Life on Zen My name is Jake and I have been living on this spinning ball called Zen for the past 18 years and I have seen many things happen. Such as which people disappear. I do not know if that’s weird or not since nobody really seems to notice it or even talk about it except for my neighbours, The Brysons. Like last time when their brother went missing at the age of nineteen they made such a fuss. Actually now I think of it, all of the people that went missing were nineteen. And everyone who is still alive is either 18 or below. But does that mean I’m gonna go missing? I’m turning 19 tomorrow! One day later…. “Today is the day. I will be able to find out what happened to all the nineteen year olds. Just then Jimmy Robertson walked by me.” ‘Oh hey Ji….,’ I said. He pounced…… “Where am I?” I asked. “You’ve just fallen into my trap,” said Jimmy. “What the… Who are all these people Jim?” “THE ZEN GODS HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF ADULTS!” screamed Jimmy How do you even know if the Zen Gods are real? It’s just a myth, I had said. “I have seen them before. They talked to me” said Jimmy. “Now you are going to die”. AAH. I screamed I broke free of my shackles and started running. I tripped and I blacked out. A demon looking pig appeared with Jim. “You didn’t believe me. You thought I was a myth. Now you shall die for this” said the pig. My shackles were now a hard purple blob. “You will never escape those dark energon sticks” said the demon pig. I found a flaming blue sword right in my area of reach and I attacked. I managed to put a blow to them hard enough to knock them out. I also used it to destroy my hand holders. I was finally free! I escaped their large man cave and took a speaker and told everyone. I am not going to lie. My planet is pretty small. Everyone started panicking but I had a plan. We had a neighboring planet called Earth and it was big enough to support life. So I went straight to the nearest space station controller and luckily no one was working there. So I managed to control the space station to come back down onto Zen. I called a meeting and told everyone to get in the space station. Luckily it was easy since everyone was panicked and had no choice. 2 years later…. Captain’s log: My crew and I are near death food is scarce and we’re not even close to reaching Earth. I have an escape pod that can surely get to Earth in a few hours but it can only take one person. I have to do this it’s the only way of our race’s survival. “I’m sorry for taking you guys on this journey with me. Goodbye.” 3 days later…. I am on earth and there is no human species here. There are only these robotic animal life-forms. Aah. I got attacked. I blacked out. The demon pig had captured me once again. “You thought you could hide from me with these beasts on another planet” said the pig. “You say beast like it’s a bad thing” said one of the robotic life forms. “You can talk?” I asked “Of course I can. My name is Primal” said the robot. “Enough of the small talk. Die you pesky brat” said the pig “When are we taking this guy out already boss?” said another one. “We won’t. He could be useful” Said Primal Wait. What? AAAAH. I screamed. “What he’s the bad guy. I am the good guy. Kill him” I said. I broke free once again and this time Primal was on my side at least. And he was fast. I managed to get away from the pig but Primal dropped me off and went to finish the job. I heard a loud scream in the nearby forest. He was dead at long last. Epilogue I have finally found civilization on earth and it is wonderful here. But whenever I sleep I still have dreams about that horrible, ugly face of the pig-man.
