The Journey To Mars

Chapter 1

I was standing in a long line of people, as I was beginning to become bored. That's a bad habit of mine, becoming bored when I am around people who have no interest in socializing in these situations. But you see, when I am alone I find it nearly impossible to become bored. I had my identification card in my hand. I was visibly nervous, but then again everyone around me was too. This did determine whether you would live or not. Getting caught up in my own train of thought, I realized I was next in line. The person in front of me was a girl, aged around seven or eight. She put her identification card in the slot of the compatibility machine. This machine determined whether they needed your level of intelligence and certain skills in the construction of the new world order. The little girl sobbed as the red light of the machine lit up. This meant when the "chosen ones" would leave the earth to travel to Mars, to rebuild society, the people whose cards were returned to them as well as a red light would stay behind. She cried even harder as she shuffled away. This would determine my fate. I began to panic, as the future possibilities raced through my mind. I could either travel to Mars and continue to live, or I could stay on earth and wait for the Illuminati Government to bomb the earth. I slid my card into the slot of the machine. The machine buzzed for a while examining my card, when soon after a light turned on.
