    “I don’t know how it got to this point…” said Micheal. There we were, a month after our original plan began, being put on trial in front of everyone. You are probably wondering how we get here. Well, I will tell you. In order to explain, we need to go back many weeks.
    It all began when the planet we settle on turns out to be nothing more than bearing lands. There are no trees, no food, nothing. I spend a long time trying to get other living organisms to the planet, but it turns out they could not survive the bearing cold.
    But I refuse to give up on my plan for world domination. Having one ally, our faction can claim a relatively small amount of land, only able to cover a small part of our planet, let alone the entire world. But the planet registration system has a critical flaw that little knows about, and that is autofill. If you claim the perimeter of some land, the math will automatically assume that all land inside is yours, exponentially decrease the power we need to spend. According to my calculation, if we push this to the absolute limit, we could barely have enough to claim the entire world. But it has to be absolutely perfect.
    And so, the grinding begins.
    On the first day of our plan, we went to a planet full of resources to get the material we need to fulfill our dream. No one suspects us, amazingly. I said to my partner, “people are going to be active today, asking us ‘what have you guys done?’ We want them to be thankful for their land before we took all of them.” I unclaimed all my land so the system let me do what I wanted.
    On the second day, we went to action. Some people realized what we are up to, but it has no use. We are going to succeed, no matter the cause.
    And so we keep claiming land after land…
    The 15th day didn’t go so well. People realized what we are up to, and try to claim what we already claimed to stop our process. but we convinced them to join us. And so, the problem is solved…
    Months passed before we meet and complete the perimeter. We went back to patch a few holes in our claim, and then I said to my partner, “T-22 before world domination”
    And we succeeded. We took over the world. It is ours now.
    But the crisis soon arose. Obviously, people aren’t glad that we took over their land. And so, they hold a trial to judge what we have done and the consequences of our actions.
    And so, the trial begins.
    “Oh there is a lot of authority in prestige here,” I said., “we could host a whole middle school musical here. I got ‘Fallen Kingdom’ ready to play on loop.”
    The chief judge, William, says” If we look at the map, we could see that the empire owns quite a bit of land. a whole 70 percent of the world’s surface. This isn’t against any rule, but this probably is a war crime.”
    And so the debate begins. I keep making a point that there is no war and that what we did do not affect other people’s claim. But the majority of people still aren’t happy that we took over the world, and that we need to disband our faction and remain that way for three days.
    Yes, only three.
    After the three days pass, the plan is going to continue…..

    Writing Homework

    “Hurry up , or we’re going to be late!” I said with a shivering voice. You know that the principle
    roams around this jungle to catch us! Augus, like a very gentlmen indeed said we better hurry or we’ll miss the spelling test. “The spelling test? We should better not go.” I insited . Although they were already by the door of the English department, so they did what they go to do. Just before the teacher closed the door, they rushed in and said, “Uh…,we where in the toilet?”not knowing what to say. “Well”. insisted the teacher. “Maybe you could sit down and be ready for our spelling test”. raising an eyebrow and then squinting her eyes. I did, well very bad in the spelling test, or not the best, to say. August, for he was as smart as he was got a full mark, but no one will be surprised with that, he always gets them right. After that was break. It was a time when you get fresh air outside, well in 5th grade, that was’nt the case here. If your in 5th grade, then it was a time to party lads! In these following months our year found a way to miss going out and instead found a disco room nearby the main hall. So in break , as normal, decided to go to the disco party and was already fall, then I realised the bell rang and they were fixing something in the room, it is going to be the second time we are going to be late. Latin the class with the harshest teacher, he was like a bull compared to a mouse with other teachers. The in my HORROR saw the principle, he looked at me with a stern eye, I realised that August left early but I refused, so he was already in class. The principle then scowled at me and said how I was a scandal and to be a gentlemen and gave me a half an hour detention. It wasn’t the first time I got one from that old man, a real terror he was. So instead of going to Latin, I was to go in imediate detention, which was the best part. That scoundral himself, I muttered under my breath while he mad me compy out an extract from Latin into English, even worse! Me and my accursed luck I shouted when I was out of detention. I went for Art. Yes, I said, I remembered my timetable. So then I went for Art, I was the first too. And when the bell rang, I went in fresh and ready. The teacher impressed by my speed said, “Not bad for a latecomer”. I was to start first while waiting for my class. August came an after me, then looked stunned when I was first. “I was the first out of Latin” said August, who hardly breathed. I was the best at Art in my class, despite not being good at anything else and ended up being first one to be let out and go home. It was as dark as hell and I was not impressed at how late my mother came when I left with August, who was going to myy home for a playdate. “So at least that was the end of my trouble” I sighed with releif and stepped into the car. The principle looked out from his office and grinning with selfishness…

    “Hurry up, or we are going to be late!” Stewart yelled at Chris. “We forgot about Jake’s birthday party, and we only got an hour now!”

    Chris was dumbfounded, holding his head. “We better start moving on, or Jake will be really upset. He was hoping for his birthday party for two months!”

    They hurried downstairs and saw a bus in front of their house. They got on and looked for the bus stop at Jake’s street, but they found the bus don’t stop there! “Stewart, we went on the wrong bus!” Chris shouted, looking stunned.

    They looked for the nearest stop and got off. But it was still two streets away, and they don’t know the path too.

    There was no much sunlight, and the foggy weather made Stewart and Chris more puzzled. Stewart and Chris want to ask for direction, but the deserted street made them more helpless.

    They were looking for help desperately but came out of finding nothing every time. Just when they want to give up and want to return home, they saw a road sign, saying turn left and walk 600m to Barn Street, which is where Jake’s house is located!

    They sprinted through the streets as fast as a thundering bolt and finally reached Jake’s house. When Stewart and Chris reached their destination, they already ran out of breath. They knocked on the door anxiously. Jake opened the door smiling and welcomed them. “I’m glad you guys came! You know I always want to have an enjoyable party with my friends.”
    They did have an enjoyable party that afternoon. They ate appetizing pizzas and watched hilarious movies. ” I’m thankful that we didn’t give up, or we won’t enjoy the pleasant food and movie, and the most important thing is we didn’t disappoint Jake.”

    I don’t know how it got to this point…not that I remember how we came up with this plan originally either. It was meant to be foolproof and perfect, no errors anywhere. If that was true then we won’t be here, in a lab where everyone treated us three like test subjects just because we had different power traits. The lab seemed like an innocent prison, with gleaming marble walls, smiling at you at every angle possible. With so many scientists rushing about, your sight is a blurr; the white coats they wear are pearls, attractive yet small.
    The rooms we were kept in weren’t considered normal either; black walls and the same white floor with three beds that loomed over us.
    Silence was almost everywhere in the room, it could be cowering in a corner or shadowing over a large patch of space. Silence has never been so loud, I thought.

    After the crowd abandoned the hallways, I noticed that the luminous door was slightly ajar. I couldn’t escape from curiosity, it kept on coming back like a falling feather. What I expected to see never reached my eyes, what I observed was more than what I could ever imagine. There was a field of greenery in front of me, filled to the brim like water in a plastic bottle. Sprouts of lime and forest green waltzed around with the crackled autumn leaves while the winter snow sketched alone the lines. An arena filled with all four seasons. What a beauty! The summer pool of water stood there, as still as a silent space with occasional silver ripples. Even when I thought that this wasn’t going to become prettier, the autumn dabbed their leaves and the spring left trails of flowers and fresh gorgeous grass.

    Bang! A thundering slam came from behind. I spotted the gate to the arena closing immediately. Was I going to be stuck in here? Suddenly, the lights dimmed and silence crept back into the universe once again.- Sisley
