I woke up to the sound of roaring engines flying , up ahead ,and the smell of gasoline filling my nose. I stretch and yawn ,as I get up out of bed. I turn to see my sister, half way off her bed with her cover and sheet draping over her.
"I'm hungry.", I say to myself with a yawn and a growl coming from my stomach.
Once I finally scrounge up the strength to get out of my bed and walk to the kitchen (which was only like, ten steps away). I realize that we don't have any food.
"Ahh man, I have to go to the market and get food.", I whisper to my self , with another growl coming from my stomach.
I put on my worn out clothes, that I've been wearing for the past couple of days. I scramble around for my credits, until I see the glow of the card emitting light from my darkened room. I walked over there and breathed a sigh of relief. I grab the card, with about eleven hundred credits on it, and walked out the house into the dismal city.
I'm blinded by whatever sunlight could breakthrough the densely polluted sky, and the tightly packed wall of cars in the sky, driven by the megacorps employees. I stroll down the cemented sidewalk ,as old, beat up cars drove by me. Every lamppost I saw had a camera or two attached to it. The camera could tell how good or bad a person was, just by the way they walked and dressed.
Once, I see the sign that said local market I was relieved, it felt like I walked for miles. Past the sign I saw rows of stands stretching for what seemed like miles, they stretched into the fog of pollution. I went to get some frill breast and legs, witch beetle, and five pounds of ground beef made from brull. After, I turn to see a merchant who was selling goods from other planets, something catches my eye, in bold white letters with a burgundy colored background it reads Dr. Pepper. I hand the man the two credits he asks for a can and drank what was in burgundy colored can.
"This is probably the best drink I've ever tasted.",I tell the merchant.
"How much for a box full?",I ask with excitement.
"Ten credits",he answers back
"Alright",I say while giving the merchant ten credits.
I walk around the market looking for one specific stand ,but I can't find it anywhere. Once, I got towards the end of the stands I see it the last stand in the market. The owner of the stand is a buff, tall man with a scar across his face, he claims he got it from battling a dragon on the other side of the wall ,but nobody believes him.
I hand him my food and drinks, give him the password and some money, he opens the door to the house behind him and gestures me in. The room inside is full of illegal items and stolen items from the rich people above. You have all the usual stuff like drugs, organs, illegal weapons, and some stolen jewelry. In the corner of the room I see a scary looking man, with a peculiar looking object for sale. Everybody looked at me as I walked towards the man with deathly stares, any one of them could kill me in a instant.
I finally, make it to the stand without any of the other stand owners lunging at me.
"What is it?",I ask the stand owner
"It basically makes you and anything in a five foot radius of you invisible."
"Really, how?"
"It creates a field around you bending all light around you and reflecting the light behind you infront of you."
"How much for the device?"
"How many credits do you have on you?"
"Um...nine hundred credits."
"Well then it's nine hundred credits."
"Really, fine here."
"Pleasure doing business with you."
I put the device in my pocket. I was leaving the market when, I hear a gunshot from outside the door. Then a big boom happened I turn to see a big hole in the wall and patrol flooding into the building. I managed to escape through the hole in the wall. The bodyguards lifeless body was on the floor, and next to it my stuff.
I through the bag of food into the box full of sodas. Lasers were flying right past me.I reach into my pocket for the cloaking device.
"Please work." I whisper to my self.
I press the button at the top of the device ,but I don't know if anything happened. My guess is that it did work because the patrol had puzzled robot faces. I kept it on all the way home just in case.
I run into the house and go into my room. I slap precious's face to wake her up.
"What do you want.",Precious said with a yawn.
"We got to go now!"
"Why?"
"I'll explain later, just get ready!"
"Fine"
"Precious, we need to go now!"
