I woke up and hit the alarm clock, but there was no reason to because it wasn't ringing. It took me half a minute to adjust my eyes to the blazing light and then when it finally focused I realized the alarm clock said 3:20 p.m. It was 10 minutes till the end of school! I lethargically shifted my legs off the bed, tugged the blanket off and stretched my arms while yawning and then I hit Enter on my computer. I closed my eyes but could see bright spots past my eyelids where ever the Artificial Robotic Multitasker or A.R.M for short was. I heard a high pitched shriek that was custom to my ears and I opened my eyes. I had taken a shower, brushed my teeth, had breakfast and changed clothes. Plaid with blue, I had to teach that A.R.M about fashion. I checked my email and everyone in my class was freaking out, asking where I was and then my mom called me. "I've been calling you over 300 times, which is my calling limit!" My mother shrieked" So now I'm at the mobile shop to change my prescription to unl-" I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't feel, taste or sense anything. Then it stopped and I checked the alarm clock: 8:20 a.m. I lifted my finger off the Time Travel button and headed to the bus stop.

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
