Project 4.0

Chapter One

May 30, 3021.

        "Please move aside ma'am." 

                   I moved to the seat next to me.

        "Thank you." The same voice said.

        "You're welcome." My voice croaked.

                Today.. Well, today is a special day. Everyone in the whole city must come to this speech. I heard that this will be the day for the rebirth of the town. Me? Well.. I'm Isabelle Ann. I'm only 17. Nothing cool. Anywa-

        "Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!" The voice of a man in a lab suit cut me off.

        "Now, I know a bunch of you have a hint of what I am going to say. Well. That is not what I'm going to say. Now listen. Today we will start a project called Project 4.0."

                Project 4.0? What an odd name for this experiment.

        "I'm starting to hear questions. No, no. Please save them for the end. Now on with my speech. You all are part of this experiment-project. You all will be reborn again. If you don't want to do it. You will be sent to.. The Quitters.. There you will slowly die, while people up here are happy and still living."

                 Oh god.. The Quitters.. The place where people are sent by the scientists as animals, creatures. Slowly they will die. With no one around them to help. 

        "I suppose you all agree on this project?"

                I heard mumbles of sure.., Ok...

        "Good!" He said happily. 

        "Now I want everyone to line up here and please get a packet. After you are finished answering all the questions needed, please go into this waiting area." He pointed to the brightly lit room.

                Everyone walked slowly to the table stacked with paper. So did I. I stood in line waiting to get the packet. As I looked over to the waiting area, the seats had ropes on them. And wheels. I then saw a very dark room.

                I have a very bad feeling about this.
