Ezra's pov... Everything was quiet... Well of course it was because everything was black. Then my eyes opened... The first thing I saw was a red light that flashed on and off. Then I look down to see I'm sitting in trash!! It's just trash... Trash!! As far as the eye can see! I see unwanted food, chlothing? A few metalic parts and tools. Then I realized where I was... "The garbage?" I ask sloshing through the mess. "I have gotta find a way out of here!" I say looking up. "There's a vent gap!" I say. But there's no way I can get all the way up there! I think.... "Maybe I can climb?" I ask out loud. I begin to climb some of the ledges on the wall, but then I hear a loud screeching noise, like that of a old garage door opening. "Wha.. What's..." I begin to ask but then... I see. "The walls are closing in!!!" I yell. Then water starts to flow in so instead of somewhat standing I'm now swimming! Which completely makes this situation worse cause I can't stand swimming or getting wet. The walls keep getting closer and there's nothing I can do to stop them! Trash keeps getting stuck on me!!, which should be the least of my problems but then it gets worse. My leg gets caught under a mound of trash in water and I'm stuck. When the walls get in arms length I stretch mine out and try to push against the force but it's no use. It pushes my arms back to my sides. I'm going to be crushed!! Then I look up to see a trooper staring at me through the gap. "Please..." I say. "Help!" I shout. He nods and runs. Then the walls gets to the point when it starts to hurt. My chest can't push in much farther and my head's getting slammed. "Hurry." I mumble. I can't take this anymore please just end this... I close my eyes excpecting to feel incredible pain, but just then the walls stop moving. "Huh?" I ask in surprise. I then see the trooper once again at the gap. He gives me a thumbs up and begins to run away.... "Wait!!!" I yell. He returns, "Can you please move the walls back? I'm in a pretty uncomfortable position?" I ask. "Oh sorry kid." The trooper says running and pushing the walls back to a safe distance. The trooper says.. "I'll be back soon." Then runs off.
       After the banquet... "How was the banquet sir?" 190 asks after the incident. "Ahh great 190 it was just great.", he pauses. "Oh wait did you remember to turn the walls on?" Kallis asks. "Yes no need to worry sir... The kid was crushed into nothingness... I saw it happen myself." 190 says lying as best he can. "Alright 190 good job... I'm heading to my office... In case anyone is in need of my assistance just come and tell me." He says walking away.

190's pov...... I run over to the chute. "Kid?" I ask. "Yeah?" The kid asks from the corner. "I'm going to rescue you." I say. "Ok how?" He asks. "I'm gonna get a rope." I say running to the material corner. I grab a very long rope and hope I'm strong enough to pull him up. I lower it and tell him to, "Grab on!" He grabs the rope and I start to pull it up. Some say I'm very weak for a trooper but it is my brains and strategy which makes me a top stormtrooper. I keep pulling.... Don't let go... I think. When the last stretch of rope comes I fling the kid through the gap. "A nice landing would have been nice." He says rubbing his head. "Sorry but didn't I just save your life?" I ask giving him a hand. "Sorry.. Thanks." He says. "But what's going to happen to me? My parents are gone?" He says. I gasp at this... But I know what's the right thing to do. "Don't worry kid, I'll take care of you..", I pause. "Just... While we get to know each other... What's your name?" I ask. "It's Ezr..." He begins to say.... But then he falls on my lap... Eyes shut.
