My hand fidgets with my white blouse and blue pencil skirt as I watch people fail the Dome." sit still you're going to wrinkle your blouse stop fidgeting." my mother says as she organizes my younger brother and sister." there only two mothers leave them be they're nervous they shouldn't have to sit or go through this.no one should" I mumble underneath my breath. " what was that deer speak clearly."she says looking up with a stern look at me as she would say I was ruining her family image. " nothing mother" quickly and quietly putting up my mask with a fake smile.
You're probably wondering what the heck is going on and who am I well my name is Maylie Jane I'm 17 I'm the big sister to Michael Jane and Melody Jane who are 2 yard old. we're currently sitting in a big silver Dome where they pick the numbers sacrifices . You're probably wondering why would you pick numbers to soccer do you know everyone has a number on your right forearm
So 79 years ago the world became overpopulated they got a group of leaders and they came up with number shredding so. Everyone to enough or put into a computer and chose for the number shedding as sacrifices and then they pick sacrifices to be a savior to the world sick right there's a loud boom that closest to the Dome that pulls me out of my thoughts the Screech of the speaker's ringing in my ears I have three numbers are chanting in my head
Mine-70001
Michaels-86029
Melodys-86030
Pray that no one we'll calls these numbers
" welcome to the 79 number setting we will be starting in 9 minutes please take your seats" the computer automated voice said over the speakers the dome lights up and their screams of all the leaders from around the country with their family sitting in other domes front and center or pictures of all the flags where your picture and your number will pop up if your calls with all the facts behind you.
My mother makes way to the front. With a one looked behind and a quiet Mumble I think I made out the words" I love you stay safe" but I could be hearing things she sits in the front because she is our mayor of one of the sections in this state.
I look over at my little brother sister they have terrified faces on something tells me something is going to go wrong today nothing good is supposed to come out of this .
