Personal Narrative: The Resistance

The Resistance

It all started when Isis took control over the Earth. My bones were shivering. I was hiding with Bill and Rick in Bill’s basement that nobody knew about. We could hear footsteps. Bill was hiding under the air hockey table. Rick was hiding under the bed. I was hiding in the dryer. I heard gunshots. The door slammed.

“We were all alone. It's just us.” I said. “I bet you miss Katlin the most.” Bill said. “Shut up Bill.” I said. Bill and I started to fight, but we were really just wondering what would happen next. Rick ended our feud. We heard a helicopter leave the area. We got out of the basement. It looked deserted as far as the can see, but in reality we knew we were not alone.

So what now? Rick asked. I just shrugged. How about we check out the school. Said Bill. So we went to the school. As we went into the school I got chills down my back. We saw someone walk out of the office. We

all darted away in hope they didn't see us. Whoa! what happened here? Asked Rick. A bunch of the lockers were on the floor. As we walked into the classroom we saw two girls panicking.

I know you three. I said. What? Who are you guys? Asked Katlin. Wait you don't remember me? I'm your boyfriend. I said. Ok I don't remember much, but I know that's not true. Katlin said. Yeah! stop hitting on her! Said Shelly. Yeah stop hitting on her Jack. Bill said in a mocking tone. If you don't shut up Bill UGH! I said. Maybe we should leave, I said, before anything happens. We all left the premises.

What next? I asked. Let's go back to Bill's. So we went to Bill's house. I'm starving. I said. You're always hungry. Bill said. Whatever, I said, we should figure out which one of us is going to take the leadership. We all started to argue about it. After hours of countless arguing we soon realized we were being watched. BANG!!!! BANG!!!!! Somebody was pounding on the door. We all dropped to the floor. OPEN UP. Said the man outside. Let's take our country back. Rick said. Let’s get him. We all picked something up and charged towards the door. WOLVERINES! I screamed. Now is not time to be quoting red dawn bro. Rick said. I quote when i'm scared. I said. You must always be scared, said Katlin. I opened the door and was punched in face and my nose started to bleed. I dropped to the floor. I don't remember much after that, I think i was starting to black out.

I woke up in a bed. Where am I? I asked. We're at Bill's house. Said someone in a distance. Who are you guys? Who am I? What's going on. AM I GONNA DIE!?!?!?! They answered all my questions and more. It turns out i got knocked out. Am i gonna get my memory back? I asked. Over time...... hopefully. Said a different voice.

It's been a week since Earth was conquered. I'm starting to get my memory back. Hey Bill, I said, Should we risk getting food? I say yeah I mean we need to eat. Bill said. So we went to the store. The store was abandoned. When we came back to Bill's we found something different. The house is gone. Shelly said. The house is gone! They found us and nuked us, we're middle schoolers! Maybe we should go camping. Said Rick.

We were in the woods with only two tents and five people.

Shelly and Katlin had a tent and Bill, Rick, and I had the other. Later we were sitting at the camp fire. Have I ever told you guys that I think of you guys as family? I asked. What? Everybody asked. What? I said in a scratchy voice. In the morning we all were just sitting around and Shelly asked if we should just give up? I mean we're are just a couple of kids. She explained. NO! I said walking towards a giant rock. As I put my right foot on the rock I said; I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight. Now, this is easier for me because I'm used to it. The rest of you are gonna have a tougher choice. Look, I don't want to sell it to you; it's too ugly for that. It's ugly, and it's hard. But when you're fighting in your own backyard, and you're fighting for your family, it all hurts a little less and it makes a little more sense. And for them, this is just some place, but for us? This is our home. Now is not the time to quote Red Dawn either, said Rick. Sorry I

said.

We woke up in a jail cell. Where are we, I asked. You’re in jail, said a voice in the distance, we found you guys camping in the woods and we took you to jail. Who are you asked Bill. I’m the leader, he said walking into the light. Well we’re the resistance. Said Shelly. Not anymore, said the leader, you guys are captured. Hey I’m a girl, said Katlin. Whatever, he said, you “people” are lucky you are kids otherwise you would be dead.

So this is It, this is where it all ends for us. I said. We’re never going to see our family again our we? I asked. (I was right we never did see our family’s again) We did not get food, heat, and we didn't even get spea. WHenever somebody spoke everybody got slapped. If you’re reading this, Save us, save your family, And most of all Save yourself. This is the end for us you can sae us anymore. This is Jack and on the behalf of us this is Jack signing off.
