Eternity

The Leave

"Espa look at the camera" my mum said "this is an exciting moment". We were about to leave for this massive space ship because apparently my dads company was told to help the government with some maintenance. That would make my family join the fourth group ever to try out the new society where going to live in, apparently it'll be super cool with sky scrapers taller than the Taj Mahal and it would simulate real civilization on earth. But I can't knock off the feeling that even if it feels as similar to my home as it can, I would still remember that I'm living in a space ship. But that's not my only worry, dad said they would transform my body into a Human-robot hybrid, I don't like the sound of that or how they could possibly do that. "Honey just look in the camera" mum repeated, I started into the camera a deep black just like the night sky, while the area around the actual camera was more of a grey colour like an African elephant. It was apparently the latest model but I didn't notice anything different other than the grey area around the camera.

"Hurry up we've got to board now!" my dad yelled frustrated my mum had to take photos before the important trip, I agreed with him taking pictures right now didn't sound like such a good idea. Especially given that apparently where only switching civilizations because of a massive war between the U.S.A and China. Both countries are apparently trying to reach this 'perfect' space civilization first so that then they can crush the other sides space civilization.

"Espa stop being lost in your thoughts just get in the ship" my dad was really mad now, everyone was staring at us so I quickly ran into the ship. When I got on I was told where all the important locations are. When I entered the living room I noticed no one was smiling, everyone has straight faces they all looked like they were trying working on the latest development in technology, but they weren't. It was strange to be in a room where everybody was silent. Most people in that room were either working at the same company my dad worked, mega rich, or good lucky from being the winner of a lucky draw to get early access to the new civilization. But still despite how lucky they are to be in the fourth group no one was cheerful or celebrating. Instead a lot of them looked scared. I realized my face was also dead serious but more in a funny way like the Moai Statues on Easter Island which were blown up about a week ago due to the war going on. I started exploring the ship to find something to do where I found a room where a bunch of kids around my age were talking. They beckoned me in so I just walked in hoping that I didn't just fall for some kind of trap or something like that. But no it was completely safe nothing to be cautious about, nothing to be scared about and no one to be afraid of, just a bunch of other kids around my age.

I sat down next to a kid and just listened in to a conversation apparently it was about some thought of nuclear reactor shutting down. I asked the kid next to me what we were talking about. "Switching between lots of topics really, where just trying to not think about what well happen to us once we land into the new civilization" the kid said "are you scared to?" I thought about it for a couple seconds, I never really thought about the dangers I would face after leaving for the next civilization the only thing I know about it is that it's meant to be paradise or something like that. But thinking about it changing into a human-robot hybrid sounded very dangerous and there was just so much stuff that I didn't know about, but even after thinking about it I still didn't feel that scared more excited. I realized everyone was looking at me wanting to hear my response so I just told them what I thought about it. "I guess your right but aren't you afraid that some alien will attack you?" I never really thought about aliens coming to attack us and most of them wouldn't dare. "No" I said. "Well I guess you just think about this type of stuff differently" the kid next to me said "I'm Leroy by the way what's your name?" "Espa" I replied. The moment I said my name I noticed my littles sister Kinie had also found this room, while she wasn't as annoying as how books describe little sisters I still didn't enjoy her presence since we were so different yet so similar. Luckily she barely got a chance to speak as suddenly the space ship stopped and we were escorted out. 

I really had a good time with Leroy though he was nice to talk to and unlike Kinie we were very similar in many ways. Our only big difference was our appearance, while I had my hair dyed purple, Leroy had curly blonde hair our bodies were also build differently. But otherwise we both have similar hobbies and interests. I saw my parents but for some reason all the kids were escorted to a different room where we saw this professional looking lady with a nice black suit and a tie. She looked like the president about to make the biggest speech of her life. "Settle down children" she said "I have many important things to tell you."
