My Diary

Chapter 1 - Dream worlds

I am Benjamin James Castro, I am 21 years old, I lived in a world, corrupted and full of hatred. Since I was young, I know I am already different from them, the people who knew nothing but evil. Then I began asking my parents about the world's current situation. I gave them an idea of a world full of peace and prosperity.

"If the world isn't like this, then I would see a better world, nothing much like this I have".

My parents never pay me much attention, instead they even would let me down on my expectations when I tried.

"Cut it out James, a world like that would never exist. My mother said softly.

"But we will never know if we try, right? right? I insisted avoiding the fact that what she said was true.

"Stop fantasizing Benj, you will never achieve something when you will always do that". My father said forcedly

"Then I would never achieve something when I don't fantasize". I said as I stare at him for a while.

I rushed to my room and lets out some steam.

"A twisted world like this is gonna rot when nothing will be able to save it!" I shouted as if I have an enemy in front of me.

That was when I was ten. I was really frustrated and disappointed to him.

7 years after that, I was 17, it was the most memorable age until it happened.

I was in the couch, watching the Tv. It was an evening news in channel 6.

"Good evening fellas. Mike Mcdonnell here,

Today I'm gonna inform you the worst news you'll ever know. The reporter said it in a lively way, but I can still see the sad image of him behind his face.

"Today might be our last meet of our lives." He said "The World Government has declared a Martial Law". He continues, but my attention was drawn into the words "Martial Law".

I was shocked about what he just said.

"The world will never be the same again".

"I would expect tons of crazed soldiers in the streets by now". Murmuring these words as I peek by the window.

It seems several minutes have passed peeking by the window, looking for signs and changes in the streets. But there were non.

I want to go to my bedroom, since I am kind of sleepy for some reason. Before I turn off the TV. I heard the reporter's advice about the martial law.

"Before we would end our news here in channel 6, I would like to inform those people out there that had no knowledge about martial law".

Then he speaks......

...

"Please take my advices seriously for your own safety"

"You must rather say no word against the government infront of the soldiers"

"If I were you, I would avoid the soldiers".

"Lastly be prepared for any attacks in your community, I tell you this, it's gonna be bloody if you won't".

*sob* *sob* *sob*

It seems the reporter starts to cry, but before he does, I turned off the TV already.

"So much for that". I sighed.

I almost got carried to sobbing sound, well non of those is gonna happen, he just want to brainwash people with his acting skills.

"brainwash my a*s"

It was silent when I sleep.

"A new tomorrow is gonna meet me today". I said as I slowly close my eyes

******LOUD SOUND WAS HEARD*******

"What the"? I wondered as I see smoke

Rising up in the starry night. It was yellow---or was it orange, it was a FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fire came from a nearby neighborhood.

"It was huge, and.....scary"

"How did this happened?"

"Why did this happened?"

"What's wrong in this world?"

Before I even know it, an explosion was done, about 700 meters from our house. This time even stronger. The ground starts to shake as I fall from my bed.

"*Augh* I think I hit my head really hard, I need to stand so I will know what is really happening".

I felt the pain inside my head as if it is chopped down by an ax.

I heard footsteps coming to the door. Then it opened. It was father, he was scared too, just like me, But I saw some streaks of hope across his eyes.

"James, pull yourself together, we are leaving this place". He said it with some bravery on his words.

"Where are we going"? I asked.

"Don't know son, I think to nowhere, where we can hide".

We rushed downstairs with my parents to the garage. Father opened the car's door.

"Now start the ignition" I said it like he was a servant of mine.

"I know you're desperate son, like me too but we must wait the car to fire up". He said in a calm and plain ways.

The car then starts, its engine is old so I won't expect it to cover large distance for a short time.

Another explosion blow up, it is really close to our house. The deafening sound made me cover my ears while the ground starts to shake even stronger.

"Now drive" I said in a more desperate way.

"Okay, okay"

We go to the opposite way of the explosions. From afar I can see the night sky turn bright every minute the surroundings turned silent. I could see fire from the bombing of our town.

"How much lives are lost because of this"?

I muttered as tears streaks down my face. I am already tired of this, this sick world rule by monsters. Monsters that call themselves the World Government.

A world that I seek out from this one, is somewhere beyond my grasp. But I know that someday, I will achieve what is right about this world. The world of peace, freedom, harmony, and prosperity.

"Things will never be the same again, I promise.
