Harper:
Dad says war should be over soon. He’s never right but hey, someone’s gotta be positive right? As soon as one war is over, another world collides against us and tries to attack us again. I’ve gotten used to this feeling. Feeling of my ears ringing as the sirens squeal, my hands wrapping around the woven fabric handle of my backpack, ready to run out of the building and leave this war behind me. Only people that keep me here are my best friend Olive and my dad. There it goes once again. The siren of the city yelling at everyone to leave their wooden boxes they call home and bolt into their metal insulated domes. Mayor Kenneth Whitt required every family is required to have one placed in their backyards. If that doesn’t tell you how common war is…

Payton:
It’s peaceful here in Utopia. Birds do their singing, Animals parade around the land, and the trees sway back and forth as the cool breeze manipulates their branches. Mother is out so it’s just me living in paradise. She calls it peaceful and says we're so lucky to live in this environment. I never understood her. This is normal life…isn’t it? People try to explain the idea of several other worlds far from what ours is like. Never knew if they were right, at least not then. Then something had gone wrong and now I understood. All those warnings. All their tales. Everything they said was becoming real and it’s a nightmare. Lesson Learned, DON’T take peace for granted. Trust me, it doesn’t look pretty.
