My name is Toby Miller, I live in Minden, Louisisana, and I attend Stewart Elementary. I am in 4th grade, and I have lived a fairly average life so far. There are rumours of some kind of cult, led by a monster in town currently, but I don't believe that stuff. So, as I was walking to school I noticed some men wearing green masks, they were pretty wierd, and the freaky part is I could've sworn one of them had a gun, but I must have just been imagining it. When I got to school I saw my teacher Ms Smith examining some graffiti that some kids must have put on the building overnight. Toby: "What happened?" Ms Smith looked at me, and then stepped aside to show me what the graffiti said. It was a picture of a large circular head, painted green, the some antenna like ears, and directly next to the face their was a message: "It is love, It is life, Praise Shrek!" Toby: "What?!" Ms Smith: "Stupid kids, they should know better than to tag a school" I walked with Ms Smith to my classroom. Today we were going to learn some more about the history of Louisiana.
As the history lesson went on, I got sleepier, and sleepier, until finally I just dozed off with my face against my desk. I woke up to the sound of a loud bang. I jumped up from my desk, surprised, I quickly look around to see the source of the sound, what I saw shocked me. I saw my teacher, Ms Smith, on the ground with a bullet hole in her head. The whiteboard was spattered with blood and small chunks of her brain. I began to panick, I turned around for the door to run and I ran directly into a man in a green mask... carrying a gun. The man punched me in the gut, and threw me to the ground, he shut the classroom door to prevent me and my classmates from excaping. The room was filled with the screaming and crying of my friends.
The man with the green mask screamed at the top of his lungs: "ALL OF YOU STOP SCREAMING AND LISTEN UP! OR ELSE I PUT A BULLET IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S HEAD!" The screaming all stopped, except for the rather loud crying of my friend Alex. The man in the green mask walked up directly to Alex, and placed the gun against his head. Masked Man: Listen up kids, if I don't have enough quiet to give my speech, then people are going to die... PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE!" Upon screaming people are going to die the second time, the man shot Alex in the head. Some of Alex's blood sprayed on me. I almost fainted, and I felt like I was going to cry, but using pure willpower I fought back a reaction to save my life, and possibly the lifes of others.
The man walked up to the front of the class and began to speak: "Listen up, my lord and savior has chosen YOU (Points to the children filling the classroom) to be candidates for his next group of followers, THIS IS A BLESSING! But you all must understand their are some things that are to be understood, if you do not join him, you will die, if you resist him in ANY way, you will die, if you do not fully put his life in front of yours, you will die, you MUST commit to him, always, and forever. The thing I am about to do will require you to all sit very still, I am going to do something which will make sure that you do not betray your new lord and savior." The man put a large burlap sack on the ground, he opened it and revealed what seemed to be small jars full of some kind of purplish brownish fluid. The man walked up to the girl sitting next to me. Masked Man: "(Holding one of the jars) I am going to need you to drink about half of this" The man forced her mouth open and began pouring some of the fluid into her mouth, she coughed and sputtered around for a little bit, but when he was done pouring it into her mouth, she sat up straight, with an emotionless and thoughtless look on her face. The man went around the room, feeding people the odd fluid one by one. It was wierd, every time someone drank the fluid, they got this look on their face, and this stance, almost like they lost track of who they were.
The man finally walked up to me and two other kids who did not drink the fluid yet. The man stuck some of his fingers into my mouth to hold it open, and then he got out a jar of the odd fluid with his free hand, and began to pour it down my throat, as the fluid entered my body, images began flashing in my mind, grand new beliefs. I saw my new lord and savior, his name is Shrek, and I am prepared to die for his cause.
