"I had a really fun adventure with you Jake, but it's time for me to go." And right there and then, she died in my arms and all of a sudden I felt a violent shake!

Planet WhiteScratch, my planet, is named after the deadly disease that has been threatening our society ever since it was first created. Why, I don't know. There are a lot of things that I don't understand about my planet but I have no choice but to live with it because there is no leaving. WhiteScratch is very serious. You don't know you have it till you're almost dead and there is no cure as of now. Our doctors are trying to find a cure 24:7 and for 3 centuries, nothing. All you can do is live and die and hope your life was not for nothing. I live with my Dad and my mom is dead, because of WhiteScratch. When my mom died, I saw what WhiteScratch was all about. A month before she died, we noticed a lot of big, yellow bumps show up all over her skin and after a week her pupils started to enlarge! About 3 days before she died, she started showing aggressive behavior, not listening, grabbing knives and trying to kill herself, my dad, and me. Staying up very late and getting up early every morning to do some kind of ritual or something. My dad kept me very well protected and when she died, we knew what they meant by not knowing you have it till you're almost dead. We were sad of course but, once she died, we were kinda relieved. It's not exactly your peaceful death you normally hear about but, it never is here on WhiteScratch. You live, you die... with no purpose.
