   The door to Christopher's cell opened. He was dripping in sweat. He hands got clammy as the guard came in. It been three weeks since his eighteenth birthday and he wasn't dead. His body started to shake as the guards stepped up to him.

   "Please face the wall." A gruff voice said. Christopher quickly stood up and did as he was told. His face regained some color as a prick was felt on his wrist as a metal wristband was attached. His breathing calmed a little as he was pulled out of his cell to see other prisoners being pulled out. He looked around to see is anyone he knew was there. And there was. He saw Jasper Jordan and Monty Green being pulled out from opposition ends of the Sky Box, the two Christopher helped once in a while.

   Christopher and many other were put in line boarding a ship. He was in a chair across from Jasper and Monty.

   "What's going on?" Christopher asked looking up at the two on the wall.

   "Were being sent down to Earth!" Jasper replied enthusiastically. His smiled deflated a bit seeing Christopher's worried face.

   "Won't we be killed by radiation?" Chris asked tilting his head slightly.

   "Probably, yes, but at least we're able to see it in person." Monty smiled. Chris smiled at their enthusiasm, but his head was spinning gears. There were so many probabilities on what could go wrong. Before anything Christopher did, he thought of every possibility very thoroughly.

   "Shep, calm down. We can practically see the gears turning." Jasper joked. "Murphy's here."

   Chris was snapped out of his daze at the sound of his best friends name. "He's here?"

   "Yeah. I don't think he's on this level though." Monty stated. The ship had already taken off and Jaha was talking, but none of them listened.

   "Your dads a dick, Wells!" Some kid yelled. Wells was on the ship. Why would Jaha send his only child to a radioactive earth? Christopher thought to himself.

   Suddenly Spacewalker, aka the boy who wasted a three months supply of air, got out of his seat. "Looks like your dad finally floated me." Chris heard him say to who he beloved to be Wells.

  Two others unbuckled their seats but the ship deployed the parachute. The ship rocked back and forth as it proceeded to land. Not a second later the ship stopped.
