Sci Fi Magazine - Dystopian Edition

E N I Z A G A M I F SCI DYSTOPIAN EDITION

GRADE 7 - 2023

welcome to a new world.

In this ELA project, students were challenged to write a dystopic narrative piece to produce a sci-fi magazine.

Narratives are a powerful tool for teaching life skills and critical thinking. They allow readers to explore different perspectives and experiences, and can inspire reflection on one's own actions and decisions. Science fiction and dystopian stories, in particular, can teach us about responsibility and the importance of taking action to prevent negative outcomes.

These genres often depict worlds that are very different from our own, where technology or societal structures have taken a dark turn. By writing their own dystopian narratives, students were able to flex their creative muscles and explore their own ideas for how our world could change for the worse. Through the process of writing, they were able to develop their storytelling skills and think deeply about the consequences of the choices they made for their fictional worlds.

welcome to a new world.

It is important to recognize that in the process of writing, students may make mistakes or encounter areas where they can improve. While it is essential to provide guidance and corrections to support their development, it is equally important to remember that these mistakes are part of the learning process and shouldn't be all erased. Each student is on their unique journey, and it is essential to respect their process and encourage them to continue to improve.

The dystopian narrative pieces created by the students in this project offer a fascinating glimpse into the possible futures of our world. So, we invite you to read their stories and be inspired by their bravery in imagining a future that is not always rosy.

As we move forward, let us be as brave as these students were in confronting the challenges of the future. By doing so, we can work towards building a better world for ourselves and future generations.

bem-vindo a um novo mundo.

Neste projeto de Inglês, os alunos foram desafiados a escrever uma narrativa distópica para uma revista de ficção científica. As narrativas são uma ferramenta poderosa para ensinar habilidades para a vida e pensamento crítico. Eles permitem que os leitores explorem diferentes perspectivas e experiências e podem inspirar a reflexão sobre suas próprias ações e decisões. Ficção científica e histórias distópicas, em particular, podem nos ensinar sobre responsabilidade e a importância de agir para evitar resultados negativos.

Esses gêneros geralmente retratam mundos muito diferentes do nosso, onde a tecnologia ou as estruturas sociais deram uma guinada sombria. Ao escrever suas próprias narrativas distópicas, os alunos foram capazes de exercitar seus músculos criativos e explorar suas próprias ideias de como nosso mundo poderia mudar para pior.

Através do processo de escrita, eles foram capazes de desenvolver suas habilidades de contar histórias e pensar profundamente sobre as consequências das escolhas que fizeram para seus mundos ficcionais.

bem-vindo a um novo mundo. É importante reconhecer que, no processo de redação, os alunos podem cometer erros ou encontrar áreas em que podem melhorar. Embora seja essencial fornecer orientações e correções para apoiar seu desenvolvimento, é igualmente importante lembrar que esses erros fazem parte do processo de aprendizado e não devem ser totalmente apagados. Cada aluno está em sua jornada única e é essencial respeitar seu processo e incentivá-lo a continuar melhorando.

As peças narrativas distópicas criadas pelos alunos neste projeto oferecem um vislumbre fascinante dos futuros possíveis do nosso mundo. Por isso, convidamos você a ler suas histórias e se inspirar em sua bravura em imaginar um futuro que nem sempre é cor de rosa. À medida que avançamos, sejamos tão corajosos quanto esses alunos foram ao enfrentar os desafios do futuro. Assim, podemos trabalhar para construir um mundo melhor para nós e para as gerações futuras.

THE EXECUTION OF THE POPULATION

By Ana Julia Azevedo

I’m James, until some time ago I was just an ordinary boy that was taking a computer science course in 2073. On a normal Saturday, my family and I decided to watch something on TV. When we turned on, I saw the worst news that I had seen in my whole life. The robots started to get out of control.

My family and I came to our emergency room inside the mirror because the mirror was just a door. I still remember how desperate I was like I am right now.

Right now I am still in the emergency room with my sister Lily. My parents got out to search for food. I don’t remember how many days we have been here, but I’m trying to get a signal to see the news. I already tried a lot of time but I still couldn’t get it. After trying many different ways, I could get signal and my cellphone is finally working! I quickly opened the news and I took back what I had said. Right now, I got the worst news of my life: the robots are not going crazy, the government that told them what to do!

I am still watching the news when ( I again take back what I said ) I got the worst news of my life, my parents are dead.

I am still crying, I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t tell Lily yet. I’m not brave enough to tell her, I’m going to tell her when everything finishes and I know that this is going to end, because I’m going to do things to go back to normal again. I’m trying to get into the government system to make the robots stop.

I am trying to make them stop and I am almost getting it. I am probably more than 3 hours trying to get into the system and I’m almost there! But then I heard a noise. The alarm from my house started beeping. I saw on the security cameras and I saw them. I saw the robots. I don’t even care about myself anymore, I just care about Lily. I could hide her and I’m trying to hide myself, when suddenly all simply got black. Then I realized, I died like my parents and I left Lily alone forever.

The cure

by André Leite I was going to school in the morning, walking a bit faster than usual, because that day I wanted to avoid some of the colleagues of my class that came too. I was impatient at that time, so I didn't want to be involved in any fights. But unfortunately, they appeared. They were with the brand new model of flying boards that had just come out 1 day before. They used to bully me because I didn't even have one. Not even the oldest versions. My mother couldn’t pay for it, we lived alone.

“Jacob!” The group of bully’s of my school screamed - “still walking to school?” He said coming closer in his flying board, along with his friends.

“Look, Buggs, I don’t want any confusion.” I said.

“Hah! Jacob, always quiet, I don't know why a worm like you is allowed in our school.”

His friends laughed. I didn’t answer the provocation and ignored it, and then I continued walking. They stayed behind me, whispering, thinking I wouldn’t listen that it was about me.

I lived in a group of poor people, in a poor community, and they were rich and spoiled, while I needed to work to help my mother.

In the middle of the way from the school, I heard someone asking for help, almost whispering, very quietly. So I went there to check it. He was from my community, but I didn't know much about who he was. I only knew that he had been expelled from there. “Help”, he said. It looked like he was suffering - “ Son”, he said, - “There is a virus spreading out there.

Please tell the community to look out. It’s very dangerous.”

I didn’t know much about him, but I knew he was a lier and that I couldn’t trust people outside of my community, so I decided to ignore him.

The day passed normally and I had even forgotten what had happened. However on the next day: “Mom!” - “What happened to you mom?! Are you okay?!”

“Jacob my son, don’t worry, I’m sick, but it will pass.” - she said coughing. “There is an illness out there spreading fast.”

“Is it dangerous?!” I asked “I don't know,” she answered - “There is a cure, but it's very expensive and our community can’t afford it, some people here are already infected too.”

I couldn’t believe the guy I had ignored was telling the truth. Only if I had believed him! But now, this problem was mine, and I, myself, was determined to get that cure the way I could!

After my mother got a little better, I started to think of a plan. Firstly, I needed to know where to get this cure, and I had an idea, because there was a company near the community that would most likely have what he was looking for; the cure. So I had the plan ready; I needed to enter the back part of the company and try to get to the manufacturing room, and from there, I could access a room that contains the stock of items that the company sells, and get the cure! Yes, a good plan I’d say. So it was time to put it into practice! When I arrived there, I saw a lot of guards on the front, so I went to the back. The protection wall wasn’t that big, and I think I could jump it. I tried, and I could do it, without anyone seeing it, now the hardest part; getting inside. I would need someone to open the door so I could pass it.

It was locked. I needed to wait for someone to unlock it. I waited some time, and finally, someone came. It was a cleaner, by the clothes and things he was bringing. So, when he opened the door, I waited for him to enter, so I could enter right after. I could do it! But when I looked, he was looking right into my eyes. “What are you doing here, kid?!?” - “You shouldn’t be here, get out before someone sees you!” He said.

“No!” I said - “I need to find a cure for this new disease! My family and community are infected!”

“I understand, but if you open this door, there will be a lot of people there inside, and you will be gotten and it will be worse.” He said. I heard step noises coming to the room.

“Hide!” He shout not very loudly. I did so. There were some shelves and boxes in that room, so I got into a cardboard box and couldn’t see anything.

BLAMMN! I heard the sound of someone opening the door strongly and angrily.

“Thomas!” - “Who were you talking to, Thomas?”

“Boss!?” - “I wasn’t talking to anyone! I was just cleaning this room!”

“Haven’t you already cleaned this room today?”

“No, boss, I think you are confused, I cleaned the other storage room!”

“Okay, so is it okay if I get some cardboard boxes here?!”

“Yes, sure boss. Do what you want”. Then, he extended his arms and got 1 box next to me! “Hmm, I’ll take this”, said Thomas’s boss.

“Right, boss.” Said Thomas. Then he said I could get out of the box.

“Oof,” I murmured. “That was hot and stuffy.” - “And dark”. - I said. “Why did you help me?” I asked Thomas.

“Because I understand how it is seeing a family member suffer,” he said. I talked to Thomas, and asked if he could help me on my mission to get the cure. He said he couldn’t come with me, but he could tell me where the cure was.

“It’s after music production class. You’ll see a door next to the orange box. But you need to be furtive, because there’s a lot of people in the cure’s room.” He said. Then, I left the room in the direction of the cure’s room. I was fast and silent, nobody seemed to see me when I could get to the door. So, when I arrived, the door was made out of glass, so I could see that there were two people talking. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but I just waited for them to get out. After a short period of time, they left, and I entered the room. There were a lot of bottles, and I got one. It was all going like I had planned. I left the room, and went to the first room I was talking to Thomas. However, there was someone there, and he saw me.

“Who are you?! What are you doing here?!” The guy was angry and anxious.

“Guards!” He called on his radio. A red light started flickering. I ran out of that room, and could get to the outside of the factory. On the outside, there were a lot of guards, and I needed to jump the wall to get out. It was already night, and a bit dark. Furtively, I jumped the wall, and when I was already outside someone saw me. It came running to me. It was Thomas.

“Run! You have no time!” I ran as fast as I could until I got back to the community.

“Mom?! Where 's mom? I know how to save her!” I screamed.

“Jacob, I'm so sorry but…”

“No!” Take me to her!” When I got to her, she was pretty bad.

“Mom! What happened!” I was screaming.

“Jacob, darling, go save the other infected. I have no way anymore.” Mom said. Then she passed out.

“No, no! I’m not taking that!” Then some people from the community came in, and took me back.

“Sorry Jacob, we couldn’t do anything.” I gave them the cure to save the others, and cried for a week.

“Why my mother? Why?” Everyone got saved, but unfortunately, not the person I meant to save.

THE META PARADISE

BY ANTONIO DE LIMA

November 7th, 2030; the day that VR Glasses were used by everybody in the US. These glasses introduced to them a new world, witch's called “Metaverse World”. Today is November 7th, 2050, the day of the celebration of 20 years from the Metaverse world, nobody wants to stop using the VR Glasses, besides a boy, called Antony.

Antony is an ordinary person, such as everybody else, he works by hacking and programming his own games, but he has something special, he wants to explore the outside world, and he can’t, since the day that the Metaverse world completed one year, the “Logout” option went down anonymously, being deactivated forever.

Antony had just woken up, it was 6:00 AM, he opened his news app, but he was shocked and frightened, because the day was the 20th anniversary of the Metaverse world, but it had a counter, with the number 1.000, describing “people dead”, he started to read more and more about it, until he saw “Those people were infected and died by the #Y..-_/@!”, he knew what it was. When he saw that, he automatically sent a message to his group of friends. The first person to answer him was Abraham, his best friend. He wrote “Are you kidding me? It is fake news! I just saw the news.”, Antony started to question himself, he opened his app again to be sure, he opened the app and saw “1.032 people dead”. He blinked and now it was at 1.033, he thought “What is happening? May I research about it? I will just forget that and enjoy the anniversary.” Antony ate his breakfast and went outside, nobody was preoccupied, it was the contrary, everybody was happy.

“No! That’s not possible!” Antony started to get worried by the citizens, he went to his house and started to search about it, but there were no results. So he started going to the park, because it was a holiday. When he went there, he felt… dizzy, but the boy started to eat thinking that it could stop the dizziness, but the food was terrible, he thought that he was confused, that’s why he felt that. Antony went back to his house and started to sleep, but when he woke up, he saw a blue and red screen moving, it was an undefined app popping up.

Antony thought it was a dream, but he could perceive that in each screen was written “#Y..-_/@!”, and also a huge warning, his vision started to get colorless, there was another screen with a woman resetting a mysterious “status”, his eyes started to get hurt until he fainted. Until he miraculously woke up, the boy lost the pain in his eyes. He had stood up and the first thing he did was finding his friend.

He started to run, run and run; in the middle of the run, he noticed a colored figure with red, green and blue colors from head to feet, without eyes, mouth, hair, ears, or even shirts, only colors. He tried to move himself, but he was frozen, the figure was approximating him, but it had disappeared.

Finally, finishing that desperate run, the boy went to his friend’s house, he opened the door and he froze again, he saw the last seen figure, holding a blue and white thing and removing it from the lied down boy. Frozen, without strength for moving himself, he heard a voice.

“Hello Antony! What happened to you? Are you ok?” He looked to the left and saw Abraham’s mom “Don’t you see it?” “ See what?” She answered questioning “Abraham is dead. Your son was infected” The woman, frightened, looked at him, with a suspicious look “Infected? Can you explain it better?” “Please hear me ma’am, maybe I am infected and I can see a colored silhouetto, which can kill people. This is the virus, you can’t see it because he isn’t infected! But I saw the silhouetto two times, he, I think he…” Antony took a deep breath “He died.” Antony started to cry “No, no, no NO! That isn’t possible!”

Abraham’s mom also cried, she saw her unconscient son.

*** Antony, highly sad, took his snack and though on something, he wanted revenge. He thought that the government would knew something about it, so he hacked the government app, knowing it wasn’t llegal; Antony knew that there were computing language, Antony could read it. When the boy started hacking, he couldn’t believe in what he saw: “Killer - #Y..-_/@! = R” he erased it and rewrote “Killer - #Y..-_/@! = F”, he automatically opened his news app and it didn’t appeared the counter anymore, but he knew he wouldn’t be ok with this hacking experience.

His phone rang, it was an unknown number, he accepted the call and he heard a happy and sweet voice “Abraham! He is alive!” He replied “M-Ma-Ma’am? Are you Abraham’s mom?” “Yes!” She called her son “hey Antony, what happened?” “It depends” Antony continued “Did you see a colored silhouetto before you wake up?” “Yes, the last thing I saw was a blue and white thing getting out from me and-” Abraham was interrupted by Antony “You got the virus, the one I told you earlier…” “Oh…” Abraham couldn’t answer him. Later they chatted some more.

At this moment, it was night, and Antony ate his dinner, after that, he thought “What if I hack again? What if I found a logout command?” He opened the government app and started to look for it, but it was so difficult that he could find it at all; his journey hadn’t finished and he continued until it was 1:00 AM. He finally found the logout command, the boy changed it and could finally do whatever he wanted, he saw the real world for the first time.

He just saw black, he opened his eyes and he saw his glasses falling; the boy looked to the right and finally noticed that he was in an abandoned house. He saw his mom’s picture on the wall, with a lot of dust. He searched for the door, when he found it, he noticed that it was different from the ones he saw at his life.

When he opened it, he saw a nightmare; it was on daytime and he saw people dead, with their VR Glasses. Apparently he saw a man dead, without the glasses, but… with a document. Antony took it, the strange written document covered in blood had the symbols of S.W.A.T and F.B.I “I’ve heard of that once!” he whispered.

The boy heard strong steps, nervously, he looked forward and saw red eyes, like lasers, he looked up and saw a helicopter, he took the paper again, he rapidly tried to look for something he could read, until he could read “Robots are killing us”.

The X036L1V-3R virus

by Bernardo Nascimento In a very distant future there is a perfect city with perfect technology. One day there was a crazy guy called Oliver that hated technology. He is trying to convince people that technology is bad. One, he was writing on his diary: Dear diary, today is the day of my rebellion. The virus that I created to turn robots evil will work, this is my last writting here, bye.

So a kid called Miguel was walking on the street when he found someone dead with metal in his body. He got scared, so he calles his friends Helena, Vitor and Leonardo to investigate. They found a robot with a mark on its body that was “X036L1V-3R”. The robot saw them and tried to hug them to death.

They ran away thinking what was this mark. So they hid and saw the robot stepping on water and turning off. They found a pendrive on the robot that changed the robot from evil to good.

They took the pendrive and ran to a club to discover the mark: -X036L1V-3R, let’s think, said Miguel.

After a long time they said: -”0L1V3R”.

So they ran to his house, put the pendrive on the virus and when it was charging on 99%, Oliver came and killed Leonardo with a knife.

Before dying, he clicked on the pause button, so a robot hugged them and then they almost died. Leonardo woke up and when Oliver was almost killing him again, he stumbled and threw the knife and it got on the play button on the computer and the robots stopped killing people and the police arrested Oliver and now all the kids are afraid of the outside world and it's bad people and just stay at home.

But ,at the door, there was a message that said that a robot got his job. Max knows that his job was the last in tokyo. MAx got very confused because the robots were appearing around the world.

And, 2 years later, robots dominated the world. Robots started to make things strange, the companies that created the robots didn't know what was happening: the pets started to attack their own owners.

After some weeks, robots started to destroy things, and then Max noticed that robots could kill people. Nasa was planning to build a rocket for people to go to the moon, but that was going to take a lot of time to create every single rocket in the world.

So the FBI later decided that in each part of the city people would organize themselves in colonies and in these colonies there will be FBI guards around to see if there is any kind of threat or if there is anyone lost, and also 6 times a month everyone organizes to get food. And that was the new rule until the rockets arrived.

The colony of Max was not the best because the majority of people in the colony wanted everything; they stole food and they were always annoying whenever the colony had to do something, they just got in the way and didn't do the things they were supposed to do, and whenever that happened it took longer and longer for people to finish what they wanted to do or the soldiers kept scolding so this was a big problem in Max's colony.

1 year passed and some people died because either they didn't follow the rules or because they died of robot attacks. Nasa announced that the rockets were finished but not all that Nasa had to build was ready. Max's city was one of the biggest they had and it was one of the messiest ones. NASA decided they were going to take some rockets to Max's city, the colony of Max started getting organized to go to the rocket, some people were already crazy because they couldn't believe that this moment was going to come, the time they would enter the rockets was at 10:00.

It was daylight so it was easier to prepare and have quite ready to go to the rocket. When they went to the rocket people started screaming and some people called the robot's attention, the robots started to run towards the clone of Max. Everyone was in a panic and they didn't know what to do. Everyone started to get into the rocket, until Max had the idea of ​going back to his colony, from there he could see the disaster happening, people being attacked by robots. Max became prepared, took a lot of food and water and hid in a bathroom, there he could take care of himself and do his needs.

2 weeks later Max was already tired of staying inside the bathroom, he always felt that some robot was inside to attack him so he never left there, until one hour he hears gunshots. Max imagines that the FBI came to see if there was anyone out there and eliminate the robots in that area.

When the police approached they broke down door by door and searched everything they came across until they found Max and almost killed him because they thought he was a robot, a moment later Max explained what had happened and the police took him away to another colony so that Max is safe.

When Max arrived at the colony he didn't think it was so bad. He made friends with everyone and there he thought nothing bad could happen because it was safer there, nobody stole food from anyone and everyone was friends, Max couldn't believe he finally made it out safe from there, Max told everyone what had happened to him and everyone else.

Max was having a lot of fun there he was enjoying it a lot but he couldn't find the time to get the rocket and he and his colony go to the moon and try to live happily again. One time of day the soldiers around notice things in their guts and notice that they can have some robo attack at any time they could attack his colony, until they start to arrive the soldiers start shooting and luckily they manage to stop the robots but always the soldiers have to be careful.

1 week later the soldiers got the big news that more rockets were going to Max's country. They repaired themselves and organized their things until the rocket arrived, this time Max's colony had a plan. The plan was that soldiers would stay around the rocket and neatly people would get into the rocket and be safe and sound.

When the rocket arrived everyone was as silent as they could to try their best not to draw the attention of any robots. Luckily everyone managed to get in to the soldiers and Max after that didn't believe this was happening, Max thought the rocket was very big and comfortable and with that he and his colony were very happy.

There were already houses set up there on the moon and some groups separated to enter the moon houses and in the end Max was safe and sound.

THE REVOLUTION

by Enrico Zuccolotto

On 04/18/2103, in New York City, there was a boy named John. It was a rainy day.

John was watching the news.

When he heard an explosion outside from his apartment it was a robot company.

There were many rumors about a bomb, a robot had exploded on social media.

The police were made of robots that had guns capable of instantly killing someone.

The owner of this company was forced to tell the motive of his explosion and the owner said: “It was a long story, 3 years ago I had an idea to create robots to substitute humans in jobs. But I was scared if robots had a rebellion and to kill everybody, so, I decided to put an auto destroy mode or shoot their heads to stop them!

“Yesterday I needed to activate the auto destroy mode in one of them.”

On 04/18/2103, there was a mysterious case of an explosion in a robot company.”

Click, John has turned off the TV and he looked through his window and he was shocked because there were 6 dead people in front of that company.

John asked himself what the hell this company has? Right after that he quickly took his phone and called the FBI to investigate this case. When the FBI arrived at the robot company, there had been a strange sound inside a big gate of heavy metal.

30 seconds after the strange sound started, the “BOOOOOOOM” gate had been destroyed completely, and an army of robots got out of this destroyed gate.The robots were covered by blood, concluding that those robots had masacrated the people. John inside his apartment he saw that the owner of that company was one of those 6 people that was dead, but it was different, wasn’t in the same way, there was a gun on his hand and it seemed like a bullet he had.

So John concluded that it was a suicide.

The robots started to run in the FBI direction and easily kill the FBI robots, besides the FBI was stronger; they couldn’t fight because the number of the FBI robots it’s very small compared to the number of the robot army.

Suddenly “BOOM, BOOM, BOOM” the robots started to destroy completely the group of FBI robots, then the robots entered in the stores and shopping killing one by one until “BOOM” the final explosion happened and destroy New York City.

Another attack from Russia

The last person on Earth

by Felipe Cury Dear diary, I’m the last person alive on earth.

Every thing started in a ordinary day 2 months ago, I was doing my homework when my mom said that she was fealing very sick, she asked me if I could bring her some medicine, I said yes then I left my homework in the table and then I went to the drug store. When I arrived in the drug store, I saw a security drone holding a hologram tv that was showing a advertisement of a medicin, I analyze that advertisement and then a thought that buying that was a good ideaso I asked to the attendant drone one of that medicine. When I was waiting the drone I saw a tv drone.

It was showing the new that were saying abaut a new virus that the chances of dying with it wore 97%. wen they were talking about the symptoms I realized that my mom was with the same symptoms.

When I realized it, I went running to the atendent drone and I robed the medicines from it and then I went running for my home. It looked like every thing was in slow motion, I heard people screaming, cars crashing because the pilot died and the worst one, a peorson that was walking in the other side of the street looking white as snow and then falling in the ground.

When I got home, I saw my mother on the ground holding her phone and the tv was on. I caled her name, I tried to wake her up but nothing.

After giving up I saw that the tv was showing the president and he was looking like my mother, he said that he created the virus because of ultra population and that he spread the virus with that new medicine but now everything is out of control, after saying that he started coughing and then he felt in the ground. After five minutes of that interview, all the noises of cars crashing and people screaming, turned into a huge silence.

THE ROBOT

by João Francisco "Click” the tv turns on “Hey are you tired to have to clean your home every day?

Tati- Yes, I’m tired.

“So, we have the solution for your problem! You can buy a maid robot for just 1000💲,on this address:637 Tati thinks: “Hm, I have this money. I will buy this maid robot very fast!”

She got her car and she typed the address in the gps, but Tati thought that was a very strange place, but she went there anyway.

When Tati got there, She bought the last maid robot, she brought the robot home.

Tati turned the robot on and it started to glitch but Tati thought that was nothing and put the robot to clean her home. (One hour later) Tati heard a strange noise Tati- Oh my god, what is that noise?

She went up the stairs and she saw that the maid robot is fighting with Salem and Salem was hurt. Tati got shocked, there was no time to think. The robot punched her she tried to run, but she couldn’t and she had an idea: she got a water bucket and threw it on the robot. The robot froze. She found a compartment on the back of the head of the robot that makes the robot move. She removed this and went down the stairs, she turned on the Tv and Tati discouverd that it was happening in all the world: many people were dying because of that.

Tati decided that she would help the humanity by killing all of the robots because she knew how to fight, so she can do it.

Tati leave her home and she saw many robots on the street. She thought: “Hm, there are many robots here. I will find another way to leave home.” Tati grabbed the robot’s head and put on hers. Because robots have face sensor. She left home and went to the same address that she bought the robot. The street was infested by robots, but she finally got there in the address 6-3-7.So, she entered there. She saw that all robots were being controlled by the comercial guy. The guy saw her and he said: Guy-hello Tati:I found it weird because there are no robots there.

Tati-I will kill you!

Guy- Hahaha you can try “One gate open” “Puff” “Puff” Tati-OH MY GOD IT IS A REALLY HUGE ROBOT?!?!

“The Guy laughed” Tati jumped on the robot to remove the compartment but the robot get her and…

Game over Try again

Robot attack

by Katherine Limp

It was 08/19/2040, I was 13,when the robot attack happened.

I was in my school, and I loved that place. There was a lake , a lot of nature and the robots teach really well. We were happy , until sometime later, when the teachers start rebelling.

The day started really well. I had breakfast,talked with my little sister and went to school. I was really nervous because the first class was math and I hadn’t done the homework . But,when I got in class, the teacher was not there . I found it strange , because the teachers were programmed to get in class on time , but I just ignored and talked with my friends.

“ Hi guys, did you do the homework?”

“No, and you?” Said Gabriel “Either “ At this moment, the teacher entered the class with a board eraser , and threw it at the head of one of my colleagues , Giulia! Everybody starts screaming and running, because the robots went crazy! They are not programmed to throw things on their students! I was really scared. Then, the robot started running towards me, with a chair in its hand , so I started to panic , I didn’t know what to do, would I die ? He start to get closer and I was really tired to run faster than I was, so I decided to fight.

But I wouldn’t fight alone .

I continued running until I found my friends , Gabriel and Yasmin. I was so happy to see them! But the robot was still running towards me, there was no time to be happy , so we entered in a bathroom and locked the door .

“Guys , we need to fight!” “ We are gonna kill our teacher?” Said Gabriel “ Our teachers “ said Yasmin “ Is it more than one ?! “ me and Gabriel shouted , Yasmin nodded.

“But , if we kill our robot teachers , who is gonna teach?”

“We can, “ I said .

Gabriel and Yasmin were in shock . “ Well , once my dad told me that when he was my age , he had teachers that were people, and I thought that we could have that too. We could teach the little ones when we are not studying and the big ones can teach us “. “ It could work , but how do we kill the robots? “ A time ago, I was doing pending activities with our coordinator and I saw that she had a mechanism in her “ heart “ that no other robot has , maybe that controls all the robots “. “ It is a shot in the dark , but we can try .”

We decided to throw a sharp rock with Gabriel’s slingshot, so Yasmin went to find the rock and Gabriel and I got the slingshot.

After getting everything, we met at the bathroom,and we started walking in the school to find the coordinator. We walked for a long, long time , but suddenly I saw her . I showed Gabriel, he got the slingshot and he aimed at her “heart “. When the rock hit her, I saw all the robots falling on the floor .

They were all broken, and that day was finally over.

From that day on , we changed the world. Now the robots don’t teach anymore , only people to people . That was my case , since the robot attack happened I started taking class and teaching, what I do until now , since I have become a teacher .

New Gen

By Lorenzo Matthes

It’s 2337, the world is full of robots. There are a lot of types of robots, COPS robots, helping robots and others. And, in a little town called Marseville, lives a girl called Lexy. She hates robots, her biggest dream is to exterminate all robots in the world. But, on the other hand, her mother loves it.

Her mother has one robot that do everything on the house, the GEN 5. In the morning, Lexys mom receive a message that the robot producer produced the GEN 6 robots and he is inviting the whole town to the company, because he will give every citizen the new robot.

When Lexy saw that, she quickly told her mom that she didn’t want to go, but her mom disagreed. After a big discussion, Lexy wasn’t happy but they go. Arriving at the company, Lexy saw that different robot and told her mom that it was ugly.

Her mom laughed. Then, both entered on the “giving room”. There Lexy’s mom saw the robot and went to get one.

When Lexy saw a little door close to a dark corner from the room, she felt a bit curious and entered in the door. When she walked through the door, she saw a dark room, with light curtains in the middle. She opened the curtains and there was the most beautiful thing that she had seen in her life, a ROBOT. It was a 5 meters robot, equipped with every weapons that have ever existed, sub machines, snipers, explosive weapons and even knives. Lexy didn’t think twice, she quickly turned on the robot. She wanted that robot because she think that if she trained it and configure in a nice way the robot can be part of her dream helping her exterminating the robots. The robot turned on, and a green light appeared in the place of the eyes. The robots makes a sound: — Hello! I’m Ted, your robot pet!

What? Lexy said. A robot with millions of weapons is a robot pet? Lexy though that she would take the robot for har garage with nobody seeing and make of him a military robot for exterminate all robots.

“Hey Ted , come with me!” Then ted walked through the curtains and stayed in front of Lexy. She put her jacket in the robot head, with the intention of hiding it. They went out the company and Lexy’s mom appeared, and told Lexy the she was concerned with her. Lexy’s mom ask why it was a big robot apparently supposed to be hide. Lexy told that it is a friend that she made on the company. They was listen a siren sound and then a COP robot appear saying that Ted need to came back to the company. Lexy didn’t like this idea and tell the COP that she wouldn’t let Ted go. Then appeared more COPS robots. Lexy felt a little despair about that situation and she climbed to ted head with a small ladder that is placed behind Ted. Above there she saw a red button with a rocket symbol. She clicked. Ted activates his thrusters and ask to Lexy where she want to go, she told that they will go to her house.

Arriving there Ted and Lexy start to train in Lexy’s garage. They train all movement that Ted can learn and test all the weapons. They have train with Lexy’s mom robots. They have trained with the CHEF ROBOT for the fire guns, The MICROWAVE ROBOT for the explosive and the GEN 5 for the knives.

After some hours they had used all of they energy training and then Lexy realizes, where my mom is? Lexy try to called her at least 9 times but they all go to mailbox. Lexy start to be a bit concerned with her mother. She knows that her mom can be only in one place, the company. Then Ted used his thrusters and they arrived into the company. Everything was dark, no robots and no sound. Everything was desert. They could see only a flashlight on the rooftop. Quickly they fly with Ted thrusters to the rooftop for see what’s that. When they arrived Lexy was shocked. She saw her mom above a litter and the robot producer trying to transform her in a robot. Lexy tell Ted to attack the robot producer, Ted uses a knife. Nothing happens. Then the robot producer tell Lexy that he is a robot and he’s doing that because he is in love with Lexy’s mom. The robot producer uses a gun for exterminate Lexy. She devated. Then Ted uses his most powerful weapon that is a bomb.

That bomb enter in the robot producer ace end kill him. Lexy saves her mom and they came back at home.

THE MAGIC CELL

by Lucas Cintra It’s 2093, and we are here with Celso, a scientist that is very famous on Twitter, because he is posting that he created a cell to make babies. We are going to interview him.

-Hello, is it true that you created a cell to make babies?

-Hello, yes it is. I have been working in this for 14 years, and I found one way to create humans with a cell.

This interview was when everything starts to happen. Celso showed us one new creation, and everybody was happy, because they thought that he had absolute control.

With the creations of the cell, Celso presented an idea for the government: The idea was to start creating a lot of babies. And his argument for this, was that: with a lot of babies, we are going to have more people to think and create new things, intelligent people, people for everything. But they didn’t consider something.

When they started creating a lot of babies, they started giving the babies to family’s, and everything was ok. But the world started having so much babies, that there wasn’t space to babies anymore.

So, they started to use the rural area to made houses, and they started to transforme plantation in houses.

With a lot of people in the world, there were more people going to the hospital and more people buying food and more people for everything.

The world started a war because of this, a lot of people fighting to have food, to have houses, to have cars and ETC. The war was individual, and a lot of people started dying, and the war broke the entire world.

Nowadays, in 2111, we are in the process of reconstruction, but we have 5 billions people and everybody needs to have a job, only children that don’t. So like this we can have a better world.

Whit 5 billion people in the world, we are taking a long time to reconstruct, but it’s good, because everybody can have a job, and there aren’t people living in the streets.

The last hope BY: LUISA CASTILHO

THE YEAR IS 2202, AND THE EQUALITY BETWEEN POOR AND RICH PEOPLE IS STILL REALLY STRONG. POOR PEOPLE LIVE IN THE UNDERGROUND OF THE CITIES, OTHERWISE THEY ARE KILLED BY THE RICHERS ONES. AND UP THERE, THE RICH PEOPLE HAVE A NORMAL LIFE, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE PERFECT. EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME COLOR, WEARS THE SAME CLOTHES AND NEEDS TO FOLLOW ALL THE RULES, OTHERWISE THEY ARE BANNED FROM THE CITY AND BECOME POOR. WHILE THEY ARE HAVING A PERFECT LIFE, THERE IS A GIRL IN THE UNDERGROUND, CALLED BELA, THAT NEVER ACCEPTED THIS SITUATION. SHE USED TO LIVE IN AN ORPHANAGE WITH THE COMPANY OF HER BEST FRIEND, CALLED LIZ. BOTH OF THEM ARE REALLY OBEDIENT, BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT MAYBE THEY COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO A RICH ORPHANAGE. BESIDES THAT, THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT HOW THEY CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF ALL THE POOR PEOPLE, SO ONE OF THEIR PROPOSALS AFTER GOING UP IS THIS. AFTER SIX MONTHS, BELA RECEIVED THE NEWS THAT SHE WOULD BE TRANSFERRED, BUT LIZ WOULDN’T. -WHAT WILL WE DO NOW? YOU NEED TO GO, BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? -LIZ, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF MY DREAMS IS TO GO THERE, TO MAYBE HAVE THE CHANCE OF BECOMING RICH, AND SAVE OUR LIVES! -YEAH, YOU ARE RIGHT, MAYBE THIS IS THE CORRECT THING TO DO. AND YOU NEED TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. -I KNOW THAT THIS MAY BE REALLY SAD, BUT I’M ACCEPTING THIS FOR US. I PROMISE I AM GOING TO SAVE YOU, I WILL COME BACK! AFTER A LONG TIME BELA WAS ADOPTED. AT FIRST SHE WAS FEELING REALLY WEIRD, LIKE SHE DIDN’T BELONG TO THAT PLACE, BUT SHE WAS THERE WITH A GOAL, SO SHE NEEDED TO STAY.

The last hope —OH MY GOD! THIS IS NOT NORMAL, PEOPLE HERE DON’T EVEN LOOK LIKE PEOPLE, THEY ACT WEIRD, WITH SOME ROBOT MOVEMENTS! AFTER THIS REALIZATION, BELA STARTED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO ALL OF THEIR ACTS, AND TRYING TO THINK OF A WAY TO BRING LIZ TO THE RICH CITY. -BEING UP HEFE WITHOUT LIZ DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, I NEED TO BRING HER! WITHOUT HER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCOVER SOMETHING. MONTHS WERE PASSING, AND BELA WAS THINKING HOW TO BRING LIZ, AND THE IDEA OF ROBOTS WAS ABANDONED UNTIL A CERTAIN MOMENT. BELA HEARD A CONVERSATION BETWEEN HER “PARENTS”.

-I FEEL SO HAPPY LIVING HERE, THAT POOR PEOPLE ARE SO DISGUSTING! -ME TOO HAHAHA! WHAT THEY DON’T IMAGINE IS THAT WE AREN’T NORMAL PEOPLE, WE ARE ROBOTS, AND OUR PURPOSE IS TO EXTERMINATE THEM MUAHAHAHAHA! AFTER THAT, BELA KNEW SHE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WITH OR WITHOUT LIZ. AND IN HER MIND NO ONE KNEW SHE WAS A REAL PERSON. TIME WAS PASSING, AND BELA KNEW SHE NEEDED TO BE CAREFUL SO NO ONE WOULD DISCOVER HER, BUT THINGS DIDN’T GO ACCORDING TO PLAN, AND HER PARENTS KNEW EVERYTHING. AND IT’S NOW THAT ALL THE ADRENALINE STARTS, ALL THE RICH COMMUNITY ARE LOOKING FOR HER. SO FOR NOW ON, SHE IS ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY, SHE NEEDS TO ESCAPE, AND SAVE THE WORLD.

THE ONLY SURVIVOR BY: LUÍSA CAMPANELLI YAMAJI December 15th of 2044. The day one of my employees had one of the best ideas ever! Well, let’s start from the beginning. In 2035, when I finished college, I decided to take a course to specialize in technology design. Back in 2035, I had the dream to have my own technology company. Since I was a little kid, I had the dream of building robots to help the daily lives of the world.

On December 15th of 2044, my dream was starting to come true.

One of my employees, during a meeting, presented the idea of building robots to help us in our daily lives. My employees and I thought it was a great idea and that we should totally go for it. So that’s what we’ve done. On that same day, we started to build our prototypes.

After weeks of research and 5 months of hard work, we finally had our mini prototype of how our robot would be. Always, after we build something, we have to test it. So that’s what we did. We went to an abandoned warehouse, which was our official testing area, to test the robot. Unfortunately, we forgot to connect one of the wires, so the prototype broke. We were very sad, but since this was my childhood dream, I didn’t give up on it.

After 1 year and a half of research and hard work, we finally had our new prototype. But this time, instead of just making our prototype, we already made our final 7 feet tall version of them, which was the one we would sell to the world. That time, we made approximately 5 thousand robots!

THE ONLY SURVIVOR Things were too good to be true, then, when we least expected it, everything went wrong. On a normal night in our lab, one of the robots went crazy and started destroying everything in its reach.

And, as if that wasn't enough, all 5,000 robots instantly started going crazy, but this time killing people. To this day, I don't know exactly what happened, because I wasn't at home. One of my employees, desperate, called me to let me know what was going on. I was in shock, so as soon as I heard the news, I went to an underground smart house I built to hide.

I stayed in that underground house for approximately 2 years. It was the worst 2 years of my entire life. I had to stand there and watch my friends and family die. I felt very alone and even thought about giving up staying there. Today, I am the sole survivor of 10 billion people. Everything is destroyed and ruined. I am officially the sole survivor.

THE BUZZ

By Luiza Prado Calil

It is November 3rd, 2038 Jade is in her apartment.

We hear a: *CLICK* The tv is on. There is a commercial playing, Jade gets interessed. It is about a new robot Amazon Just launched it’s name is BUzz. Jade then goes to their website and buys it. The robot arrives in an instant, so she sets it up, putting her data and configuring it to be a perfect match for her. That is what all BUzz robots were made to do anyways.

Jade feels much better with the robot’s company. Now, many of the people she knows also have the robot, it is becoming a very common thing. Therefore Amazon had a new update on the robots system where it made online friends for its owner.

As soon as Jade knew that, she configured the robot. And, suddenly, the robot had already made a bunch of new friends for her. With her robot and her new friends, she was living her best life. And together with the friend update, for the robot to be more realistic, he also started giving Jade advice of what to wear or a new way of styling her hair. But, with time, those pieces of advice started taking bigger proportions. Slowly telling her what to eat or where to go, but that was not a problem for her or any other person who owned a BUzz because it was something on purpose it was all to make it seem more real. Anyway, until now, the robot was something incredible it had made everyone’s life better.

One day, Jade had gone for a walk and she took BUzz with her. When she got home, she was going up stairs but as BUzz was very dirty she would carry it up the stairs. But while she was carrying it, it fell and went rolling down the stairs. Jade went running to see if it was broken. Turns out nothing had happened to it on the outside at least, but his system was glitched and Jade could see some programming she did not do. After analyzing it and thinking what could that be, she ended up remembering a rule in which only government bodies could have secret documents on the society. So that had to mean that the government did the programming because if it really was Amazon they would have to announce it because that was also a rule.

She was shocked. How? She loved that robot but it was thought her little BUzz she was being observed and those weird pieces of advice. It was all the government.

She had to do something but she did not know what.

Jade went online to see if she could find something, anything she could not just sit there and pretend she did not see anything.

After hours searching, she finally found something: a group of people who worked with robotics and bought the robot to study it and ended up discovering what the government had done. So, they were sharing it online.

But people were not believing them. But Jade did, because she knew the truth.

She contacted them and they started chatting and she suggested that they would meet and share what they knew. Although what she really wanted was to make an action plan, but she didn’t tell them because she was afraid they would not believing them. But Jade did, because she knew the truth. She contacted them and they started chatting and she suggested that they would meet and share what they knew. Although what she really wanted was to make an action plan, but she didn’t tell them because she was afraid they would not come. *** They met at the chosen place and she was very direct and said “we need an action plan” but they all said no and explained “It is to dangerous! You know we are talking about the government. If they find out we are going to be in serious trouble!” but her last speech convinced them to help her “ We know what is happening and we need to help all those people! The government is supposed to make the community a better place and not manipulate the citizens! I don’t know about you but I am going to do the right thing”. And they did so.

They were now making a plan to hack the system and all they would need to do is to get Jade’s Buzz that had all the secret data, and clone that information and put it in the other robots. It was a pretty easy task for Jack, Rachel and Steve ( the ones that work with robotics). But in this mission one mistake could mean the end of every thing.

The mission was going great but Steve forgot to turn their location off. And again one mistake could be the end of everything.

THEY WERE CAUGHT. And that place was now completely controlled by the government. Oh! And them no one has never heard of them ever since.

THE EARTHQUAKE

by Manuella Cherubim

It was the 7th of august of 2023 when my life went out together with thousands of people. I was a helicopter pilot specialized in rescues. I have a cousin called Gustavo that worked with me. He was my last family member. My dad and my mom died in an accident and I could not save their lives.

So I was living in Washington, and there was a lot of news of earthquakes in California and around. Since I was an officer specialized in rescues. I have a friend called Gustavo that worked with me, we lived our entire life together and he was my last family.

I was living in Washington, and there were a lot of notices of earthquakes that were killing a lot of people. Since I was an officer specialized in rescues,my boss told me that I needed to go to California to help, and that Gustavo and I were going to California to help the rescues there because they weren't able to control the situation.

With that, Gustavo and I went to California with a tightness in the heart. It was very difficult for us to go through all this catastrophe. When we arrived in California, we were in the helicopter, and everything was a catastrophe, there dead people on the floor, buildings falling off, and one earthquake after another. So then Gustavo and I saw a lot of people needing our help. It was very narrow, but then a friend and I had an idea, I would get a rope to save the people and Gustavo would stay by piloting the helicopter, so that’s how we made it. I have extended the rope and I could get down and save the people but when was my turn… the rope broke and I was thrown of the fire… this was the end of my life.

The Path by: Massimo Nasser

In 2427, Nasa was trying to discover new technology to get out of Earth. After a lot of searching, Nasa was going to send 3 astronauts to the moon, for rare minerals that would be useful.

On the day of the launch, a lot of people were there to see the rocket launch. After all of that, the astronauts were already out of the Earth atmosphere, they were preparing the things to survive in space.

On the path to the moon the 3 astronauts were presented to each other, they were David, Olivia and Valentina, they shooc hands and talk a little.

It was almost there: 10 minutes to the arrival.

When the astronausts arrived, they got the machine and started extracting the resources. After 5 hours, the machine finally extracted the resource, and they were preparing to go back to earth, when…

Boom! The Earth collapsed, with one strange laser that was sent there, and when the Earth collapsed, David surprisingly pressed the button of eject in the ship and he floated in space until his death, because the other astronauts couldn´t do anything.

After that happened, the 2 astronauts that remained couldnt think of anything to do. And, because the Earth was destroyed, the moon was dementing by the Sun. When they realized they were going to die, they closed her eyes.

Olivia thought of her family she left behind, her 2 dogs, her friends, her grandma that was so important to her because she helped Olivia with everything she needed, and she remembered some memories of her riding one flying car, because she was a racing driver, but nobody used more flying cars because it was invented the teletransport that was faster and economier.

Valentina saw the planet she left behind and her cat and her robot that was really nice to her he always did everything she wanted, and that was the only thing she had in her family because she was. adopted, and heir ‘’Family’’ died so she remembered everything that was important to her, and she remembered of the society and technology that was left behind because she loved to mess with that.

In the final minute to die the 2 girls held their hands, and waited for their death.

Nothing is what it seems like BY: OLIVIA PEREZ SIMIONI

I was very surprised when I got out of that cave and I saw all things different, nothing is what it seems like: always remember this phrase it will be very important.

It was starting a normal day in this word, that was more technology than nature or humans, that had a lot of silly rules and that people say that it is the “perfect word”.

I don’t like it. I have never believed that the robots were nice or that technology changed all things and made it easier, but this is my life. Who am I to change these things?

My friends and I were going to a secret place that we created, underground because if all these machines started to go crazy, we would have this place. We were going there to do a group work, we were walking when suddenly our, ( clock that the government gave to all people in this city, and is mandatory to use all the time if the government catches someone without will have a big problem, in this clock the government can see your location and personal information about you, they have all access, but you can call you family or friends to. ) The clock started to make a lot of noise and started to say: the word was offered, my friends and I ran to the hiding place, when suddenly the clock started to say: soon there will only be robots in this world! We were very scared when suddenly the robots started to kill everybody and we could see it because it was live on tv.

The government sent us a message talking about the robot massacre. And then something reached me and my friends, we passed out. When we woke up we were in our houses and a robot started saying that he was the only good one. Suddenly it killed all of my friends, I was the only survivor because: yes I am a robot. I'm the first robot with a perfect human body and human speech that's why I'm alive, and now the world is just robots.

Back to Earth Pedro Reck

“What a beautiful morning” said Erik to his daughter. But Erik wasn’t happy about the place that he was living.

He started to research about how was Earth before the population come to Mars.

After days of research, he decided to go to Earth with all the risks: he talked with his friend Mark and said: -Can you borrow me your rocket or your ship?

-Oh sure! But, where are you going?

-To Earth -Are you sure, man?

-Yes -Ok then So, he starts preparing his things to going to travel.

And finally the time had come and the countdown of the rocket had started 10…9…8…7…6…5….4….3…2……..1 LAUNCH and the rocket started flying.

The rocket starts passing though the asteroids, in the way to Earth. Erik is so surprised with that asteroids he was thinking that he would die because the asteroids was huge.

With the hyper speed activated, he got in Earth in seconds. The highest challenge to him was to pass through the atmospheric barrier. With a lot of difficulties he could get into Earth and was surprised…

When he got there, he was horrorized with that place. He thought that Mars was way more peaceful and greater than Earth. Erik heard and different language.

-;;)(;)’*~§¥¥ -What the hell Erik said.

Then Erik started the ejection from the rocket and landed on Earth. He recognized that Earth’s land has a different texture compared to Mars land.

Erik started exploring this place and he saw a lot of ruins around there, rest of metal, rockets and destroyed houses and buildings. Erik had a pad that saw how was that place in the past, he settled the year 2014, and he saw that Earth wasn’t a destroyed place and there had been, started thinking how Earth turned in this place.

He was walking around there and he saw a green creature similar to a alien, then Erik got closer and saw that this creature was an alien and the alien started to attack Erik.

Erik was desperate and started running and running nonstop until he reaches a safe and sound place. That place was like an cabine, and there had guns and weapons. Taking advantage of that, he weapond himself to attack that alien.

Erik started looking around and he finally found the alien, not 1 alien, not 2, not 3, an army of aliens chasing him. Erik was running desperate to go back to Mars and he was trying to find his rocket while running from the aliens.

He couldn’t find his rocket, so he needed to go to plan B, that was kidnapped a alien rocket or ship. After running a lot Erik could find that cabine that he was before. And started observing if he could find a ship or rocket. He found an abandoned and old rocket. He started configurations the rocket buttons, and the rocket was ready to launch. 10…9…8…7..6…5…4…

3…2..1 GO! That rocket was old and didn’t have the hyperspeed system so the rout would take one week for Erik to get into Mars.

When he got back, he could see everyone dead, by the aliens. When he entered to his home when he opens the door appear an alien and kill him.

THE END.

GOOD LUCK

BY SOPHIA MENDES The year is 2097, our community is located in a forest away from the pollution and the lights of huge cities. It's incredible. Here we can still see stars and smell the rain. Our population decided not to use cell phones, IPads, not even computers, we just watch tv and use landlines. Hello I’m Ruby, and I live in the best place of the world!

Sometimes I miss the city, but, just sometimes, here is much better, I just really miss one thing that is the industrialized food, here we just eat food that we plant or that we get on the forest, we do the harvest once a week, I always like to help, is very delicious to eat the strawberries straight from the strawberry plant.

Another thing that I certainly love is my family and friends, Emerald, my mom, Jasper, my dad, Big Bob, my dog and Tom, Max, Jane and Amy, my friends. Don’t tell anyone but, Big Bob is my favorite.

One day during the harvest we found a different mushroom, one that we had never seen before, it was very strange and it smelled like popcorn with cherry. The community decided to prove it because it wasn’t poisonous or whatever. Almost everybody proved it, except for me and my friends, we hate mushrooms. Everyone loved the strange mushroom they said that tasted like buttery Shimeji with Shitake and that it was crunchy.

Some days after this mushroom appeared, my parents started to act strange, they were walking too slow and they weren't talking or even answering me, so I decided to talk to Amy. When I arrived at Amy’s, to my surprise, Tom, Max and Jane were already there.

I asked them why they were at her house, and Tom said: Our parents are very bizarre And I told them that mine to.

Suddenly the tv turned on, the news was on and it said: dear residents this is an emergency warning, some of our citizens who ate the mushroom started to get extremely aggressive, they started attacking and killing other citizens. So far, we have 4 deaths and 12 injured, be careful and keep your distance from the infected ones. Good luck. The warning finished.

Silence.

I was completely confused. I impulsively wanted or needed to kill but my human part didn’t want to hurt anyone. I had the idea of going to the supermarket to eat something to see if this crazy and sick desire goes away. In the way of the supermarked I started to feel very bad, I was dying. When I saw one guy running, I couldn't control myself, the bad sensation was gone and part of my humanity to, from now on I have to live with this if I want to be alive.

Some hours later it was night, I was looking for prey in a farm that I found, I went into a small cottage, well, I certainly went to the wrong place, I was shooted, this time I’m really dead. I don't blame the one who killed me because this time, I was the bad guy, but that is not my fault too. We were looking at each other when, BROOM ! The door opened aggressively! One infected got in and before I could even breath all was black, the last thing I saw was him coming towards me.

Am I dead? But I still can feel my body and I can still breathe. I crawled towards the mirror, I had an insatiable desire to kill, I looked at the mirror, I was one of them.

The Massacre

by Valentina Fofanoff

Over 300 students in the Academy of Mt St ursula died because of the help robots.

Emma Roberts the only survivor of this massacre……

Like any ordinary day, Emma woke up, had her breakfast, and went to school with Buzz, her little helper robot. Buzz was amazing, he could help her in what she had problems, for example: explain things they didn’t understand and nothing more.Emma loved her little robot and he loved Emma. But that stopped when Emma discovered the robot could do everything she wanted: like doing all her home chores, school tasks, all of them, and Emma played while he did all the work.

She told all her friends, they had robots too. The Buzzes were treated like slaves. It seemed Emma wasn’t even in school, her Buzz did everything. Even in home chores.

Even though it was a robot and robots could do everything, Buzz could die. It had limited equipment and time of life (battery). And when Emma required a lot of chores to him he would lose more, and more battery.

Very revolted, the Buzzes planned a secret meeting to decide what they would do to stop this task. It had been two weeks of this unlimited chores, the robots were worn out.

“Hey Buzzes” Emma’s Buzz said with a vindictive voice “ I suppose everybody here dislike the treatment our owners are giving to us” “ Yeah!” All the robots said, with a loud but not very loud voice, they couldn’t be heard.

“So, I was planning a revenge where we should maybe.. ” The meeting continued and the robots already had something planned to happen on April 17th.

The revenge day went on and all the robots knew what they should do. Kill the one that started this treatment with the robots, Emma.

“Tic tac, tic tac” it was break time, and Emma’s time of death. The robots were around the whole school, so Emma couldn’t escape. There were Buzzes in the auditorium, in the cafeteria and Emma’s Buzz was in the court where Emma stayed everyday playing with her friends, he knew he would kill her.

“Hey Buzz!” Emma called him “I would like you to get the ball there near the inside court” Buzz pretended he was not listening to what she was saying, so he was getting closer, and closer and she was repeating what she was saying. When Buzz got really close to Emma he said “ I will kill yowuea” Buzz bugged. He and all the robots now didn’t know what to do, they were really confused. After some seconds they knew what to do, but who said it was the right thing to do. “bam!pum!boom!” the robots started shooting everybody except Emma, she could see all her friends dying in her place, they were calling for help but she ignored them.

Emma could escape, the robots weren't paying attention to her. She got to her house and started to cry, it was all her fault she knew the Buzzes bugged because of the excessive chores, their battery was failing. Day by day, she would remember that day and blame herself. Also, all New York blamed Emma. She couldn’t leave her house so she would get shooted by revenge.

Because one day her whole life was ruined.

She couldn’t handle it anymore, she would like to restart her life, go to one place where nobody knows her. So, secretly Emma went to a small city called Bufford. However, everybody from that city knew her, so she realized her place was not here anymore… She suicided.

A HOT APOCALIPSE

BY VITOR H. TORRENTE

It was a hot day, really hot day. Junior a twelve year old boy, was watching his cartoons on his flyng tv when, suddenly: "braking news! Our worst nightmare has come true. Too much forests were devastated, too much cars were used and too many carbon gas was released in the atmosphere. Dont leave your houses or you will burn by the ultra violet sun beams." The television was turned off by Junior. The boy was in shock. He needed to sit down for a moment. Then the tv shows a location, it was the location of a safe zone. "So its decided, I'm going to that location" he thought.

Junior gets his mom car, she was close to the safe zone, she probably made it, Junior thought to himself.

He started the car and needed to adjust the seat to drive.

Hours and hours passed and Junior was exausted.

The car's fuel was in half, "everything is going on."

Junior shouted. He was so angry he accidentally kicked the cars air conditioner and it broke.

Junior felt his hope stop existing, "everything is going horrible, but I must continue!"

After a while, Junior had left the city, he was in a place wich looked like a desert, it was a dry forest.

Junior's mom car couldn'tpass and it didn't have the suficient fuel to go around, so Junior left the car and continued walking.

He was under the leaves to dont get burnt.

Suddenly: "look, the safe zone!" It was a place fullmof buildings and houses, all under a giant metal plate to reflect sun beams. junior took off a really big dry leaf to use of cover of the sun and started to walk towards the "city".

He was so exitedto see his family.

When he got under the metal plate, he was "good". Junior put down the leaf and started feeling really really hot. Then he started to burn shouting in pain. He layed down and in his last glimpse, he noticed. It was all a mirage.
