Talking please let me know what you think of my prologue

[Devious]
Prologue
I pulled out the drawers, but couldn’t find it anywhere. My Apple Mac had been tipped over and lay on the floor, shattered glass everywhere.
The bed had been tipped over, the covers and pillows sliced open. The room looked arctic with all the feathers covering the floor. Glass hid underneath them, awaiting an unexpected adversary to become injured on this carpet of inexplicable pain.
I wish I new where it was so that I could stop worrying. If it had been broken then the life as I know it might as well end right now. Putting my hand underneath the cupboard I felt a warm, fuzzy object crawl between my fingers and up my arm. Springing back I yelled out as I expected a creature with razor sharp teeth and a case of bad breath to gnaw my arm off, until I realized it was just a caterpillar. It must have gotten out of my science project case which lay strewn on the floor.
“Is it safe to come out?”
“Yea I think so but did you see who took the little red object?”
“Yes”the caterpillar replied, “and they shattered it with this glowing knife and all these dark things spilled out that made the world feel like…like death” and even though it was just a little caterpillar I could feel its tiny body trembling in the palm of my hand.
Now I have to save the world again.

It's not bad, though I think you could add a little more and explain a little more about the caterpillar. I'd wait for a second opinion though, I have a bad habit of giving too much information.

There is one sentence that didn't flow that well.
Quote:
unexpected adversary to become injured on this carpet of inexplicable pain.
I'd change it to something along the lines of "unexpected victim to tread unsuspecting onto a hidden shard and immense pain"

It's all right. A little wordy, you used "tipped" twice, and the dialogue's slightly stiff. Short.

hmmm, interesting...new, diferent, might turn out good but there isnt a great deal to tell you because there isnt a great deal writen.

what you have is fine. but...

if the caterpillar can explain what happened by "it felt like death" then im sure that it could comprehend what the little red thing is by name.
i would make the caterpillar say it was stolen.

i said that really badly...but oh well, you get the idea
