Anita's Story

Anita's Story

Sixteen year old Anita Knight heard her name being announced over the loudspeaker.

"Now representing England in the uneven bars is Anita Knight!"

Anita was feeling very confident. Who cares if this was the World Olympics? She had sports down to a fine art. She had won First Place in the snowboarding competition some nine months prior.

Anita was going through her routine. She ended her routine to tumultuous applause. A perfect score flashed on screen and Anita beamed. She was taking a long refreshing drink from her water bottle when a man approached her. Why was he walking over to her?

"Excuse me," came the man's voice. Anita noticed that this man who was sporting a moustache was a fellow Englander.

"Can I help you?" Anita asked.

"For reasons of security my name is changed daily. Today you may call me…" he pulled out his gizmo from his top breast pocket and pressed a button. Groaning, he said, "Cutesy Bubsy".

Anita could help but giggle.

"Sorry about that, Cutesy Bubsy."

"I saw your routine and it was amazing. Now, I am the head of UZZ, which is a secret organization. Now what do you think of comics and computer games?"

Anita had to be honest. She told Cutesy Bubsy that she hadn't played a game nor read a comic and had no intention to.

"Well, our agents tend be fans of either or both things but I think you have potential, Miss Knight. How would you like to work for UZZ?"

Anita loved excitement and adventure so she accepted the offer. Three days later Anita left her house.
