Something I'm working on for an english class.

What if the world you live in, the place you commit your day to day lives was scripted? What if this was all like a television series where everything was monitored and sensored? What if the government and the people we choose to "lead us" were part of a much larger picture? And in this larger picture what if those government officials you thought were protecting you were part of an organization that ran the world? Would you be ok with living in this reality?

What if I told you I could break you free of this enslavement? What if I could show you how to live freely? If I told you there was an underground movement that was plotting to unmask the world would you believe me? would you drop your routine life for one of constant change?....

This was the video that had scrambled into exsistence on the man's computer. He wasn't sure it was real or if he had just had another bad night of sleep. Rubbing his eyes the screen had gone blank. He hadn't turned the computer off though and to make matters worse his boss was coming to harass him. He looked for an escape from what was happening, the day was off to a bad start and he didn't want it to get any worse. Incidentily he would get his escape wish in the form of what appeared to be a new co-worker coming to introduce himself.

As both his boss and the new guy arrived at his desk the new guy smiled and held his hand up in my direction as if to say the boss got to speak first. As his supervisor started to drone on about sales, reports, the staff meeting scheduled for this afternoon the new guy had pulled a 9mm out from a shoulder holster under his suit jacket and leveled it with their bosses back before shooting. Naturally the man dropped dead and there was screaming, particularly from the man sitting at the computer who stood with his hands laced on his head saying "Oh ********, oh ********!" Over and over again.

"Did you get my message this morning?" The new guy said casually as he holstered the gun, "Well whaddya say? Are you in or not jerk-off?" He said.

Naturally a shooting was going to cause a comotion and eventually get police attention so they had to move fast. "I don't understand, where are we going what are we doing? and did you really have to shoot my boss?" The man said in distress as he was being led from the building by the man who had shot his boss.

"What'd you say your name was?" He said as he punched a button on the elevator and checked the magazine he had just put into the gun. The man hesitated eyeing the gun, "My name...My name's Sean who are you?" The man finished examining the gun and smiled at Sean. "I'm your savior Sean. I'm the one who was assigned to bring you out of this hell. Do you really want to continue sitting at an office? Or do you want to live and take what you want?" The elevator door's opened and the man took a pack of cigarettes and lit one of them in complete disregard to the sign in the elevator asking people not to smoke. "Listen, Sean was it? Did you read my message to you? This world is a fake, but if you follow me I can show you how to live without the boundaries they have set up for you."

Arriving in the lobby they walked out the doors of the building and towards a parked car which the man with the gun shot the window out of and then unlocked and crawled in. "This'll do," He muttered as he hotwired it and had Sean get in. "Congradulations by the way." The man, who still hadn't given a name to adress himself by. Sean hesitated, "Congradulations for what?" He said as his brain reeled from the overhaul of praying this was all a dream. The man laughed, "You're free, you can do anything you want now. Steal cars, shoot people you dislike. Hell eat a meal and don't pay for it. We've erased you from every government record." And after that there was silence as the car as Sean struggled to grasp the ideas.

This was all happening to fast and it seemed highly impossible, "How could the goverment not know you were doing this?" Sean said thinking of his newly deceased boss....ex-boss. "Why should I trust you? Why would you even choose me?" He said. The man hit the gas and gunned the car on. "Jesus, can't you just let a good thing happen? No of course you can't because you've been brainwashed by them. Because of them you expect there to be reasoning. Falling is caused by gravity and newton's laws and that s**t." He sighed, "Alright Sean, I'll do my best to explain this." He said as he flicked the cigarette butt out the window and floored it through a red light just narrowly missing traffic.

"The goverment know that people like me are out there alright? They know about me and the worldwide organization I represent that is trying to fix this mess. You don't have to trust me but just listen. My "Job title" Is savior because I go out into the fake world everyday and show people that rational is irrational I choose people that I think need to be saved the most, I chose you because you look like a strong man and from reading your emails I know that you're tired of your dead end life. You like movies? Me too. They represent how the world is but with more color and dialogue." He looked at Sean, "Now you're in a movie free of script. I'm taking us to a safe house where any question you have will be answered. But first we need to pick up another person and pick up a few things."
