Chapter 1: The world is full of broken hearts and people.
The world is full of broken hearts and people.
Miracles, drugs, faith, cripples, and broken hearts end people together. As for Mikey Bellsong,his medication is a bottle of whisky and sunshine. Though you don't get much of a helping hand in California-and-not too much whisky either. So lights in August get chilly and more people havingmerry parties. So here is Mikey's story of adventure. Mikey stood up silently from the cardboardbox he had be sleeping on for years. "I really got to get a new box," he murmured. As he carefully steppedover his friends sleeping body, he walked down the ally. He looked at the announcement T.V in the middle two-wayintersection. There appeared Dr.Bern.

"I have made the foundation of human survival more efficient and more powerful than ANYTHING these days.We have made ourselves even greater then we could ever imagine. Something we could now even begin to glimpse," the T.V announced with the pictureof Dr.Bern.People glaring at him and yelling happily.

"Pure bull!" yelled Mikey. People started to stare at him. The police came rushing at us into the isle. "COMBINE!!" yelled Mikey. Out of now-where people began brushing them-selves into life and running. "Get the hell out of here!!" People were stampeding out of the ally and tripping over themselves. People getting tramped on. As Mikey was running he was elbowed in the stomach hard. He fell onto the ground and someone kicked his face. He fell unconscious.

When he woke up again- he was in a building. The old train station. There he saw Rob. He tried to get up but the combine kicked in the stomach hard. He fell back down. The was one soldier at the announcement microphone. "MIKEY BELLSONG!"he yelled in this raspy voice. The combine grabbed him by the shirt
and pulled him up. They lead him into a solid confined half-way. There in the door he passed, was a gate hole. He glimpsed inside and inside was Rob. "I don't get it! I have a standard re-location. And a
wife!" said Rob. The combine came up to the door and shut the gate hole. "No, no!" Mikey heard Rob yell.
Mikey tried to get free, but was only hit down and beat up. When the beating was finally finished Mikey didn'thave enough strength to walk himself. So instead the combine dragged him to the end of the hall-way. Mikey saw blood-stained tiles, and rats eating what looked like a finger. Mikey felt sick and gagged.

Finally, they reached the end of the hall-way. He was put into the same looking room. The door also had a gate hole, but now there was onlyone combine. The other combine left and locked the door."Who are you," asked the combine. "Why should I tell you-youkilling robotic crap?" replied Mikey. The combine ignored the first part, but was interested in the second part. He came closer to Mikey and started unclip his helmet. There was smoke and hissing sounds coming out. His face was black and he had a buzz-cut for his hair. He had one scar reaching on his eye from the top of his left eye to the bottom. His left eye was completely white. The man went crazy and took out an army knife. He was about to stab Mikey, when Mikeythought quickly and kicked the combine in the nuts as hardas he could. The combine screamed and dropped the knife on Mikey's lap.

Quickly again, Mikey kicked the combine in theface, and down the combine went bleeding. Mikey used the knife as carefully as he could to cut the bands on his hands. When hefinished cutting the first band, a knock at the door, messed himup. Startled, he cut him-self, only missing the main vain on the hand.With a short and curse-full, scream, the combine at the door wassatisfied. Though the combine at the door thought Mikey was beingtortured, Mikey was trying to get loose. Finally, he cut the second band, and stood up. He had to find a way to get out of there. After, minutes passedit felt like a generation for him. Though he saw this like brick that looked out of place.

He stepped over the combines body, when all of a sudden the combine grabbed his leg and pulled. Mikey flew down and was threemillimeters close to stabbing himself. The guard tried to punch Mikey, but ended up punching himself. Mikey gave enough strength to get upquickly. The guard was dead--hopefully. Mikey started for the brick again but again there was a knock at the door. Mikey cursed
and of course didn't answer. He looked at the brick and tried
to pull on it --nothing happened. Then he pushed it.........

THE REST IS TO BE CONTINUED
