Prologue:This was it; they had done it once again, and the United Sates couldn't do anything to stop it.The Untied States troops were spread out, surrounding the border of North Korea, waiting for the order toattack. But unlike World War II, Korea was ready.But I didn’t care about that kind of stuff. I never did. We could have a World War outside on my front lawnand I wouldn’t have cared. Well, that was before the United States got into it; before I knew whathappened in war. After that, everything changed drastically. War changes a person, whether you want it toor not.It was the year two-thousand and twenty. The United States newly elected president, Jarone Willks, hadtried to protect the troops in any way possible when he sent them into battle, but within a time frame of twenty-four hours, millions on the U.S. side were killed or captured. Those who were captured would bedead, just like the rest of the troops, within a period of forty-eight hours.Running low on men, the president ordered for anyone above the age of eighteen to fight in the war, noexceptions. You didn't want to be caught disobeying the president's orders. A lot had changed in the lastdecade. If you were caught disobeying, the punishment would not be jail time; the punishment was death.I'm sorry to announce that I am one of the unlucky ones; I am eighteen years old. I have to fight in thewar.My name is LaShandra Jones, and this is my story. _____________ Monday:I don’t know what the date is so I can't write it down.Today mom bought a television and cable. She turned on the news and this is how it went: "Tom . . . if what you're saying is true, then . . . then this is World War . . . III a woman on the screen said, her eyeswide.The man named Tom hesitated. After wiping sweat from his brow, he said, "Yes Katie. Yes it is . . . WorldWar III."I looked up at my mom. The color of her face was drowned pale white in shock. "What are they talkingabout mom?" I asked. I knew exactly what they said but I just needed somebody to clarify it."Another world war. That’s exactly what we need!" She yelled sarcastically. I didn’t understand what shewas talking about. I knew about the Japanese attacking the Koreans and the U.S. getting involved but aworld war?"Don’t you watch the news at school you stupid girl?!" I jumped up and shouted at her "I DON’T WATCHTHE NEWS!!! Who does!!?" My mom also stood up "Smart people unlike you! Don’t you know what’shappening? If your 18 and not going to college you go to the army and they ship you to the war zone inKorea!"
"So im going to college! So stop screaming at me for something that I have on my top priority list! OK!! Idon’t need somebody constantly breathing down my neck to make sure I do!""I’m sorry hu-nookie" My mom apologized "It's just that I care for you so much." I sighed "MOM don't callme that!" "Again! im sorry." I turned away from her. " Not sorry enough!" And I bolted from her arms andran to the front door. "DOOR LOCK!!" My mother yelled. And just like that I was trapped."C'mon! Stop being so unreasonable! LaShandra!" But her attempts were futile. I ran back to the door andtook my watch out of my pocket. "OVERRIDE" <override complete> And the doors opened. I ran to thegarage and got in my SAAB AERO X. I stepped on the pedal and left. I was riding up to 345 miles per hour stopping at nothing. I could taste the fresh air blowing off my face. The smelly hobo's sleeping on theground. And the rubber on the ground. Then I looked at my watch 5:00. Rush hour. And just like magiccars began to appear out of nowhere on the roads. I even had my bumper nearly cut off.That was to close for me. I pressed the button on the door and in 5 seconds my car was a motorcycle. Idesigned it myself. 340, 345, 350, 355, 360. The motorcycle was so fast all the cars were behind me. Tothem I was just a blur of light and wind. And they were the same to me. 490, 495, 500. <stop where youare> I looked behind me. Cops. They were probably the kind that had nothing to do all day and wherelooking for excitement. One of the people in the cars might have snitched on me. I could hear it right now.
Officer there is a woman going at least 3oo miles per hour. Stop her before she kills someone!
Damn! Anidea formulated in my head. I could stop so suddenly that the police cars will rush behind me while I couldmake an escape. But I could actually die from doing this, I was on a mountain. I could easily die. Nope. Ihad to do this.I was up to 630 miles per hour. And I jammed on my breaks. The screeching of the tires was horrifyingand I almost fell of the mountain. But just as I expected the cops blew right past me not knowing what thehell happened. I was... as some people would say. Burning Rubber. Now I was against the traffic. Thenoises those cars was making made me flinch and on top of that I was going so fast all they saw was ablur. <you have 1 unheard message> I pressed a button connecting me to the person who called me.>Hello?>LaShandra?>David?>Yea it's me. Umm you coming over here?>Im on my way>Ok bye>See ya later David.David was one of my friends since grade school. He was tall but not to tall. He was a little bit darker thanme. Everybody used to say he was the yin to my yang. I was the short tempered one and he was the onewho had a serenity in his mind that I wished for. I was the one who only cared for people who was In myinner circle. David was a person who had too big of a heart. And I could go on for hours about saying howwe balance each other but I won’t. I remembered that time we first time we built a watch for a schoolproject that we were assigned to. SCREECH!! I almost slammed into a car that was moving to slow."Watch where your going MORON!'
Yeah He'll be alright.
I thought. After a couple of minutes driving Icame to a stop.I don't know why or who's idea it was to plant a house on top of a big hill in the mountains but whoever had the idea is a sick and twisted person. I pressed my thumb on a little scanner on my bike the size of aquarter. It scanned my thumb with a glowing neon blue light. <automobile locked> I jumped off the bikeand headed toward David's house. I was surprised because it wasn't loud. Ok I mean you could usuallyhear the house a mile away. I knew David sometimes envied me. Here at home I only had a little brother that was 9 years-old. While he had 9 brothers and sisters. He wasn't the oldest one out of 9 siblings. Butsometimes you'd think he was older then his father. I knocked on the door.>LaShandra?>Who else were you expecting?>Nobody
>Then let me in.He opened the door. I hugged him briefly and asked him why it was so quiet. "Oh I sent the family to arestaurant to treat themselves. And I ended up paying for it." That explained it. David's family, theMeGucchi family was a family that liked to eat. Not that they were fat, far from it, it was just that theynever had enough food to go around when David was a kid. So then that got him determined to makemoney. He started to sell illegal technology to the rebels, the people who conspire against thegovernment, and he made a lumpsum of money. Still now he's 18 years old and is a millionaire. Not theMeGucci Family. David MeGucci. "Somehow that doesn’t surprise me." I replied sarcastically."I would beshocked if it didn't" He smiled."C'mon" He took my hand and lead me downstairs into his lab. We nicknamed it 'The Techno Center'. Hepulled me into a booth. Now let me explain. You know how they have those corporate offices. Eachperson has their own cubical. Well the techno center is set up like that except the cubicles are bigger thannorm. He was like 50 rows in this room and 32 columns. He pulls me into a cubicle and motions for me tolook. Inside the cubicle is a bucket filled with water. But you can see that inside there are two circular things. They look kind of like contact lenses except these were more square-ish."Put them on" He tells me and I am obedient. When I try to put them on I flinch. I don't like the idea of touching my eyes. But instantaneously my vision is increased. Not like 20/20 but even better than that. Icould see the actual grains of wood on the wood desk. I can see an ant crawling on the wall 45 rows infront of me. "Whoa!" I exclaim. "What are these?" He puts on a smug smile. "I call them materializer." Ilook puzzled and ask why. "I put some wood on the desk. Can you see the particles in there if you lookclosely?" David asks. "Yeah" I answer. But then I lean over and smell the water. "What's the water?" Helooks satisfied. "That, my friend, is mercury at it's liquid form.""Uww." I sighed. Sometimes I just lost interest when he tried to sometimes act like he was super super ultra mega smart. It was very annoying. "And what difference does that make?" I asked. David started togrin. "It doesn’t and actually it is in plain old water. I just wanted to aggravate you a little bit." I looked athis goofy smile."Ugh" He held onto my hip. "You know you want it." I backed away from him. "Not asmuch as you need me." I replied. We were just friends. We were never anything more than friends, but heknows that people gossip about us sometimes. One time a local magazine company took a picture of ushugging. The rumors were outrageous.I knew he liked me a little bit. So I decided to play with his mind. "Babi stop." And I started laughing like Iwas a drunken lover. He started to pull me closer to him. My face got serious in an instant. "Stop David."And I pulled away from him. "Can I borrow the lenses?" I asked sweetly. He looked at me. "Fine." I smiled.KNOCK! I glanced at David. He pushed me behind him. He walked to the door and looked through thepeephole. He left the Techno Center to get to the actual door of the house. When he came back his eyeswere wide. He went back to a cubicle. He came back with a black object that looked at a mole. Davidreached over and put it on the side of my face. I felt it with my index finger. It was rough and smooth atthe same time. Weird.He left again. When he came back the second time he was carrying a bucket with him. He worked on mesilently. He gave me gloves, earrings, a belt, a pair of glasses. "David I don't wear glasses." I protested.But he took out the lenses and put the glasses on. I was surprised when my vison was neither increasedor decreased form the lenses. Actually they were probably made out of the same thing. Also he put asmall dot the size of a dot on top of an I on my front right tooth. He stripped me of my clothes. And gaveme a new outfit. They were probably technology advanced or something. After the 2 hour process hemotioned for me to look in a mirror that he pulled up.I looked nice. I had on a black and dark purple jumpsuit on. A black leather belt. Purple earrings. Blackand purple gloves. Black rimmed glasses. And something I didn't even feel or see him put on. Black andpurple braces. I looked at him. "Now what do these things do?" He shook his head refusing to speakinstead he got out pen and paper and wrote:
We are being bugged! Don't ask questions! Please. Their going to take you away as soon as you leave.Don't try to fight back. Once your in your cell press the mole on your forehead.
