I sit in my cell in silence and my most prominent thought is how fucking dull this shit hole is.

The shit hole in question being the skybox, basically a prison on the Ark for criminals who are still under the age of eighteen.

Some of us are innocent or have committed petty crimes like theft or hacking, meanwhile some of us have committed major crimes like arson or murder.

Once we turn eighteen some of us will be lucky enough to have a chance to be placed under review and then we will either be accepted back into the Ark's society or floated.

Ejected straight into space like waste.

My time in the skybox has been boring other than making a few friends here like my cell mate, Monty. Some of us are lucky enough to get visitors, I am one of those lucky few and my best friend Raven visits me whenever she can.

I lay on my uncomfortable bed playing with the dog tag that has hung around my neck for as long as I can remember, the word 'squirt' engraved on it making me smile. Many thoughts floating around in my brain as I hum a familiar tune of a song that was popular way back when.

I wonder if anything interesting has happened on the Ark?

Will Raven visit me tomorrow?

Will I go crazy in here and scratch my own eyes out?

Will Monty ever shut up?

I'm startled by a loud bang and see two guards barge into my room.

well, that's awfully rude

"Can I help you?" I grumble, pulling myself out the bed.

"Prisoner 149. Prisoner 148. Face the wall and hold out your right arms" One of the guards say, their voice dripping with authority.

I glare at them and look over at Monty who nods, telling me to do as they say. We stand up, facing the wall and hold our arms out. I peek behind me and the guards bring out a box full of metal wristbands which seems innocent enough but then I feel multiple sharp needles pierce my wrist, I hiss in pain.

"Be quiet and follow us" The other guards says.

I look over at Monty and shrug, following them. As we exit the room I see many of delinquents being taken out of their cells which only makes me more curious as to what the hell is going on. Some of them fight while others willingly walk like Monty and I. Soon enough we're thrown into line, one by one we walk down a corridor.

As I walk along side Monty, I wonder where they could be taking us. Suddenly a horrible thought runs through my head and I snap my head back, looking around for someone.

they're going to float us all

"Hey, have you seen Finn?" I ask Monty who shakes his head.
