It was subtle but it was there, a lingering sensation of being watched from afar. Keeping my head still, eyes looking from left to right, but for all, there is too many for me to spot my very own paparazzi, don't know why would someone even give a hint of their eyes to look at me, I wasn't interesting, I am quiet, like a hermit on the end of its world, hiding from the prying eyes of everyone. Could there be someone that recognizes me? I'm a hundred percent certain no one even seen me before up until now. We were kicked out from the City when I was still a child, I and my mother would live off on caves and underneath trees for how far I could remember. I always wanted a home, but we can't surely have it all, my mothers' wise words still to this day, echoes in my mind,

"We'll make it work."

And now that I'm here, at least I could have a bed to sleep on, and I am thankful. This must be a gift from my mother, giving me hope, guiding me from above, never leaving my side to whichever side of the universe I might be.

As all of us were leaving to go back to our rooms, shoulder to shoulder, I could feel everybody around me is tense, muscles are flexing and bodies stiff. As the farther we when to the corridors, the fewer people around us, like a bus, every room is a bus stop and a few would get off and the less crowned bus moved forward. Locking the door behind us, we've all subconsciously decided to flop down on the floor. This might be our favorite stop to relax. I stood up and grabbed the only book on the shelf on the side of the door. "What's this?" I asked, to a quite thick piece of literature.

"Oh, that's the history of Capitol I think, I've read a couple of pages from that, but ditched it, I don't really like reading that much," Vanessa says placing both her arms n her stomach. Theo then stands up and climbs on his bunk, "I'm taking a nap, please wake me up when 1 hit, still need to do my test at Area I," he then turns his back against us which leaves the both of us on our own. "Alright Vanessa, I need to ask you something." I looked at her all seriously, "Okay?" raising an eyebrow.

This was my time to know what the fuck is going on and get answers to my never-ending questions. "How long have you been here?" my primary concern. "Ah, well if I remember it correctly, I was taken here at The Americas 3 months ago? Then I'm here for 2 months now." She says all satisfied. "And why exactly were you brought here?" still not convinced of the things I'm hearing right now. "Well, after the invasion took place 3 months ago, Leader Larra Drie told our people that the Capitol needed assistance here so, about a hundred of us were brought here, and we went on this like camps and orientations for about a month then we were instructed to go here but the Capitol." I am so confused, just decided to drop the questioning for now. "Okay, I'll take a nap as well." Slowly lying on my bed, turning my face against the wall, without tempting to fall asleep, just thoughts-boggling my mind right now. How could it be possible that all of this started 3 months ago? It all just started not even a week ago, and what's with these tests in these Areas they've been talking about, why do I feel that I am so out of place here and that I don't belong here? Something is going on that I don't know, many things I don't have the answer for.

Still holding the book in my hand, slowly opening and reading the first few paragraphs, 'The Corporal was established back in the year 3000, with its leaders from four continents of the Earth, people have found peace and built together with a respectable system of hierarchy and governance. With the combination of once North and South America came to its official name The Americas rules by Cortious Hul, a general in the army now leading the continent responsible for Man Power of the Earth, he leads the attacks and the one who plans the defenses of Earths Astro defense systems. The Americas also is responsible for bringing power supply to every nation. And manufactures weaponry for our soldiers and guards. Then comes Europhica, the combined forces of Europe and Africa. After Africa's fall against under population caused by malnourishment. One leader stood and turned Africa's vast lands into fields of medicine plants that provides the production of all medicine on Earth, which then provides free health care for every citizen, Porcha Windle, a top scientist who specializes in botany and genetics, manufactured different hybrids of plants that could grow and flourish on such harsh weather conditions of Africa. After harvest every April, these specialized plants then get transported to Europe to be manufactured into drinkable syrup, pills, and injections. East of the medicine continent is the Asian Islands, which once held the title of the largest continent on Earth but now is only second to the last, the tragic fall of nations of Asia started with the melting of the polar ice caps and the disappearance of Antaricas whole Continent. With such a massive amount of ice being dissolved, water levels rose and some parts of Asia sunk. Then came the fall of South Korea to the invasion of its Northern brother, North Korea. Which gave the president of Korea the confidence to start a war with Russia. Both fought well but in the end, no one was victorious, because of the rise of Larra Drie, CEO of the biggest tech company at the time. She allied with Cortious Hul and ordered to kill both Presidents of the war freak nations which now both nations are off-limits due to their high levels of nuclear remains and toxic waste. And she took over, with her already well-established company, started a new era of technology for Earth, and now serves as the Leader of the Asian Islands, responsible for all tech devices on the planet. And lastly the most unique and one of the most important continents, Ausnalia. Was once the continent Australia and the man-made nation on its east Oceania. Oceania was built way back in 2050 when the Australian wild fired started to die down, people join forces to build a new continent, and is now a whole continent serving the meat and crop industry of our planet, with its massive landmass of grasslands, Australia became the plant industry of hybrid plants given by Europhicas top researchers, that could withstand the heat of Australia and its climate. And Oceanias land became a grassland of livestock, from cows, pigs, and other farm animals. They provide food and nutrients for every citizen on this very planet.

With this system, planet Earth became a strong planet of power. Everything was at peace and every continent served its purpose to keep the human race going and hopefully up until the end of the universe.'
