Terrifically harsh and magestically horrifying, the gates loom above you. After being searched five times over and the gates finally open, you are about to walk the cobblestoned pathway to the glass prison when the guard flings an arm out in front of your dad.
"You cannot proceed beyond this point. You will see your daughter again if the results are negative. I suggest you say your goodbyes now."

"Dad. Dad! Stop crying please. You promised I'll come back remember, just hang on... I love you, you know that right?" You say as you inhale the smell of him. Even if you don't know what this guard was talking about, you realise your dad needs you.
"Yes... Yes I do and I love you too. Everything will be alright. I will see you again." He says defiantly as if trying to convince himself. You hold on to him for a long time until he gradually let go. Tears welled up in his eyes as you walk away, not know if you will ever come back.

Inside the glass prison it is beautiful but beauty can be deceiving. As you know already this place is bad. The way your father cried... the despair he felt already made you wary. You look everywhere trying to mesmerize the route, trying to figure out how to run away if you need to. But they lead you in circles. Three times you have seen the sign to the 'fire room' which you guess is the room where the rocket is launched from. All you know is that you have to keep away from that door.

"The test is simple." You stand in the examination room, waiting and watching. The stern, flinty examiner stands before you with his judging eyes and inhuman smell. "Just give me your arm and relax." There is nothing else you can do so you follow his commands.

It was all over in a matter of seconds. The needle pierced your skin whilst it drew drops of blood out.
