My Life in the Future It was the first day that we had to go back to the educational lock up facility. The good thing is that this is my last year here! This place is like military school, but worse. They have programmed the pens and computers to shock you if you don’t spell or write a word corectly. OUCH! CORRECTLY! SORRY! If you don’t shower fast enough the shower will send an electric charge through the water stream shocking you until you finish your shower or turn it off. We stay in cabins, and we also have a curfew of eight o’clock and if you aren’t in your cabin in time, the door will lock with you in or out of the cabin. There’s more I would tell you but they will take me to the beating room. Which is insanely pointless because first, they order a flying jail cell; I find this stupid. They cost a million dollars!? Which now, is like, spitting at a hobo because we a had a change of currency. So after ordering this insanely pricey cell, they will throw me in and ship in the floating car that will pull 100 hundred of us all chained together, where I’m positive I’ll run into Jack, the schools mentally handicap tough guy. The only reason he is close to being here is because he can’t feel physical pain, which is bad for us because we tease him and he freaks out and will beat us to a pulp. Then there’s this gay guy, that’s named Eddie, which always come and helps Jack get over mental problems. Then Eddie will go and start asking why we picked on Jack, and that just makes us angry so we end up in a fight with him too. So once at there, the guard, Jos'e, will lead us to this metal room, where no one can get in or out without a key. Then we will hear the screams of cry baby James, as we know him. Then one by one, we will be let into the room, where we will meet our very abusive beater, Ryan. Where we shall be beaten until we lose all consciousness and even when we are out, he will hit us until our whole is blue and black. From there we will be drag back into a cell and wait until all 100 cell are filled. Then the next we go to school and repeat the pattern.

Dear Dairy,

The past few days having been painful long and boring. The news is always worse than the last. The other day the ship went down and with it went my favorite wig which I have named Phyllis. It was almost beautiful the way she floated in the water as she fallowed the ship to their icy grave. But even worse news is all of the food is gone and I think John is starting to look pretty good! I need to go because he is coming

Until next time Juan
