Well, all I can say is that the wall is as boring as it is on the inside. Tall, with different color greys splattered all over it, and barbed wire covering the top. Some of the guards got their nerve and started shooting me again. I didnt really care since the 'shield' was turning the bullets to ashes before they touched me. After looking at the wall, I looked beneath my feet to find something I thought I'd never see again. . . grass.

The grass is a light green color and very beautiful, trimmed a little too nicely for this place. After spending 13 years without seeing any color besides black, grey, brown, and red, the green seems amazingly beautiful.

I stared at it a little longer, frozen. Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I gently landed on it. After admiring the emerald grass, I bent down to feel it. So beautiful and so. . . soft. I was soo tempted to take my shoes off and feel the grass between my toes like i did as a child. Then I remembered where I was.

I looked back at the C.C. to see guards with their guns still shooting at me. I thought it was dumb because the bullets never got me, they were annoying. Turning my head around, I looked to the horizon and saw the beginnings of a forest a couple miles away.

I ignored the flying bullets and started to walk towards the forest, taking my time. Im lazy, k?

15 seconds later, I heard and felt a deep rumble that got louder and stronger every second.

I turned around to look at what the sound was coming from. Shit! I was face to face with a machine of death.

Ho-ly fuck. I thought. A big huge piece of camoflaged metal was coming at me. They sent a FUCKING TANK on my ass! Holy fucking shit. I quickly turned towards the forest and ran like all hell was coming at me. My legs seemed to have almost no effect, no matter how hard I ran, it felt like I was going nowhere. I turned my head around to take another look. Fuck.

The tank launched a missle at me, the cold metal attacking my back and lifting itself and I into the air. The missle flew upwards higher than I ever flown.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed for what seemed like forever as we kept flying upwards. We passed a couple birds and a little bit away I spotted a plane. Eventually, the missle burned up its fuel and the world paused for a mere second. The missle and I were suspended in mid air.

I looked at the missle, studying it, when it suddenly exploded. The explosion was something I've never seen before. Red, orange and white filled my vision as I was engulfed in flames. I flinched expecting to get burned, but the pain never came.

I looked down at myself to see my body on fire, but there was no pain. Wierd-. I was cut off in mid thought as I found myself falling extremely fast to the ground.

As I was falling, I was flailing my arms around like an idiot. I fell for a couple seconds til I crashed I into a thick metal sheet. Fuck. Im gonna feel that tomorrow. I tried to stand a couple times and successfully did. It turns out that I crashed into that plane I spotted on my way up.

How do I get off? Hm. I sighed. I'll just wait til it lands. I lay back down and felt the wind fly through my hair. I closed my eyes, feeling at peace. It been a while since I felt the wind in my hair. Damn. I missed the feeling soooo much. It was my comfort. I felt safe and comfortable and free. And now, I am. I thought as I let my guard down for once in my life and when into the best hours of sleep any human/superhuman could ever have.
