PrologueSomething is strange. I overheard my parents discussing rapid change in government. News like this scares me. This scares me because it's reality. It's real. Not knowing much about politics, I immediately ask them what's going on. My throat was tight. But they quickly change the subject to avoid the question, as if I wasn't asking it. I know they heard me. This makes me angry. I ask again, this time in a broad, stern voice. They both look at each other with concern. “Alexis,” said Mother, “I know we are ignoring you. It's for the best. But I think 16 is old enough to know. "What is this?" I answer: “Our country is gaining a new leader, and he will put us under a communist regime. » she said, stuttering. At first, I didn't believe what she said. But then it hit me. Why are they not alarmed? "What! For how long?" I said, trembling: “His name is Korban Thomas. He says it will only last four years, so it will all be over by 2036. But for now, we must respect His ways. she said. I go up to my room. As I walk up the stairs, a tear begins to roll down my cheek. I'm afraid. Aren't communist countries bad? Why can't we have freedom like before? Why is everyone in the county okay with this?

It is enough that there is.Chapter 1: The RevolutionOur country is collapsing. We no longer have freedom. We are no longer united. The patriotic United States is no longer known for letting freedom ring. Our leader has turned against us. We no longer have the right to be ourselves. You have to follow...... middle of paper ...... his ladder on the wall which leads to an escape hatch on the roof. I got out just in time. she said. I tell him all about the plan and that I have to stop him. We pass through the Capitol building down the street. I wear a long black hooded coat to disguise myself. I have to integrate like a normal citizen, otherwise I will be caught. When I arrive at the top floor where President Thomas's office is located, I have to be careful. Ashley says she will watch outside her office. I enter. His office is empty. I run to his computer and insert the USB stick into it. When the loading is finished, I see the countdown. I'll finish in ten seconds. Pure adrenaline rushes through me. This is my moment. I put my hand on the “deactivate” button. Ready to stop him. Then I hear a gun click. I look and it's President Thomas. He says, "Oh Alexis, I always knew you were the type to watch.”
