my insides intoxicated with the poison and the guilt I had brought upon myself. With every ticking of the clock I get more out of control, with every moment haunting me to revive horrors of the past. I have tried time and again to revive my soul, but no. Time is of the essence, and I’ve wasted every minute from the moment all this began. It is too late.
