"I'm telling you. It was real, the police had riot shields, there were bottles of fire being thrown and there was a man in black with this cool looking mask standing above all with a fist in the air and a flag with the letter A inside a circle over his shoulder." As I tried so hard to remember the brain tazering dream to my parents but their distracted faces told me they weren't listening. I stood up and headed towards the door for another day of school. "Goodbye Tyler, enjoy school" cried my mum while dads face dug into the newspaper.

As the day slowly went on the school seemed a lot longer than usual. I followed my friends to the hall for the boring assembly we always have. The principal Mr. Davidson's bald head was shiny as a brand new window.
"Good morning fellow students and staff members. What a beautiful day today and it's the first day of a new season. I'm sure you will have a wonderful term. Now to dis"but as he was interrupted the projector screen came to life and a masked man began to speak.
"Greetings, None of you will know me
but I come with the truth the people such as yourselves should know about.

We live in a world where the people of modern society have no idea what kind of slavery their government puts them in. The INPA believes in a idea of keeping the truth to themselves, refusing society rights and taking away our freedom by telling us freedom can be achieved by following this systematic order of justice". My eyes caught of the teachers freaking out and Mr Davidson's voice echoed "TURN IT OFF" as the masked man continued to talk.
"This is a LIE. If freedom is what we desire it should be US to decide how we want to achieve it. This system the government has made its all lies it's all horse shit just to make you think your safe but their actually eliminating your rights to your freedom. It's not them who should pick what's right for us, it's US who should pick what's right for us by any means necessary. Join us, we are Phantom".
Bursts of confusion and chatter streamed across the hall until the Principal came back to the centre.
"Students please leave the hall and return to your houses. I've decided the school to be closed until further investigation of this attack has taken affect.As the hall turned into a avalanche, kids running out of the hall like they've never seen daylight. I climbed over the wall and began to walk on the cracked pavement to my house. My mind was buzzing with thoughts but the only one that stuck out was the one I didn't expect to understand.
"Do we surrender our rights to be free or fight to achieve our rights of freedom"
