World War Three

Chapter 1: Dad's Vaca

December 20, 2030

It's a cold winter day, my family and I are hanging up Christmas decorations a bit late this year. With everything that's been going on in America and the other countries, I wouldn't expect many people to be happy about Christmas this year. My father is taking a vacation from the Army this year, so we could spend the Christmas holiday together as a family. But, it's only a matter of time before my father is called back, to help fight in the war.

About 5 years ago, a huge piece of land came up from the ocean floors and the Countries started fighting over who would get the land. But about a year after it had risen, the land became it's own Country and they named them selves the Ebria. After becoming a country, people started moving to Ebria in hopes of a new life. And Ebria was different. There was no such thing as states or different regions within the country.

Everywhere in Ebria was the same, but little did everyone know 4 years later there would be a war because of Ebria. One half of the world against the other and we are against Ebria. Ebria is one of the richest and strongest Countries in the world with a massive army. But, they are still new to the war game. At least that's what my father says.

It's 2:00 pm and I'm still in fluffy blue pajamas with bunny slippers. my father put his hand on my head and tells me to go get ready for the day. I head upstairs and I take a hot shower so i can get all the dirt of me from cutting down the Christmas tree yesterday. After, I get out the shower i dry myself off and i put on my average daily clothes. Blue jeans, mismatching socks, a purple shirt and my favorite long sleeve blue sweater atop. After, getting dressed i brush my hair, teeth and i head down stairs to a big lunch with my family. I sit down and i start eating. "Thanks Dad" I say with a mouth full. My mother begins talk shortly after everyone starts eating. "Tonight, your father and I are going out on a date, and while we are gone we would appreciate if you guys behaved well.". My brother and I reply with a "Yes, mom" and before we knew it mom and dad were heading out.

After, my little brother and I finished the leftovers from lunch for dinner. My brother decided to go play video games in his room. While he was upstairs playing, I went up to my room and cleaned up a bit. Around four hours later, I found my brother had fallen asleep playing his game. I turned off his play station 6 and tucked him into bed. Soon, after mom and dad came home. Its around 2 in the morning and Im going to say goodnight. I start to walk downstairs but, the house phone started to ring and I stopped.

"Hello, this is Andrew." there was a silence in the dining room and suddenly the tension in the air got worst. "Alright, ill be ready to leave tommorow evening." my dad replied to the person on the other line. So I guess now is when he has to leave? I no longer want to say goodnight or i will break down into tears. So I turn around and I slip into bed. Around five minutes later my parents open my door. It creaks as my parents open the door. My parents come into my room and I pretend to sleep. They kiss my forehead and my dad says "sorry, I can't stay for vacation." there was a silence then, my parents leave the room and I silently cry to sleep.
