It's the year 2118 and the United States is falling apart. The third World War just started and there are hundreds of countries fighting over our once free land. Now we are forced into camps to help defend our weak country. The young and old are put to work to do anything from fix dangerous machines or wash clothes from the sick. It makes me mad to see that our ancestors left us in such a poor condition where almost everyone is now an orphan of some sort or on the bridge of death. Everyone is destined to end up in a camp at one time or another but they started at the mid-south of the United States so Texas was first and they continue out every day. Thousands of innocent people die each day due to the greediness of other countries. My whole family died in a bombing and I only survived because I was in, "Right place at the right time" people say, but I think just the opposite. Do you know how it feels to have no one there to say they love you each day? The United States is in a state of chaos and I can only hope to die suddenly so I don't have time to look at the past.

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"
