Adventures of Kat
June 12, 3067

Dear Diary,

I was exploring the side of a mountain with my best friend, Jim, and we uncovered

something that will probably change the entire course of history. I cannot explain yet what it is,

but the AIA is now involved and things have gotten really bad. I will tell you what happens after

we get to a safe place away from all these agents. Kat out.

June 14, 3067

Dear Diary,

Jim and I found a safe cave to camp out in. The AIA agents don’t know where we are. It

is now safe to explain what we found. It appears to be some sort of…

“LET ME GO! AHHHHH!” I scream. The burly agent seems to not care that I am

kicking him in the legs as I am wrapped up in his fierce, unforgiving grip. I glance over and see

that Jim isn’t resisting the other agent at all. It’s weird because Jim is a larger kid, and the agent

clearly couldn’t stand a chance in a fight. I assume that Jim is probably just in shock and too

shaken up to try and get away so I turn back to the agent holding me and spit in his face. Not. A.

Single. Flinch. Comes out of the statue of a man. He is obviously too strong for me to refuse to

go with him, so I just decide to settle down. Then I hear something, like a person approaching
from behind. I am confused because we checked the cave before we even decided to stay there,

so I know that no one was in there behind us. Then everything goes black.

Bump. Bump. Vroom. I can hear an engine. It sounds like a smaller car. I groan as I lift

my head and begin to open my eyes. It takes me a moment to realize that the reason I am

struggling to breathe, and can’t see anything is because they put a sack over my head.

“Yeeeap, will do boss.” I hear someone from the front passenger seat say. I keep quiet,

assuming it is the agents, and just listen to what they are saying.

“Should weez kill dem?” The driver asks the man riding shotgun.

“Nah, HQ said we should bring ‘em in for questioning. Said since dis one ‘ere found the

artifact, she should know something.” The man responds. It smells like they’ve been passing

around a peace pipe, if you know what I mean. I try not to cough from the awful aroma. Instead,

I do my best to make absolutely no movements or sounds. Eventually, the vehicle screeches to a

hault.

The men get out of the car. There is a pause for what feels like forever, between them

closing their doors and opening the doors for me. Next thing I know, I wake up and I am sitting

at an interrogation table. There was a man sitting across from me in the cold, dark enclosure. He

had an old and square face. His eyes were slightly indented into his head and he was squinting.

Not because he couldn’t see. It seemed like he was just always like that. His hair also looks like a

weird, dark blonde toupee. I didn’t feel a breeze, but his hair still flowed like it was in the wind.
 “Where deed yee feend the McFlurry?” He said as he made a weird – index finger on

thumb – hand gesture. I had no idea what he was talking about so I just kept quiet. “The

McFlurry! Where deed yee feend THE MCFLURRY?!”

“Are you talking about the weird thing Jim and I found?” I ask.

“Who ees Jim?” He says leaning in close, making the hand gestures more intsensly, and

making a weird circle with his lips. I tell him who Jim is, and then go on to tell the rest of the

story. He smiles and leans back in his chair once I am done. It isn’t a normal “we now know the

truth” smile. It’s a weird “we know something you don’t” smile.

“Silly gorl. This “Jim” isn’t who you think he is.” He sneers. It takes me forever and a

day to process what is going on. But then it clicks. How did the AIA know how to find us? How

come Jim didn’t resist the agents? Why did someone come from behind and knock me out when

no one else was in there?

“Jim’s on your side…” I whisper.

“Precisely.” The man giggles. He starts explaining everything from the beginning. He

says that when I was born, the lights in the hospital went out. Not all of them. Only the ones I

was under. And as soon as I was no longer under the light, it came back on. He says that no one

had ever possessed the inner strength that I have. He said that I was the center of a long prophesy

written thousands of years ago. That I was the chosen one to unlock the secrets of the past. He

then went on to explain that the entire world was in on my story. That literally every single

human, animal, and even plant was working to help me find the “McFlurry.” Basically, my life

has been a huge movie set, and I had no idea. They even went on the change the Central

Intelligence Association (CIA) to the American Intelligence Agency (AIA).

 Then he finally got to explaining Jim. Jim was born at the same time as me. His inner

strength was the perfect match to compliment mine, so they raised him in a way to find me and

become my best friend. He eventually found the truth out as the told him what was going on.

They hid a tracker in his man bun so that they always knew where we were, even if we strayed

outside of the known lands. The man then said that I was free to walk around the compound, and

just to be slow and don’t take in too much more info at one time. I might not be able to handle

anymore and could pass out.

I opened the door to leave the interrogation room and there stood…

EE! EE! EE! EE! EE! I roll over and shut my alarm off. I can hear my mom calling that

he school bus will be here for me in 30 minutes. I smile, stand up, and say to myself, “Thanks,

actor.”
