Red Resistance

Chapter 1

This is where the story begins.

"Colin, you need to wake up."

That was the sound of Colin's mother waking him up for another day of doing nothing. Colin barely struggled to get out of bed, unlike most days. He was used to waking up in the mornings like this.

His bony hands began to crack as he stretched and got up. He shook his computer mouse and decided to check the news for anything new. It was the usual, ISIS threats, Donald Trump drama, and drama over a experimental drug. It was the normal now a day for Colin.

Colin's phone began to ring, he received a text. It was from his girlfriend Casey.

He decided to check it before he got ready for the day.

"Hey babe, long day, they need some extra hands at the soup kitchen since someone else called out today. I was wondering if you could swing by and help me?"

Colin was distracted for a moment when his cat Mooney decided to walk in on him. But Colin texted back.

"Sure thing, I need a excuse to get out of the house. My mom will make me do work anyway."

Colin put down the phone and opened his dresser, and tried to find a nice outfit. Colin was always known for wearing the same black hoodie and the same jeans to school since he was emo but this was a weekend. Colin wanted to look nice. So he designed to get his red flannel, throw on some black jeans, wear some nice Vans. The usual teenage attire. He went into the bathroom and got ready. When he came out, his sisters were just talking about the hottest trend on Twitter. Colin ignored it, figuring it was a rumor of something belonging to One Direction

Skype began to ring, Colin picked up and it was his friend Kyle nagging him about something and asking him to pick up the phone. Colin picked up. "Can you find someone else to annoy today?" as he said laughing.

"Nope because I need someone like you to annoy today, since I don't really speak to you that often. Hey have you checked the news today?" Kyle replied

"The news today is nothing but stand up garbage and Donald Trump's face plastered all over it." Colin replied

"Well, they say they found a new drug that can give the effects of heroin, but is less addictive then your average cup of Coke." Kyle says, excitedly.

"That's great for a drug addict like you." Colin bursts out in laughing and starts slapping his keyboard.

"Welp, considering you have smoked and done all this shit before you probably shouldn't be calling me that." Kyle sasses.

"Well i have a job to do at the soup kitchen with my girlfriend so I need to head out. So I will message you later, let's play Minecraft when I get on." Colin hangs up on Kyle before he can even reply, Colin has heard enough of his voice.

Colin decided to get ready, since Casey is probably waiting for him, Colin climbs into his car, a late 90's model Toyota and turns on the engine. Colin wants to spend the rest of his life living in California, the desert of the world, and live like one of the Killjoys. He drives off the driveway and gets on the highway to the town his girlfriend is at. At the same time, Casey is leaving to the soup kitchen.
