Since I was only 2 hours alive, I haven't been able to die. Some treat it as a gift, a cure for anything except old age, a heart attack, or a brain aneurysm. To me it's a curse. If you aren't born into one of the ancient families you have to serve as a servant of the aristocracy until you die. There's one way out, but it's hopeless. Every year one person out of millions is given the cure to our "temporary immortality" serum. they let you kill yourself and have the chance to be reborn as an ancient heir or be dead forever. It's called the death lottery. once you're 18 you're entered, But I don't want to play and I'm willing to do anything not to.

It is four in the morning, and I cannot sleep, I cannot stop thinking. I want to close my eyes and go back to that day before everything changed. Before society forced me into this mould. They all want me to be this strong leader, the chosen one who will unite the world and rule like my family has for centuries. But that's not me. I am supposedly lucky, a genetic lottery winner, born with a silver spoon, money, fame, and power. They do not understand the pressure and the responsibility of carrying an entire nation. No matter what choice I make, I end up hurting someone. They all look up at me excepting something from me, something I'm not. I wish I could go back. Back to when I was just a kid lying on the grass with my friends. My real friends. The ones I was never supposed to have. They aren't royal or noble. They aren't even rich, just a servants daughter and a low born boy. But even they have changed, I'm no longer just Alex to them, I'm your highness.
