" Layla I you finished your voice memo. we have to go. Did you not see the militia while you were spying? We are pirates we break the rules. Yes. But not these. We only break certain rules. We don't belong somewhere for adults and the militia is here do you want to get on the death boat too? Huh. Now, I realize that there is no one to get in the in that rebellious soul. But please." said my brother Elijah. He's frantic and the one that brings sanity to our band of 5 pirates. ( Pathetic I know. But no one else wanted to join. Too many wimps. ) not including me. More of a lover instead of a fighter. Don't underestimate him though he's not a goody two shoes...... most of the time. He's just a scientist kind of, in our little group. He doesn't like "going out into the field" . Trust me though with those gadgets he could kill you faster than he can analyze human brain cells. ( Just letting you know it's about..... twenty seconds.) Right now he has caught my attention. That word but always gets me it's like telling me a dare proposition in your hands. Can you do it? Yes you can is always the answer, come veggies or high water I can defeat well maybe not brussels sprouts. Sickening if those things are fried or droned in salad dressing. I could collapse of distasteful disasters in my mouth. Anyway the word except or but it's like telling me you can do it. I make sure to show them wrong every time.

"Ok, Elijah. Let's go home before you have a fit. Anyway, you should be at home. It's your birthday. Are Luke and Nathaniel at home? " I asked. Astonished that he isn't home. Abigail our older sister would be making a feast. I haven't had an actual wholesome meal in two weeks. I know you're asking wouldn't you have died. Wait no. How can you survive without food? I love food so basically. I snack all day, all night on travelocities or what you beginner of the 21st century call "astronaut food". I get it from our Mom and Dad well that's what Abigail tells us. Every month she takes a journey to the center. Where all of the council lives even Dictator Jonah. You go there and give him a trade ,most of time coins or land, and he gives you what you want mail. Why is mail so important? The only communication. I'll talk about that later. This process including the journey to the center takes about a month sometimes two if the toxic global warming stuff messes the with the air on the border. Green houses and solar panels take you so far. If it isn't clogging the air enough so you can make it through. Once you get to the border. You have to pay 2,000 in cash. After that you can either choose to take a plane, jet, or boat. If you take air transportation. You have to have a full body security check. After that hour or so process of checking you and everything you have, you have to swear on the bible for forgiveness of all sins if you don't they have to bring out your soul. Which is laying in a chained bed they give you brain washing drugs and make you listen to a speech from a priest as a medium " talks to your soul". This is why Mrs.Rachel and her husband were assassinated. This is why I'm a pirate so I can rebel against this mess. We were given a constitution with rights that helped society run a little smoother and respectfully and they got rid of it. Like what if you don't believe in Jesus. What if your Jewish or Buddhist? Or any other religion? You should still be respected with kindness. It's common courtesy. Sorry this just really ticks me off. I'm sorry I don't want to be under a psychotic, insane, uncontrollable tyrant. If you do well ( your an idiot along with him.) your life will be fun filled with, what was it again... Oh torture!!
