I woke up to the sound of a loud deep voice of a nazi soldier “ get out of bed it's time for breakfast.” I did not sleep good at all my whole body ached from getting whipped yesterday and the bed was just straw and and a small blanket. As I got out of bed I wondered where my mom was if she was here or even if she was still alive. While (As) I was getting in line for breakfast which looked like water, brussel sprout and artichoke stew I saw my friend Adam who I met yesterday. Adam was the same age as I both of us were 13, we were about the same height as well. Adam has been at the camp for about a week now but he said he wasn't exactly sure. While (As) I sat down Adam commented (said) scared and quiet, “if you talk during meals you don't get to eat for the next two meals and there is only two meals a day.” When breakfast was over it was time to get assigned jobs.

I wanted to go for an adventure in the woods so I asked my mom if I could go and she said yes if she could come with me. So I said ok and we set out into the woods right across the street from our house. About an hour later we spotted a nazi half track through the trees in the woods. We ran as fast as we could deep into the woods and hoped they didn’t see us. We ran until we could not run anymore we saw a place to rest where we were pretty sure the soldiers wouldn't see us. After a 30 minute rest we realized we didn't know where we were we were completely lost. Then came the voices of the soldiers in the woods. They were speaking a language we could not understand. Mom told me to hide up in the tallest tree and we thought hopefully they wouldn't spot us up there.when we got to the top of the tree we could see where we were. We were about a mile from our house. The soldiers were getting closer and closer. My heart was beating so fast and loud it sounded like a hammer I was surprised the soldiers didn't hear

    My foot fell asleep as I was crammed inside the dark closet hiding from them. I could hear the faint gunshots in the distance, yet, as time passed by, the gunshots became louder and louder. The gun smoke which leaked in through the walls, made me nauseous as it filled my lungs like a gas chamber. Though I dared not to cough, in fear that someone would find me. Nauseous and confused, I listened to them as they were all yelling something in German.…

    It has been nearly 100 years since our robotic engineering took a substantial step into mankind. We now have no man to render appreciation or any man to recognize anymore, our world isn’t human anymore. Life is not ruled by us anymore, not since the placement of robotic engineering. The inventor, Simon E. Tomson and our ruler, in my eye’s did not lift our societies issues and problems with life. He did not fix or employ any sort of “better life”, he replicated life as something we don’t need to do, or something we no longer need to live for.…
