Chapter 1
Lucas Greensdale. 17-year-old boy wonder. Lucas invented the TWTL, or Time Warp Trivium Locator, when he was only 11. His parents are very proud of their prodigy, one reason is because he is their son and he is wonderfully talented, the other is because of the grants he gets from sponsors and the government. Because he is underage he has no legal rights to the money, therefore his parents are supposed to monitor and produce the currency their son needs to further improve his intelligence and to fund newer and greater inventions. His parents do not follow this rule. The 40 they put away goes toward the funding, the other 60 goes in their pocket. They live a lavish life full of name brands and expensive this expensive that. One day they will have to give up their rights to any of the money, that day is coming up soon, Lucas will soon turn 18. Lucas' brain-power will be of the utmost importance very soon.
October 17, 2043, 11:48pm. Lucas Greensdale turns 18 in exactly 12 minutes, at midnight he will have legal rights to every penny of his money, he could even sue his parents for "embezzling" his money. Lucas planned to do exactly that. He knew they only treated him as good as they did because he funded their lives.
"Mom! I'm 18, well almost, and I refuse for you to drain my account! I will call Chancellor Goodchild!" "Well go ahead, if we drain both accounts before 12 tonight you will be dirt poor and we can keep living!" "We'll just see about that!"
"Chancellor, its Lucas. Yeah my mother is at it again...No she is going to drain my account, and not to mention, my parents, mostly my mother, have been siphoning off 60 of every grant I have received and put that in a private account in New York." "Lucas, they have currently taken 10 of the total 456 billion. If I freeze the accounts, they won't be able to access any more of the money, but you won't be able to access it until you turn 18." "That's absolutely perfect; I turn 18 in exactly twelve minutes." "Well then this is perfect, shall I send the police to arrest your parents?" "That would be nice, thank you Chancellor, good bye."
"Officer is there a problem?" "Yes ma'am, are you Victoria Greensdale?" "Yes, what's going on, did Lucas do something?" "No you and your husband are under arrest for the embezzlement of government funding, you have the right to remain silent, what you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." "Lucas!! You little bastard!" "I told you not to mess with me, and see what happened." Lucas walked in to his house and laughed. He sat down and looked at the clock; the time was 12:01AM. "I'm 18, I own this house, and I'm rich." He thought to himself, "I'm going to go invent something…"
