Jonathans life was not like other kids in his neighbourhood... in fact it was very different.
as a young child Jonathan was not allowed out of his room passed 7:00 pm in the afternoon, he
was not allowed to converse or play with other children. He didn’t understand why his parents
would do this to him but little did he know it was for his own good.
one day as Jonathan was in school with his one and only friend, bernard, they decided
to skip class to go to the market. Jonathan hadn't ever been to the market so he was greatly
excited. Bernard told him of all the candy and drinks to get that would make you sick to your
stomach with sugar.
As Jonathan and Bernard walked through the forest to the market, as it was a well
known short cut, a quad came out of nowhere with a roar it stopped in front of them. Bernard
was confused and walked forward to ask what the man wanted, as Bernard walked forward the
was a loud noise followed by a burst of fire coming from the man's hand, it was a gun. The bullet
hit Bernard square between the eyes and he lay on the ground unmoved. It all happened so fast
that Jonathan had no time to react. The man fired another gun but this time there was no loud
sound just a burning pain in Jonathans body. Jonathan tried to move but was unable. the man
grabbed him by the leg and pulled him onto the quad.
Jonathan was terrified as fear moved through his mind. The feeling of life once more
flowed through his body there was a tingling in his finger tips. He slowly moved his legs around
the guards head he kicked swift and hard. CRACK! The man's neck snapped. The quad
swerved and Jonathan was sent flying. As Jonathan's eyes started closing there were shouts.
"Get the kid, he’s the regen."
"drag his friends body in the swamp"
The bed was rough and the temperature was cold. Jonathan was confused he stood up
and looked around there was nothing in the room except for a single table. On top of that table a
note which goes as read.
If you want to see your family ever again... then follow the men with the orange arm bands, and
do as they say.
Jonathan waited it felt as if hours had passed he was confused but he decided to get
ready. The bed frame was made out of metal rods. He pulled one of the rods out and placed it
on the ground. Then he waited... barely a minute passed when the door burst open.
"Get on the gro..."
But this time Jonathan was ready the man's sentence was cut short as the rod struck him in the
head. Jonathan scrambled to the gun in the man's holster. Within seconds Jonathan had the
gun. He ran out of the door and headed left down the hall. The hallways were tight and made of
metal. The sound of his feet made deep clanking noises. He heard voices from down the hall…“What the hell is going on here?” Jonathan thought “why do these people sound russian”
Suddenly there was a flash of light Jonathan hit the ground and pretended to lay unconscious.
“Da flash must ave knocked him out” he hear a man say
“Good thing we caught him before he left” proclaimed another
The men turned around about to speak into the radio
This is my time to act
With a quick movement Jonathan brought his hand up and there was a flash. It hit the man in
the back of the head. Before the other man could even respond there were three holes through
his chest. The man had a bigger rifle which Jonathan quickly identified as a kalashnikov.
As jonathan ran through the halls he switched the gun to automatic fire. He ran back to his room
to try to find some more information. He looked back at the note which had another side. He
read it, it said.
Don't let the missiles launch find the mission room and KILL THEM ALL.
Jonathan didn’t take a second to act. He dropped the note and ran. His feet pounding the cold
steel metal he saw the mission room and started shooting first at the people turning the keys to
the launch then everyone else. One man was left he reached for the keys and turned one. The
self destruct turned on the nuclear bombs were about to go off jonathan looked for an exit… but
there was only a sealed door. There was a pressure gauge. Finally he put it together. Metal
floors, walls, and pressurized doors, nuclear bombs? It was a submarine. Then the countdown
hit one… There was a bang the sudden flood of water, and then the deep moaning of the subs
walls pressurising. His breath stopped, he couldn't see light was going dark, vision was fading,
then black.
