I was laying on my back, feet on the wall, watching the 10:00 news and screaming at Brittany.
"Oh my gosh! Did you see that the 'Scientific law' PASSED?!?!?"

"Ariel, calm down! It's not like your going to get chosen or anything, I mean out of all the kids.....? It just doesn't seem logical. 100,000 kids put into the pool, and you being one of them is so small..... You know what I mean?"

"Yeah, sure. I'm always the unlucky type. Remember that time with Carson Mckenzie?!? When I decided to dress up-"

I was cut off by Brittany laughing hysterically.

"This is NOT funny!"
I could barley hear her, for she was gasping for breath from laughing so hard.

"Oh....... But- but- it........ It WAS funny! You should have seen the look on your FACE!"

I was distracted when I heard my name being called on the t.v.

"Brittany, I'm g-going to have to c-call you b-back." My voice cracking at the end.

*beep*

'Oh gosh, I'm one of the chosen' I begin violently shaking. The last thing I remember thinking is 'I'm going to die'

I wake to the sound of someone calling my name..... In a tunnel? Why are they repeating themselves so much?

"Ariel, honey, I need to you to eat this for Ol' Becky."

I clawed at the darkness as it put me under its hypnotizing spell, everything changing to a deeper color of black.
