Heroism and Harshness

Part 1: The Escape Chapter One

A blur. It was a twirling blur with dark colors, such as grey, black and white. The colors started to torpidly spin around as that's what she saw. The spinning colors turned into a huge grey cube. The grey cube created a blurry vision of a little black cube that also started to spin. The grey cube started to get a bit better as the girl dizzily blinked. One little, weak blink made the picture a bit clearer. So she blinked a few more times which made her vision a lot better and after blinking several times, her eyesight was clear.

The little girl saw that she was lying down in a dirty prison cell, all curled up. She shivered from the frigid coldness that came to effect the cell. The prison cell didn't have an AC for the summer nor a heater for the frigid winter. The girl then turned her head right, hoping to see something a bit better in her cell. When she soared her head the other way, she first saw a blinding light that stabbed her eyesight intensely. She started to blink as she then just saw a bright light, hoping it would be a positive omen.

The girl then started to groan as she felt a stabbing pain on her back and turned her head to her back. She saw an unclear image of red stained marks, almost burned permanently into her back. The marks started to feel a soaring pain on her back as she ached from it. "I want to escape," she muttered to herself. "I hate Trey,"

Trey was the evil nation that she was born in. It was a cruel place where the king was the dictator and get's to do what he wanted. He did many evil things with all his power.

First when he came to Trey, he removed the president and made cruel rules with curfews and then banned a lot of things. Then after making people leave their homes under his orders. He destroyed all homes and replaced them with run-down huts living on a place called the Hub for all adults to live. The kids live in harsh prisons because they didn't want the kids and adults to team up to wipe out the evil king. It was most likely that the kids would tell the adults to team up so they made them live in a harsh prisons, from Prison A to Prison Z. After the adults gave birth to the kids, they were sadly separated from their parents and were put in prisons. The reason why that the kids were put in prisons is because where else? They couldn't run their own huts like the Hub.

Prisons were very bad. The clothes that they wore were black and white and the only thing that they ever wore in their life. It was usually too big on the prisoner and they didn't really care about size. It had the prisoner's number stitched onto the lightweight cloth that a poor tailor was forced to make. There were at least a hundred kids in each prison. Despite the no heater or AC, prisoners were usually very quiet as stern prison guards, who looked like they were gonna attack any second walked up and down the halls of the kid's cells. In the cell, it had only one black tiny bed where it's just enough room for a prisoner. Also, it only had one hard pillow and one worn-out blanket that was slept on every night. If the prisoner was too big to fit, then they were out of luck. The cells also had a very narrow room where the prisoners would go to the bathroom with indoor plumbing and to the prisoner's, that was a luxury.

Down the evil king's castle, is the Hub. Between the Hub and castle are the vast woods where guards are all over because the woods are restricted, due to the king wanting it to be his lawn where no one roams but him and a lot of guards who take care of the woods. The work areas are in the front yard of the jails, which are located at the very back of the country of Trey.

Every day, the kids, who looked very worn-out and lashed up, had to be cramped up in trucks to go to the castle after eating in the prison cafeteria. The cafeteria wasn't the best spot in the prison. For starters, the walls were cracking apart as it was painted grey, just pure grey. All the prisoners had to be cramped on delicate tables, where the tables will sometimes slouch, maybe even fall over and make a huge disruptive sound on which guards wouldn't be happy. The prisoners had to wait on long lines, taking forever to get their food. Finally, after at least of an hour of starving for food, a guard will dump some slimy soup, filled with rotten carrots. The bowls were made out of paper as the soup dripped everywhere.
