Nothing could stop me. Even a train going 1000 miles per hour could not and would not stop me. My name is Charles goldman and I'm and 16 year old teenager. Let me tell you my story which is full of pain, death, love, anger and most of all, fighting for peace. I stopped in a small parking lot and sealed myself inside with you. Now let me tell you my story.

Several months earlier...

"SCHOOL! YOUR LATE!" A voice cased over me as I tried to roll out of bed. It was 8:00 and I was very late.

"Coming!" I moaned as I got my shoes on. I ran downstairs and there was my mom who always nagged me about making myself a bright future. I loved her of course, but she made my life so hard.

"Where have you been? It's 8:00! And today is your finals! Now hurry!" Mom yelled. "Yes mom..." I said

As I was leaving she said 1 more thing as the door opened. "Why can't you be like your father! He gets up at 3:00 every morning!" she said

I pushed the door open and I sighed and left.

At school

"Horrible, frightening and most of all disappointing!" My teacher shouted. "F after F after FREKING F! FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL!" He said this only to my face.

I felt embarrassed in front of the girl I had a major crush on. Ashley hill. She sat busily on her work.

"Heh! Get a load of that kid!" A bully laughed. Then the bell rang. Before I left Mr. Creekwood yelled, "Mr. Goldman! Come forth!" After a two hour lecture I left to my locker when a note fell into my locker. I unfolded it and it said "now your journey will begin."

I thought about the note and tossed it thinking it was a joke.

At home...

I opened the door to my house and saw nothing, but darkness. "hello!" I called. No answer. Then when I walked in there were my parents lying on the couch with furniture spread all over the floor then mom said one thing "Find a cure to this sickness..." And dropped a note which she was tightly holding. I picked it up and gasped.

Off in the corner of the note it read now your journey will begin and it also said find the ten jewels of sakfeas which are ruins of ancient riches which is said to hold tremendous power and with that power destruction. But I never believed they were real. Then it gave 10 locations across the world.

Finally it read everyone has 1 year to live! That began my journey.
