Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: A ruined thanksgiving

Seung is a normal teenaged girl with a happy family. Not her whole life is happy, though. A band-aid she keeps in her nose is to cover a scar. The scar that reminds of the car crash she lost her father in. She was just a little kid when that happened. She wouldn't have been able to expect anything worse to happen after that. 

------------------------------------------------------------

"Seung, Chul! Your grandma invited us in for thanksgiving!", her mother's voice echoed from downstairs. 

Seung knew there was going to be the whole family. Way too many new people for her liking. She had never been interested in any kind social events. The only things she usually left home were for school and her summer part-time job. She was just lazing around on her bed and playing Mushroom Kart on her console, trying to delay leaving as much as possible. 

Until a loud voice made her flinch; "Seung Kwan! Out of your room and downstairs immediadly. Chul is already waiting.", shouted her mother. 

"Coming.", Seung responded plainly, dropping the console on her bed before walking out of her room. 

When she finally dragged herself downstairs, her mother's impatient foot-tapping or her mute little sister Chul's anxiously holding her phone didn't make her bored expression change at all. 

"Are we going now?", Chul said using a text to speech app on her phone. 

"Of course", their mother answered as they started walking towards the car. 

Arrival

Neither of Seung or Chul had ever visited their grandma. When they arrived, they looked around. They had neved seen a house that big. Granny sure had some money. The two looked around, trying to find the woman. She was nowhere to be seen. 

The mother led Seung and Chul to the dining room. The whole family tree was already sitting at the table, the room filled with chatter. 

As they sat down and looked around, an old lady, perhaps in her 70's, came into the room, making the chatter quiet down. 

"Shall w-", an old woman said with a cranky voice, but got cut off by the room finnish with some sort of gas and ears being filled with sounds of explosions. That was the end. Or was it?
