Under the Attacking Sky

Coming soon to Wattpad...

We knew nothing would be the same after that fateful day.
The year was 2414 when my family and I watched from our small farm on Earth as the sky quickly filled with unfamiliar spaceships. Talk of war had been on the lips and mind of every person for the past decade and there had been no avoiding it. The Elector had wanted every planet under his rule and Earth was no exception. So we went to war.
Every boy and girl over the age of twelve was recruited for war. Including my brother and I. I still remember the look on my younger sister's face as I waved goodbye and was quickly herded with the other teenagers onto one of the battleships. I still remember the last hug I received from my mother and father before I was pulled away. I still remember the cold silence that settled across the hundreds of girls and boys standing with me as the large, metal spaceship doors closed. The resounding thud sealing our fate as soldiers.
The year is now 2418 and the war still rages on.
My name is Anika Storm of the fourteenth division space sailors, and this is my story.
