I felt bad after leaving Germany's house. I didn't know he died, but if he was dead, how did I see him? I'm pretty sure I didn't know him before he told me. I'm positive that he wasn't a figure of my imagination. Now that I think about it, why did papa get so angry when talking about Prussia, but didn't even try to notice him? He's not the type of guy to hide his anger towards people he has no patience for.


Even though I had a bullet of guilt in my chest, I didn't want to spend my weekend searching for clues about a man I just knew that everyone is either angered, has a look of aesthetic, or on the brink of tears by the mention of his name. Anyways, I have to write a report on how my country is doing, what's going on, how my politics are doing, how the school system is doing, and all that sort of stuff. I usually just ask the Prime Minister to write a report, rewrite it, and add my knowledge into it.


Dear Prime Minister Harper,

I would like to say that you are doing an amazing job as Prime Minister. I am sorry to take time out of your busy schedule, but I do need a report on how my country is doing. I do believe that there are the requirements in bottom right drawer labeled with my human name, Matthew Williams. If you are not at your desk at the moment, please e-mail me back, and I will send them. I need the report sent to me by this Monday 11:00 am (your time). Again, I apologize for taking time out of you schedule.

Sincerely,

Mathew Williams, Canada


Before I opened up another tap to go on You Tube to see if anything was going on there, but before I could click on a video, I got an E-mail.


Dear Mathew Williams,

It would be no problem to have that report to you by Monday. I am at my desk, and I see your note for this type of occasion. It was no problem at all to get a letter from you. I make sure to message you if I have any concerns at all.

Sincerely,

Prime Minister Harper 


Then I've got nothing to worry about, but something still did. I've been looking for every fact of information on Prussia for about 24 hours, from last night to right now, yet all I know is that he's dead and Germany feels guilty for it. I eyed that URL bar, and having a sense of pain, curiosity, and determination all rolled into one, "Prussia." The first google search was a Wikipedia article, over to the right was a black then white then black pattern flag with a black and yellow bird on the center-left. The bird gave off a feel of bravery, royalty, and strength. I stared at that majestic bird for a few minutes before I clicked on the Wikipedia article.


After the first 6 paragraphs, I had learned more about that country than in my 148 years of living. I didn't want to read more than those paragraphs because I didn't want to seem like I had cheated his game. However, I did admire his flag for a long while. I wanted to give the bird a name, but I could never come up with a name that suited this great bird. After that I went back to You Tube, which I had for got that I still left running. I had no idea what to watch so I just enjoyed a compilation of Thomas Sander's Vines.


Right in the middle of one of his Disney pranks, my phone dinged that someone had texted me. I paused the video to reach for my phone then it started ringing. Someone must really want to talk to me, but the number was Blocked. Someone rang the door bell, and a knock on the back door. "I'll be there in a moment!" I still hadn't answered the phone, but a scratching at the window stopped me. When I checked the window, not even a tree was touching it, but the scratching continued. The doorbell kept ringing, ringing more and more picking up the tempo. The knock at the back door transitioned into pounding. My mind was sent into a panic. Tried to fix the problem closest to me: the phone. I frantically tried to press the "except call" button. "Hello! Who is this?!" I yelled. I heard a short exhale, then the hum of the phone. The person hung up, and everything in the house was dead.
