Today was a normal day. Death, destruction, and peril. Like any normal day but I couldn't ignore the fact that I hear a buzzing in my head. Where did this come from, was it from guns, or was it from the leaking Uranium in our neighbors house? (Wasn't too sure how he got it.) Whatever it is, it's been growing louder and louder each day. Some kids can hear this buzz, but not for the adults. Why can we hear it but they can't? I was walking with my friend Gerald

"Gerald, we need to discuss something" I mumbled.

"What do you need?" His voice was rather stuffy due to his nasal cavity caving in as his house caved in on him. He's a tough cookie, funny though because he's the wimpiest kid I know.

"You do hear the buzzing, right?" I questioned with more confidence.

"Yes, why?" Like that, I breath out a sigh, relieved to know this civil war thing didn't get to me.

"It's been growing louder, and the hills of Apricot Hills has been growing everyday. Am I going crazy?"

"No! In fact I'm noticing this too, what do you think it is?"

"Insanity" I speak with a smirk on my face

"Haha, you're funny" Gerald said in a sarcastic tone. " What I think is the government trying to spy on us."

"PSSH, They are the nicest people I know"

"Not exactly, I read that some groups spy on us"

Well fine then! If Gerald thinks that hill is some kind of base then I'll give him props!

"Fine, I'll explore you little nerd cave"

"LAB" He yelled. "WHATEVER" I said back in an equally loud voice, as i walk looking like I'm brainwashed, which seemed to anger him more.

The next day, from dawn 'till dusk, I was wondering if Gerald was true. What if a secret operation was in order to spy on us, use some kind of laser thing to project some kind of buzzing to make us insane, then record our actions? The thought of that sends me shivers down my spine. Later though, What made me MORE frightened was that he was right.

(Stay tuned for Chapter 4!)

(Update : I'm not going to be doing another 2 chapters until Tuesday!)
