One upon a time in a place far, far away, there was a man, that was chosen by destiny to fulfil a mission only he could do, although he didn’t know what was about to happen to him.

One day after waking up, he starts to feel a little bit awkward about himself, like if was getting a feeling about something was going to happen, but nevertheless nothing happen but he had the idea that he was meant to be an important person in the world, like if he was destined to make a change that will have a impact in the world. Since he was a non studied person, nobody ever believe in anything he said, as people always thought that he was a person that was not to take seriously as time was passing by and nothing changed, he was starting to lose the idea of him meant to make something big for the world.

One day when he was about to sleep, he heard some screams from outside on the street, the noise was made by a guy who had just broke the window of an Oxxo after the cashier did not wan to open the place for him, so he decide to open the door by his own means, suddenly, our guy was thinking about intervene at the scene because as he said: “ This might be my big moment”, but a second later, his wife just call him to the room, so he lost the inspiration.

The next day after waking up a little bit later that he used to do, he was still thinking about that guy of the Oxxo who just did what he wants and did not even got caught for his actions, maybe to steal an Oxxo was not a very disgraceful action but he was a kind of people that thought that with a few little’s actions the world could became a better place for everybody.

A few days later and with things still going as normal, his idea of been important was starting to fade away, he was preparing to watch the news, when suddenly he start to hear screams and shout that were coming near to his house, so he immediately decides that this time he was going to do something about it and leave his house as fast as he can, an try to got outside at the street as fast as he can but unfortunately when he was about to open the door and go to the outside, he start think in all the things that could happen to him, for example he might be shot and killed, or he might save the day and became the hero of the day. So after a few minutes, that felt hours to him, he decided to go back to his house and better stay alive despite still feeling that he was meant to be important.

After months has passed away, one day he was at a friends party with all of his friends at his coolest friends house, it was a huge party like the one we all se on the Americans films, with booze, all that that stuff that comes in the package, were he inevitable start to do all the things that he had abandon when the idea came to his head, and when the party was reaching to the climax, suddenly a lot of monsters began to land on earth and start to destroy them, and killing people randomly with no one knowing why that was happening, so immediately he realizes that maybe this was the situation that he had been expecting since that first day that the story begins, but like the last two times  when he was about to take action into it, he again start to think before acting thus making him unable to act, so he just star to go with his friends to safer places in order to survive, when out of nowhere a light from the sky  descend to earth and start to suck people in the sky randomly, to what our impressive hero start to wonder if that was a good or a bad thing,  but when one of them save them from a monster, the light descend to him and suck him up to the sky, so they decipher that in order to get save from the monster and all the destruction they have to make a good action, so they can be save by the lights, but that was a problem to our hero because that was all he was doing until that day, so eventually he decide to sacrifice for the well been of his friends, thinking that maybe if he did not live at least he will do something well for other people and when he make the last sacrifice the light descend to him and save him as well, thus saving everyone from the monster on earth.
