Clones are everywhere! Your sister has mysteriously has died too why and how? Find out!
Chapter 1


He was crying at his sister's funeral. It had been a hard summer for the both of them. He watched her kill herself. There must have been something wrong with her to begin with. He was wondering if it really was a suicide that did it. He went to bed alone that night. He got a phone call as he was getting ready for bed. “Hello this is lawyer Danni Brown.” She said. He was shocked maybe it wasn’t herself that died, but maybe someone did it to her. “Yes.” He said. “Your sister was not alone when she died.” She told him. He listened as she spoke, “Would you like to testify in court that she was killed by someone?” She asked. “Sure.” He said. He then heard her say, “Meet me tomorrow at the central cafe.” “Okay.” He said. He hung up the phone and laid in his bed thinking to himself ‘Who could do this to her?’ It was hard to tell she had a lot of friends. ‘Poor Sally’ he thought.
It had been a long day on the farm. He had worked long days and was tired. It was time for fall to come around. The days are getting colder and the time is messing everyone up. The road up to the house was gravel. It was a short walk up to the porch. The dog started barking for no reason. He saw something in the sky, but didn’t think much of it. Planes flew by all the time. Then the world went black.

Chapter 2
The bomb flew in the sky. It hit the ground hard. Everyone was dying or living from the glow of the missile. It was hard to see. The darkness hit like a lost puppy in the street. It was all going to end this way. One thing could change everything. It was hard to breathe too after watching the Earth end.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
There in all its glory was the Planet Earth. We landed . The feeling around us was nice. You could breathe the clean air once again. It started as a good day. It was hard to believe that she was gone. My wife of fifty years. The sun was shining. The birds are singing. Everything was going good. My name was not important but I will tell you it was Mark. The rocket looked much like it did on Mars white with a red flag on it. The thing about Mars is that you don’t have to worry about any wars or famine because there was a peace treaty with the whole planet if you started a war your bar code would go off and you would die. The famine part was all about food. If you were born and raised on Mars you got food for free as long as you were born there. We landed on what seemed to be a large island by Australia. Papua New Guinea seemed to be where we were on one of the bigger islands. It was a nice hot day. My crew were slowly coming out of the rocket. Then everything went dark. There was a big explosion as if someone wanted them dead. It wasn’t much of a show of power, the bomb didn’t affect them, but on an island a few 100 meters away it looked like it hit hard, hurting the people there.

She was going for a run. She had run a lot in high school. She missed her brother. He had nine millimeters in his hands. He had been watching her for weeks to see her routine. He knew she ran every morning. He did have a motive for her death. He was a stockbroker and she had invested in some bad stocks making him a broke man and someone they made fun of at work. She had also lied to him saying she would invest in better stocks and would pay him for all the money that he had lost in helping her find the ‘right fit’. He got ready to aim hoping this would be the last time he would have to worry about losing so much money. She stopped to take a couple of breaths and then a loud bang and it had been done. He felt happy knowing what he had done, knowing people would think it was an accident or that she just got over tired and died from running.



Chapter 3

The cafe was full of people. He could smell the fresh coffee as he was waiting for his order. “Albert!” said the young barista. He got up to get his coffee. He sat down and then heard high heels hit the wood floor. She was a young lawyer with blonde hair and green eyes. “Hello.” She said. Seeming to know him. “Hi.” He said. She opened her binder full of papers. “ I know you from that tire commercial on the local news.” She said. “Oh.” He said having forgotten all about that. He looked around the cafe to make sure that no one was watching. He was nervous talking about his sister after a week of her being in the ground made him nervous and scared to even talk about it. “We have security footage of your sister with someone else and wanted to know if you knew the person she was with. We can’t seem to make out who it is in our database.” She said. “Okay.” He said. He looked at the picture and it was a man all right, but who. She wasn’t dating anyone at the time. As far as he knew she was single. He tried to remember any guy friends that she might have had. He remembered a weird guy who looked like the one he was staring at Bob. He wouldn’t hurt her now would he? So many questions so little time, because he was running free if it was Bob. “ Well I think it's one of her friends Bob McQueen.” He said. “ I know where he lives if you need to talk to him.” He added. “Okay you sure?” She asked. “Yes.” He said. She got up to get a coffee. Her order came and she was on her phone. “Oh it does look like him.” She said after pulling up his Facebook profile. “Okay so the court date is in two weeks here are your papers and I’ll see you there and I will keep in touch about this Bob okay?” She asked. “Alright,” I said. She then left the cafe with him staring out at the sky ‘another plane,’ he thought.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
He saw them coming and knew all too well what was going to happen. The boys in blue did their job and did it right. He got into the cop car and felt like maybe he left too much evidence at the scene. Who could have known it was him? A young lawyer had knocked on his door. Once she saw the state of the house and the gun hanging on the wall in the background she knew she had him, the monster who ruined someone else’s life. He went into a room for questioning. “Are you friends with the victim or have you known the victim for an amount of time?” Asked the young lawyer. “Yes we were close in high school before I became a broker and then she took services from me and bought and sold stocks, but she wasn’t good at it and made me a broke man.” He explained. “So that’s why you did it?” “You were broke?” She asked. “Yes.” He said. The court case was short as he heard the verdict he was happy maybe for once he did society a favor by killing someone who only left you alone and broke and whenever he needed her she was too busy at her own job. He got into his cold cell and knew he was home, but maybe not for long!

Chapter 4

He was in the dirt when he woke up from the blast. He looked at his arm and they were green. He checked his hat and it was still there and hadn’t changed. He was hoping his cows were okay. He hated to lose cattle on the off season during fall when everyone had already bought and sold what they could of cattle. He looked around and it seemed okay they were mooing at him. All the sudden he wanted to eat them and he wanted to eat humans too. He was tired so he sat on the ground to think. Why was he green? He seemed to not be sick. He looked around for something. He then heard the house door open and there was his wife as she fell bleeding to death right on the front porch. He was in shock and started to cry. Then it started to rain.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

He was on the ground and then got up to see if his crew was alright. They were fine. Mandy the alien, John the CPU robot and Mary the half blood half human half alien. They survived whatever that was. They got their guns out because they thought there were going to be more bombs to come their way. It was quiet so they settled down and went on with their Earth mission. They were to take mineral samples and capture someone to do a scientific experiment on that person. They looked around and saw a farm that was not so far away they could hear cows mooing. They started to walk up the house. They found a dead lady on the porch. Then a man sitting on the ground staring out at the sun. They were quiet and he didn't know they were there. They shot him with a dart to knock him out. They then started to dig the ground to find anything important. They put what dirt they could in a glass vile. They went back to the rocket to camp for the night in their memos they all got they had to stay one night at least to make the trip back to Mars the rocket wouldn’t start right away so they had to wait a day and whenever this human woke up. They had him chained up to the rocket so he couldn’t escape. We didn’t notice that he was green. We thought maybe he was sick or something. He is still a human who cares. When he woke he was in shock. He was screaming, “Who are you people!” “Calm down.” Said Mark. The human looked around scared. “We are good people.” Said John. They put him the rocket which was bigger than it looked from the outside.They put him on a lab table. He was scared, but tried not to show it. They put a needle in his arm that had fluid at the end of it. He fell asleep.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
He knew he needed to escape, but how and for how long we did not know he was gone or to where. He had taken one of the metal spoons from breakfast and sat at his bed looking at it. They were not supposed to have metal spoons, but today they had run out of plastic. He had recently gotten a calendar from another cell mate. He started to break the soft marble and knew he would make it out!

Chapter 5

He was running through a cornfield and was getting hot from all the running. Then he heard sirens and before he could even try to escape them they took him and put him back in his cold cell. ‘I will make it out again’ He thought as they put him in solitary confinement. He had a straight jacket on and he started to laugh once they shut the door. He sat there thinking about his next escape and hopefully being out of here for good! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
The court room was cold. It had been a long day and it was just starting. The lawyer who he met at the cafe was there holding her arms from the cold. The judge came into the courtroom. He was an older looking man and seemed to know his business. The case was about to start. Everybody stood up to start the case. There was a raising of hands as the police officer had us testify. Then everyone sat down after that. The lawyer who he met at the cafe was his lawyer. I was called to the stand. “So you think your sister was murdered?” Asked the other lawyer, who was an older man. “Yes.” I said. I was sweating, but ready to answer any questions. “Who do you think did this crime?” He asked. “Bob McQueen.” I said. “ Why do you think this?” He asked. “ He was with her before she died and he was the only one who would know.” I said. “No more questions.” Said the lawyer. I got off the stand and waited for the trialto be over. When it was over my lawyer said “Good job they are going to Bob’s cell to question him right now.” She said. “Great!” I said. I went to my car to drive away to go home. I was happy that was over. McQueen had to sit in jail for months later, happy to know my sister can rest easy. He had heard a rumor that he had escaped, but that they had gotten him back in jail. They said he was easy to find and didn’t put up much of a fight and he was hoping he stayed right where he was in jail. He sighed as he took another sip of coffee. God only knows if he will get out again, but I hoped he didn’t even get close to even thinking about freedom.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Mandy was woken up by the human. He started screaming, but the others didn’t mind. She sat down next to him. “Want to go home?” She asked. “Yes.” Said the human. “Then do as we say and you will be fine.” She grabbed a vile of blood they had taken from him and looked at like it was going to hurt her. Then the others slowly woke up. They were going to their planet for the day to show around their slaves. He would go back to Earth soon, but they needed him to get money for his blood and he had to be there for that. We landed on Mars. It has been awhile since they have been home. They had the human chained up so they carried the chain with them as they walked through town. They went to the nearest hospital. They gave the blood to a black market doctor. It wasn’t a big deal to be a black market doctor now since on Mars it was legal. They got $500 for the blood enough to take him back and go back to Mars. They took him back to take him home. They started on their way back and there was an asteroid field in their way. “Why not plow the straw?” Asked John. “It won’t be good.” Said Mandy. They were going slow like they were on thin ice on a sidewalk. They saw what had happened and Earth had been blown up. “Shh don’t tell him.” Said Mary. The human was sleeping unaware of what was happening tired from giving blood. “We could use him as a slave or a deckhand.” Said John. They all thought about it for a while. The Earth was gone so they had to keep him as a slave. All of a sudden the human slave was attacking the crew members, hurting them and turning them into zombies. Now the zombies were flying in space going back to Mars to infest the whole planet.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
We got to Mars and knew we could conquer and take over what we could. We started with a small village of aliens who we could take to be our slaves if need be. They wanted to fight us off, but they were too weak and we had venom they couldn’t get out of there system even if they tried. Then the village leader called the cops on us and Mars police were not to be played with. They took us to jail, but it was more like hell as if we were in a solitary confinement room all to ourselves, each of us in our own rooms. Then the tests started!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I had an IV in my arm and as a robot it was between my cooper plating. I was a zombie yes, but had a robot body of a robot. I remember some of my robot life and how I came to be. A scientist made me help elderly people in the nursing home. I worked in a nurse home for a while for an older man. He had a hard time remembering things. I helped with the cleaning and the cooking. I wished he was here now to stop them from doing what I believe was experiments on me and the others. I hoped they were making much of a fight. I wanted to run and hide. I knew it wouldn't be hard to find me being copper and all, all you needed was a light detector. I would goo 'beep beep' and there I would be. The fluid going threw me was blood yes, so they didn't need to run extra tests to get what they wanted out of my blood unlike other robots where you need to put water in it to down a little bit of oil in the blood to make where they could test on it. The nurse came in to take my vitals. It was kind of hard to take a robot's vitals, because we are so hard. You have to take the softest tissue you can find and take the vital there on that part of the body. I had good vital signs. She left to get me a glass of water. I waited for her to come back.
.......................................................................................................................................................
I felt like I was going crazy here. I am an alien not some kind of creature you can just keep in a cage. I am also a zombie now and had a hunger for blood. The nurse came in to do my vitals. I grabbed her arm and took a big bite. As she fell unconscious to the ground I ran to the door that was surprisingly unlocked. I ran into the jail which I have never really seen much of before. I kept as quiet as I could and walked to where all the guards were when they were on break. It was like a staff lounge with a coffee pot and a couple of vending machines. I saw that there was an open closet I thought I will hide in here until it breaks time and then I will attack and then get my friends out of here. I waited for my victim.
....................................................................................................................................................
I needed another cup of coffee. I went into the lounge to make another batch. I could hear footsteps behind me, but I ignored it. I then fell to the floor with a loud BUMP!
.....................................................................................................................................................
I grabbed the keys from his waist. He had a belt on, but I was able to get it off with no problem. I went back where I came from and was ready to see my friends again.I got to Mark's confinement cell and got ready to open it. I opened it and I whispered, "It's me I am here to get you out of here." He came to the doorway and I got the robot out and we were going to where the main jailhouse was to get our revenge on these monkeys. I then remember they never searched me and I have a pocket knife on me. We got to the main jail house and then I took a guard by the throat and made him make every cell open. Then had a main button for all the cells so they could open them all for breakfast and stuff like that and then when everyone was free we ate all the guards. I wanted to just go outside and be free. Then a thought came to mind what if we took over this jailhouse and made it our place. A place to hang a place to hide or to even run away to. I yelled, "We own this place, but if you want to leave and maybe get caught again be my guest!" I said. Then it got quiet as all the criminals thought of what they wanted to do. "Sure we can stay here." Said one of the inmates who was very buff. We decided on making us a group of troublemakers. We started to make plans of how we would take over the small town we were in and how this would be our secret place to hide.
.......................................................................................................................................................
I was on my way to work. I then heard a tap at my car door. I then felt my arm being bitten by an alien. I tried to fight back or to drive my car away, but the pain was too much for me and it felt like I couldn't do anything about it. I lost it then and then became what I never wanted to be a zombie.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
I survived the jailhouse being taken over. I was one of the nurses who didn’t die or get eaten or turned into a zombie. I was ready to do what we were going to do to them to experiment. I waited until they came back. I took the alien and knocked her out with a needle full of octicotin and she fell to the ground and then I took her back to the confinement room.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Bob McQueen was on his way to another jailhouse. He was in a big unmarked van. We were on the road pushing 80 miles an hour. Then all the sudden the van veered off the road and crashed into oncoming traffic. There was a big crash and the guard yelled at us to stay in the van. I wanted to just climb out of the window. I waited until the guard wasn't looking and I jumped out of the small window and my shirt got caught on the barbed wire. I didn't care and started to run into the nearby forest. I knew of an abandoned cabin I could stay in for the night and I could barricade the door so if they did know I was there or even escaped they could not easily get in to the cabin I was going to stay in for the night or maybe even a week if I thought it was a good secure place.
.......................................................................................................................................................
I woke up in the confinement room again. I thought I had gotten myself out of here. I hated it again. I had another IV in my arm and I saw a couple of blood samples over by the door. They did all this again without my knowledge. The nurse came in to give me some food. I looked at it wanting to eat it and at the same time wanting to just kill her. I was going to wait for the right moment. If it was too soon she might get what I am trying to do which is eat her and she might try to call someone and make sure no one gets eaten or killed. I didn't like her, but I knew she had a plan for us. Then someone else was with her, a tall black haired man. I didn't know who he was or why he was here. "Hello I am Scientist Johnson." He said "We took some blood samples to find out how you were made a zombie and see if we can make you an alien again." He explained. "At least get the thought of eating humans out of your mind at least." He said as he kept talking. I looked at him and wondered if it was possible for me to be a true alien again and I did want to be one again not whatever it was that I was now. I suddenly was full of hope and maybe I could go back to my home planet of Nubia and maybe settle down with someone. I always wanted to get married and maybe if I let these crazy people get me back to normal I would be able to get married without me worrying about eating my kid or husband. I ate my food then not wanting to eat the nurse but rather my rare steak that was in front of me.
.........................................................................................................................................................
I was in the woods looking for a deer to hunt. I was never much of a hunter, but now I made myself one. The cabin idea was working great and I was comfortable enough to go out and hunt without worrying about getting robbed or the cops waiting for me to come back to the cabin. I made a bow and arrow out of what I could find. A rock that I carved into a triangle and I made it sharp to the touch. I found some string laying around in the cabin to make the string to bend the arrow and point at the target. I had been practicing earlier and thought well lets try it out. I saw a deer near a creek. I slowed my breathing and hid in a nearby bush. I knew it had not heard me or seen me so I was in luck. I laid on the wet grass and then it looked away from me drinking from the creek. I pointed and shot. Then a loud crash sound came from where I shot. I looked and saw it was on the ground dead. I stood up and did a little happy dance. I then grabbed the dead buck body to take back to the cabin. It was a long walk sort of and I was very hungry. I got to the cabin and looked at what I killed. It had big antlers and hooves to match. I had never cut a deer up before and was not sure how to do it. I looked at it for a long time and was worried that I might have to just let it rot outside and just not eat it. I started to cut at its fur and tried to remember from the hunting shows I watched what to do. I got to the meat of the deer and started a fire to eat it. I was not going to save any of it and if I did I was going to eat it the next day. I was happy as I sat at the fire to eat a meal I hadn't really had in a couple of days. The deer was very good the first time I really had deer. I sat next to the fire and ate the whole deer in one sitting. I was so full I fell right away to sleep on the old bed that was left in the cabin.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I felt different than normal. They had injected me with something. I felt like I could do anything. All the sudden I felt like cold vapors coming out of my hand and all the sudden the toilet in front of me was frozen. I screamed in shock. I wasn't sure what to do and then the nurse came in with my food. She saw the frozen toilet and dropped my food. I didn't know what to say to explain. I said, "I just happened. I swear and I am not sure how I did it." I said. "All they did was inject you with a contrast and that should not have happened." They both looked at the toilet and did not know what to do. The nurse got an ice pick out and started to get some of the ice off the toilet. When the nurse left I was upset, not sure of this new thing, this new power. I felt like I could take over and maybe even get out of here. I didn't want to stay in this confinement room. I didn't like it here and wanted to be free, before we had found out that the nurse survived and had brought some scientist with her from God knows where. The scientist came into my room and knew what happened because now the sink was frozen. He said, "Looks like you can make things be frozen, show me how." He commanded. I thought of where to freeze now and I thought well the toilet again I guess. So I aimed at the toilet and then a blue streak came out of my fingers and then it was frozen like the sink. He stood there in shock. Then I pointed my fingers at him.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I was in the woods again looking for another deer to kill and eat. Then in the distance I saw a black bear. It was big and running towards me. I ran in panic not sure what to do. It caught up to me and then as it sunk its teeth in I screamed my last scream.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
He stood there frozen in front of me and I got up to get the others free. I knew I had to do this quickly and finally eat the nurse, my last victim. She was easy to kill and all the inmates were still free even though they had some testing done to them too. So now we were all back to where it all began.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
I felt like I could be the leader of this group of misfits. I started to talk, "All right everyone listen up we need to start making this a haven for us and to keep it safe we must keep it a secret." I felt great and then everyone started to murmur. It was okay, everyone had their own opinion, but I knew it would be hard to keep this a secret. We waited until the dead of night to go out and do things.

Chapter 6

I live on Mars. This is what it is like to be a citizen there. “I can’t stop rebutting.” The game tried to explain to her before she left the game. “Well it’s not my fault is it?” She started to jump to motherboard to motherboard looking for the next hit. It is like a drug and sometimes if you fix what’s wrong you get more of a high. Each game is cooler and nicer than the last. The high is something only the hippies dreamed about. So I was on my cyber hitch and kept going to motherboard to motherboard not wanting to fix that old lame game. Pac man what even is that? Oh well someone will get high off of it. I stopped at a car game. I looked at the mainframe. The only thing wrong was the steering was a little off. I was on the cyber hitch one of the things you can do in the cyber world you can also just play games but you won’t get high. You get high from fixing the game and it makes everything ten times better. AI-Allie came in to give me some medications. They are clones, but we treat them like robots.Most of the citizens on Mars have clone creatures or people from other planets really don’t clone or believe in it. They even sound like robots. They can be at two places at once. I tried to understand them and almost fell in love with one. People do have children with them and they get weird powers. Like being able to teleport. They can lift heavy things and predict the future. I saw the pills on the table and I knew if I didn’t take them I would start to feel sick. Then I saw my skin turn a blackish color. I screamed. “What’s wrong?” Asked AI-Allie. “Call the ambulance!” I yelled. She opened her right hip and took out a cell phone and called the ambulance and they were coming in a couple of minutes. They took him to the hospital where he was told, “ I don’t know how you got this sick, but it’s bad we think you might have something that hasn’t been around in a while and that is the Black Plague!” Said the doctor. “You have to stay here to quarantine.” The doctor also said. “How long is that going to be?” I asked. “Don’t know we need to take your blood test that we took to see what we can do and it’s a newer version of the Black Plague.” Said the doctor. “Do you live with anyone or have pets?” Asked the doctor. “No just me and my clone.” I said. “If you could we need to do some testing on your clone too.” Said the doctor. “Okay I will call home and tell my AI-Allie to come to the hospital.”I said. ‘Ring, Ring’ “Hello?” Said AI-Allie “You need to come to the hospital for some testing.” I said. “Okay I will be there soon.” Said AI-Allie. When AI-Allie got there it was quiet in the hospital. She was looking for Jane, her human who she was a clone of. AI-Allie got to the room Jane was in. They sat there Jane in a hospital bed and AI-Allie was in a chair. A nurse came in and said “Hello are you the clone?” “Yes.” Said AI-Allie. “We need to take you testing.” Said the nurse. “Okay.” Said AI-Allie. She got up to go to the lab. They walked down a cold white hallway. They walked to the elevator which was to the right. They went up to the second floor. AI-Allie sat down in a chair as soon as they got to the lab. Another nurse with a cart for blood taking came and the other nurse left. The nurse got a blue rubber band around the AI’s arm. Then as the nurse was going to put the needle in AI-Allie took the needle and stabbed her in the neck. AI-Allie ran down the hall towards the elevator. She still had the needle in hand. A cop was getting out of the elevator and to his shock he saw blood and was going to radio in to dispatch the same needle went into his neck as AI-Allie got into the elevator. AI-Allie got off the elevator and walked toward where Jane was. AI-Allie wasn’t sure if she should kill Jane or not being that they were almost the same person. She kept the needle in her pocket and sat next to Jane. She was thinking about how she was going to kill, but not now, not in this moment.
AI-Allie was still wanting her master dead. She had been waiting a long time. She was going to try tonight. She got into her room and was going to piece her in the heart and she bumped a table by accident and that woke her up. AI-Allie said sorry and went back to her room. She had dropped the needle when she bumped the table so now she didn’t even have a weapon now.

……………………………………………………………………………………..

We have been in the hospital for what seemed like a month. We have found out other people have had the same disease that I have right now. They have come to the clusion that it had something to do with the clones, but did not know how or why. They wanted to extract our DNA and do testing on it to see if there was a default genome in us. I felt like I was getting older. I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and it was true I had more wrinkles on my face than I had in the past. My clone was in another room across from me. I wanted to talk to her and see if she too was getting older. The nurse came to talk to me. “It seems like you have been exposed to alot of radiation due to playing games on the TV is what I am guessing and you have A DNA repair-deficiency disorder which is making you old and can cause cancer.” She said. “Oh great, like I am going to die now?” I asked “You could but we are going to see if we get to it before it kills you that’s why we're here.” She said. The nurse then left my room. I was feeling more sick and I felt the wrinkles grow. I knew I needed to start eating right. I remember one time the nurse told me it was called nutrigenomics that I needed to do and they had me on a diet. I remember quite well carrots and celery with streaks and salmon. It was hard to know how I was going to get better.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
We were out at night and we saw a hospital and seeing a hospital nearby was kind of hopeful. We went to check it out. We saw people and then I thought I saw twins, but then I remembered that Mars likes to do cloning. Some of them were there because they were having a black plague going on, on the planet where their DNA was messed up. I wondered if I was a zombie if I could help with either a blood transfusion or whatever to cure these people. I wanted to help. I talked to a nurse. She told me I could try. I sat down to give some blood. A sample for the clone and the human. I then left hoping for the best.
...........................................................................................................................
"We got a blood transfusion for the two of you. A nice person gave me a blood transfusion for you guys!" She said in happiness. I hoped this was going to work. I could feel things changing and the power in me slowly going away. And then my clone got up and stabbed me with a needle. I could feel my throat gushing out. I held it to keep the blood flowing. The nurse got up and tranquilized the clone in shock of what had just happened. She got me into the ER to get to surgery to get my throat worked on. She put the clone in another room and waited for her to wake up. It was sad to see what had happened. We thought we might have had a cure.

I woke up after surgery and it was successful. I had a scar across my throat. I got some breakfast food in me from the hospital cafeteria. I ate what I could and threw up some liquids. I could feel my powers coming back and wanted to hurt or even kill my clone for what she did to me. I could feel it in my bones she wanted me dead. I could take no other chances if I wanted to be cured she could not live to see tomorrow. I would attack tonight.
............................................................................................................................
I got up and it was late. I walked to her room. I could tell where she was because her name was on the door. She was sitting there waiting there for me. "So you want me dead." Said my clone. I pointed my fingers at her and she froze right in front of my eyes.
............................................................................................................................................
I laughed as loud as I could. She was finally gone. The person who wanted me dead was dead because after all these years she was gone. She wanted me dead ever since we were babies ever since my parents got her from the factory. I knew deep down the both of us wouldn't work. I took her vile of blood from the donor. I injected myself with it and could feel my power going away. For once, I felt normal and I could breathe. I ran out of the hospital into the night to find a place to stay. I started to hitchhike. Someone gave me a ride to a bar and I had a couple of drinks then when it got to be early morning I walked to my parents house. I got there about 8'o o'clock and I rang the doorbell. "Hell." My mom said as she answered the door. I told her everything and then I wanted to cry. She felt sorry for me and let me in and cooked me a real breakfast. I then saw the mainframe staring at me. I wanted to play it. I had an urge too. I grabbed the remote to start fixing games, but then I stopped myself. I knew why I got the DNA sickness it was from this, this game. Then all the sudden it felt like I was in a portal.
...........................................................................................................................................
I woke up and it was all black. I was scared. 'Where was I?' I thought. I got up and then a blue light started to talk to me. "Well hello there you are now in the mainframe you are now here to fix it so others won't get sick." It explained. "You will do fine here, you can do it, we have seen your skills." It said. I wanted to just get out of here. It was dark and cold. I could see my breath. Then it disappeared and I was in the mainframe. I started to take things out and put things in and then finally in a blaze of glory it was all fixed. Then in a pinch that I felt on my skin it started to fight back. It made me sick as I threw up and I fell to the ground or what I thought was the ground. I got up and started to fight back and for a little while my power came back and I froze the whole mainframe making it weak and then finally unable to work. I was then taken out of the portal.
...........................................................................................................................................
I woke up in my bed and then I had to tell my mom what happened. She didn't believe me at first, but then when she turned on the mainframe it didn't work. I wanted to tell the whole world. I went to my local electronic newspaper company and told them what happened, they thought I was lying, but when they tried they couldn’t go in either. For once, I felt like a hero and then the whole world changed, kids went outside and people started to talk to each other. I was happy with this new world without a mainframe!
