A Changed World

Can not compute

As Tommy woke up he was confused; but soon realized where he was and what had happened. He gathered his things together and strolled into the exam room of the old clinic the computer flashed a new code though.

"ERROR CODE:666:200:CONNECTION DANGEROUS: TO CONNECT YOU MAY CONNECT USING ONLY THE KEY SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN: TYPE THE KEY IN THE BOX AND YOU WILL ACCESS THE INTERNET. note: this could be dangerous to your computer or you. KEY CODE: AJI1873JSO99103"

Tommy typed the Code into the space and selected "LAUNCH" the computer flashed to life and formed an Internet page. The video played and a man in a mask began to speak "due to a state of emergency the Internet has been terminated. You will no longer be able to access anything but this video feed. We apologize for the inconvenience. Remember, "Our way is the right way" brought to you by the United States Government Change Policy Association." The video continues to repeat through the dusty speakers of the monitor.

         Tommy strolled to the back room of the hospital again. The exam table was sitting there like a skyscraper in the forest. It seemed unusual. He grabbed hold of the handles at the side and gave it a pull. Inside of the cupboard lied a styrofoam container with a large "F" on it and a note taped to it. "In case of emergency...things marked F contain emergency materials." Tommy thought to himself,"I killed a kid, my dad is gone, I was shot at, and the government turned the Internet off, this seems like an emergency to me." He opened the lid and inside were 3 syringes filled with medicine, labeled "MORPHINE, ADDICTIVE", a small metal bowl, four tea bags, bandages, and a pill bottle labeled "TYLONEX, KNOCKS PAIN OUT".

He threw the materials in his backpack and walked to the safe near the files behind the counter and tried several combinations and even tried listening for clicks like on the TV shows he'd watched. Soon Tommy got an idea. By using pliers to remove the bullet part of a shell casing he could expose the black powders.

He piled the powder along the cracks of the safe door and used part of his shoe lace as a fuse. He struck a match and lit the shoelace and sprinted behind the desk. He was prepared for,a blast, but there was none. He carefully walked back to the safe. The lace was completely burnt, but the gunpowder had not ignited. Tommy took another strand and pulled out a match. He struck the match against the box and touched it to the lace but it didn't catch.

As Tommy got out another match he was blinded for a moment. He heard an incredibly loud boom and was smashed against the shelf of files in the back of the room.

   

       All went dark and he thought he might vomit. He lie there in a pile of papers in pain and agony as he passed out.
