I was scraping an old boat and it was tiring, I had to clean the pieces after cutting them off and then carry them to processing where I had to wait forever to get them cleared to be sent to the smelters. As you can see it’s not very fun at all. My shift is almost over, so I can collect my money and go home. . . “Only twenty shells are you kidding me?! I should get 30!” “Listen, I’m sorry, money’s tight today.” “I don’t care, I worked as hard as everyone else and they got full pay!” “Fine, then take ten more” . That was the manager, He’s greedy. Anyway I am walking home and some guy already tried to take my stuff.

Well, I just realized I was out of food when my friend Sarah stopped by, she’s a good friend but I don’t see her often. We went to the trade place and got some food and had dinner at my place, a hole in the side of a metal chunk. Dinner was just some sealed bread and wet potatoes. I said goodbye to my friend and lay down for bed. . . pow pow pow, what oh no their coming so as you can see I am quite worried that’s because the empress’s troops are coming on their raid. I hide my shell’s and try to hide in my hole in the metal. It worked. I only peeked out once and saw the troops and hid again. When I finally came out I saw it, the street was full of people injured or dead being carried away on stretchers. I ran to look at the body’s, to make sure they weren’t my friends. . . “noooo! Why.”  I saw one of my friends. He’s dead now. On my way to work I didn’t pass as many people as usual. Once I got there I saw my boss. He told me to go over to him, he called all the employees  around  and made a speech about closing the facility and to find other jobs. I decided I wanted to put an end to this.

I saw my three other friends and told them my plan but I didn’t want them to go but I didn’t want to go either. But they convinced me to go. we gathered our shells, in total we had about 90, I also brought my knife just in case. When we set out we realized the bridge between hemispheres was too far away to go on foot so we needed to find transportation. Well I bought a map of the area and there’s an old rusted building on the map labeled sight 19. It was close so we left to go there. When we got there it was in ruins where bodys old and rotted but there were creatures also dead. It was scary but we needed transport so we went in. Upon entering there were more bodys but this time they had bite and scratch marks on them. . . “aaaaaaaaaah” “what happened” “that” “uhhhhhh” it was a dead thing it was just laying there. Few minutes later we came into a room with a whole bunch of coke bottles, we went farther and saw a helicopter. When we approached it a whole bunch of zombies came out and when they attacked, we picked up big rusted metal sticks and defeated them. It was a good thing they were weak compared to us.  We had a helicopter now  and were headed for the bridge. Luckily we knew how to fly it because of the instruction manual

An hour later we bought passes and got in line. We got our passes checked and we were just waiting on jose then pow pow. “No!” yelled Sarah as Jose was shot down. Her brother grabbed her and pulled her away. I almost ran at the guards but I fought my rage and left. We just lost our friend and now we are just wandering through the right hemisphere’s woods. They were nice but we didn’t see many animals. Then we came upon a tall pale thing, its jaw was much larger than a human and he was pale white, we ran as fast as we could to get away. We eventually made camp but we were still scared from the encounter earlier. In the morning I woke up and got ready but then I saw a whole bunch of bug people. At the front there was a buff one who was talking to sean. And then two of them made a grab at Sean and then Sean pulled out a hilt out from the buffbug’s weapon pouch, and pressed a button on it and a white blade came out and then the buff bug pulled another hilt and pressed the button…  And a red blade came out and he yelled “you dare challenge Carson the bug king” and charged and so did sean… the battle was over as soon as it started sean lost his arm and got dragged away as bugs reatreated, i wasn’t hurt in the battle. Sarah was at the creek the whole battle, she didn’t see any of it when she heard the news she cried, but the worst had yet to come. We decided to keep looking for the castle of the empress, when we found it, it was really an above water fancy thing. When we got in we were assigned rooms and an audience with the empress which was tomorrow. That night I slept well and got fed well. Our audience with the empress was today. During our audience we told her to help the west because it was poor and violent. But then a cart got rolled out and Sarah followed it in full battle armor with a weapon which was weird but then what was in the cart was revealed it was sean and then the empress said “my children will now fight” and the floor became an arena and I had to watch. Sarah pulled out a sword and so did sean and they started fighting and then sean heaved the sword and knocked the armor off sarah, I yelled at them to stop but they wouldn’t and then sarah cut off sean’s leg. Sean just lay there in pain as Sarah prepared the final blow and then struck downwards killing sean. . .  I went back to my room waiting for an answer. The next day arrived and I got some news that five guards and one citizen were killed in an attempt on the empress’s life. When Sarah saw me at breakfast she walked over and told me that she was the empress’s daughter and she would be the successor after her because she won the fight and that once she becomes the empress she’ll help the west. Also she looked injured.  Finally after dinner I was called to the court and the empress said “your plea has been denied” and I said “were you the one who ordered all the raids?” and she said “yes” in a very sinister way and then I pulled my dagger from its sheath and threw it at her chest it nearly missed but  it hit her shoulder and all the guards were all stunned and then I ran up to her injured body and yelled “you killed my parents prepare to die!” she screamed and I pulled the dagger out and stabbed her through the neck and then lifted her up by the hair saw that the dagger had partially come through the neck and pulled it all the way through and then cut her head off and threw it as her body slid down the stairs of the throne and then threw the head and, it hit the wall and ka-thunk crack is the noise it made and it hit the ground and looked like the skull was completely smashed. Just as Sarah walked in I was walking down the stairs of the throne she yelled “why did you kill her!”  and I said “because she was causing all the suffering and death so I taught her what it felt like to hurt” “so you killed her” by now all the guards had their weapons pointed at me so I said “so now you’re ok with the death and suffering the west hemisphere” “and your not” “fine then you can die to” and then I grabbed her head and snapped her neck and then killed every guard in the room when I left I saw a janitor and told him to go clean the throne room and gave him 50 shells and the blood smeared crown. Later that week it was my time to become the emperor.
