As the gentle cool winds travel along my face, its touch was so cold I had a cool chill down my spine. As I breathe in slowly I get that cold sensation down my throat, just like when you have minty gum in your mouth. The air smelt clean, clean as it has never been touched before. As I was sat down on the wooden bench, I looked around, the children playing dangerously on the swings, their parents watching them like a hawk looking for prey and the elderly, chatting away with each other moaning about how rubbish their care home is, and how government aren’t helping them at all. That all changed, my name is Josh and I’ll tell you how life has now all changed.
The date was April 7th 2468, where you think we would have made peace… well we didn’t, since North Korea attacked South, and tore apart North America from South destroying Guatemala. That is when my life all had changed; I was working for the Military’s Official Extraordinaries also known as M.O.E. I had just woken up and as I sit up my phone rings ‘¡Rrrriiinng!’ It was a private number, I groaned ‘Hello, who is it?’ they replied ‘Well, hello there Drake do you remember me?’ I coughed to clear my throat ‘How did you get my…’ ‘There’s no time to speak meet me at Jade park 1300 hours we’ll speak more, then.’ The phone cuts off.
It was 1305, I have been sitting here waiting in the middle of the park, where the trees branch together in a dome shape, and a fountain pouring out clear water. It was 1320 so I left the park making my way home, whilst I crossed the road, I looked back to see if anyone was there, a familiar figure walked out and I started to walk faster, it noticed. I went through shops and alley ways to lose it, but it kept on following me, I went through a café and straight out the back into another alley but this time a dead end, I looked back it was not there, I crouched in tiredness and looked down and heavily puffed. I stood up and looked around turning my body quickly, looking all around me, I turned back to go and it stood in front of me, I jumped and shuffled back quickly against the wall. It just stood there and stared at me `I think. ` I asked “Who are you?” it replied deeply “Can you not recognise me…Josh” “How do you know my name?” I asked in confusion, the stranger took of the hood, I recognised the mark on his hand, it was Jackie a Commander from North Korea. I asked in shock “Why are you here?” He replied with a smirk on his face “I came for you… to get revenge” I struggled to get out making a last run for it but, one hit me on the head with a plank of wood, knocking me unconscious.
I wake up in some sort of warehouse where i can hear seagulls squawking away, and smells like fish and warm which made the smell a whole lot intense. Out of the shadows came Kin Lew leader of the Korean empire. He spoke in a deep and evil voice “I see you have mate my nephew Jackie.” I reply in frustration “Where am I you meatball?!” He throws his glass on the floor shattering into pieces. “All you need to know is that where you’re going, no one can hear you scream” I was strapped to a 20ft tall metal rocket. “It’s time for us to depart, I mean you…” As he laughs walking away from the launching rocket and slams the warehouse doors behind him.
BEEP BEEP BEEP TEA MINUS 3 MINUTES TILL LAUNCH OFF……… Looking around in struggle trying to find a piece of shard , there was one in between my feet trying to bring it towards me, trying to turn and as a grab the shard TEA MINUS 1 MINUTES…… slicing the rope with the glass holding it with one hand, finally cutting the rope and making a run towards the doors lock from the other side, so I decided to jump through the window making a great escape. As I look around for Kin Lew seeing him drive off as Jackie looks back at the rocket, launching off, I say to myself ‘Why did he want revenge, and what did I do this… ’
