It was rainy outside, the voice of the raindrops which are hitting the gigantic glass cupola were making Miles’s ears hurting “Why they don’t activate the rain stoppers?” it was Axel. “I don’t know Axe the Glass is dying slowly, four days ago one of the oxygen makers stopped making oxygen, they tried to call home but they couldn’t get any answer from earth” When Miles finished his words the
announcement of rain stoppers start: “Rain stoppers in process… Rain stoppers in process… Enjoy your day MARSCOM” “Thanks MARSCOM” Miles murmured.
MARSCOM was the name of their community in Mars, when their elders on the earth decided to create a new community in space they have created MARSCOM. In their community there are 96 different nations. And some of the nations are not existing currently because of the H67 which killed 3 bilion people. But the life in Mars is better than earth except they still can not make the atmosphere liveable so they still living in glass cupolas which are big as manhattan island.
“Dinner time is now on process please go to your homes and eat food” it was the food announcement . “See you tomorrow Axe” said Miles while making a call to a taxi. “See you Miles” Road was too busy that he went to home in 20 minutes. He knocked the door. Morana opened the door she was their maid.”Hello Mr Miles” she said politely while smiling. “Hello Morana, what we have for dinner” “We have clean water, potatoes and some reall cow meat” when Miles heard meat he run upstairs and he opened the dinner rooms door. “Why were you late Miles” “ Sorry dad it won’t be again” after the conversation Miles start to eat his delicious food with his mom and dad. It was really delicious for him because to buy fresh water, potatoes and meat for only one dinner was really expensive in their community but Miles’s father was one of richest man in the Earth and Mars so it was normal for them.
After the food Miles go upstairs to his room. He played guitar for an hour, later he made his homeworks which due to tomorrow. At 12 o’clock he put threw himself to his bed and sleep.
Dark, time, sea, oceans, purple, hot it was “It” again. The thing he can’t name the “It”. It was part of his life since he started to understand dreams. It was his nightmare but sometimes It was protecting him from bad things. “Go away” Miles screamed. “What, why you are here” Miles was powerless to It. “Protect yourself Milesss something really bad will happen Milessss really really bad” Miles opened his eyes, he looked to the clock it was 2 o’clock at night the tears on his eyes were still wet he felt tired and he tried to remember the dream but he couldn’t remember he fell asleep again.
He wake up with the voice of the alarmclock, he put on his clothes and look to himself from mirror. Miles was a handsome boy he has nice looking blonde brown hairs and green eyes. His body was perfect too he was 1.90 and really fit. After his mirror ceremony he went downstairs and go out from his house. Axel was awaiting for him in front of the house with his car. They were in school in 5 minutes. School was normal they had Marshistory exam which was easy and they had 6 other lessons. But something unusual happened, Karl tried to crack the cupola and when the teachers saw him they sent him to the principal’s office. When teacher asked him the reason why he hit the cupola Karl said that he is tired of being inside.
When school finished Miles decided to go to the shopping mall where is near to the entrance of the cupola. Miles asked Axel to come and he said yes. While they were walking Miles asked to Axel “Why do you think Karl tried to destroy the cupola” in that moment Miles remembered his dream but he did not share his dream with Axel. “I don’t know Miles maybe he was bored” he laughed and keep talking “but I think Karl will not stop until he achieve his goal. Do you know that he hates us especially you” “I know that Ax it is not hard to understand”
When they arrived to Mall Miles asked to Axel about going to the entrance gate.
Axel said okey but he couldn’t find any reason to go there. There was not any guardian in the entrance since they understand that outside is not livable but there were some guardian towers around the cupola because of the outsider attacks. Outsiders were not humans or alive things they were intelligent robots. Entrance was old there were some rusty parts but someone who has a overall intelligence could say that it is high technology.
When they decided to go back Axel saw some footprints which are going to upstairs where the control room and escape capsule is. “Axel look there are footprints” Miles started to run to upstairs and Axel followed him.
When they opened the control room they see 5 man who are wearing black they only noticed one of them, Karl. 5 man start to run through Miles and Axel they beat them until they become sure they both are dead. Then they put them to the rubbish container because containers were going to a place in outside.
Miles opened his eyes it was all black, he was thirsty and his lips were hurting. He started to remember what happened. “Axel” he tried to shout but his voice was too weak. He gathered his power and shout again “Axeell” then he waited. He heard a voice but it was too weak. “Axel is that you” he waited for a while. “Yes Miles where are we” Miles thought for a moment, it was a hard question to answer. “I don’t know, I think we are in a rubbish container. We have to find a way to go out”
“There is a button next to me, I can feel it with my hands I will press to it Miles”
“Okay, press” When Axell pressed the button they closed their eyes because of the sunlight . There was a door in the container and it was open, they reached to the door and go outside.
Axel was out first, he let the sun to burn his body, he smelled the fresh air and he looked through the beautiful forest it was all great. Then Miles get out, he was shocked with the beauty of the Mars. They walked for a hour. They saw a water fountain, they went there and drink from the freshwater later they lie down under a tree and fall asleep. Miles wake up in the middle of the night, it was dark outside. He watched the stars and drink water. He was hungry, he decided to find something to eat tomorrow. He was missing his family, but luckily there was Axel with him. He fall asleep again.
Miles wake up when Axel pour water over him. They both start to laugh.
“Good morning Miley”
“Good morning Emily”
“Enough fun for morning we have to find something to eat or we will die Axel. Lets search for some fruit”
“Okay Miles but first I want to sit for a while”
They sit under a tree and chat. The place where they were camping was a great place. There were trees and animals, from the cupola no one ever saw a tree or an animal.
After they chat they stand up and start to search for something to eat. 10 minutes later they find a tree which has fruits. They were big and yellow. Miles eat one without thinking. It was the greatest thing he ever had. They collect all of them and start to walk back to the camp. While they were walking they made a plan. It was: going back to cupola, punishing karl and telling people that outside is livable. While they were walking back to their camp they saw some animals which are jumping between trees. When they arrived to camp and sit, Miles said “What if there are humans in outside”
“What, are you crazy!”
“No, really think about it we can’t be the first, I am sure that they are people who escaped from the cupola”
“You are crazy”
“No I am not Axel” They laughed and fell asleep. That night Miles saw the “It” again. “It” said that he is going good and said that he has to protect Axel and himself”
When they wake up it was early in t morning they eat their BigYellow Fruits and start to think about what to do.
“I think we have to explore the forest and later find a hill so we can understand where we are and where the cupola is”
“It is a really good idea Miles,I think we have to climb to that cliff and maybe we can make some fire to take attention of the cupola” he pointed the hill with his forefinger.
“But Ax if we make fire, the outsiders will see that too and they will kill us”
“They are not alive, they are robots”
“I am not sure about it, I think there are humans in the outside too and maybe the reason we didn’t see any of these animals and trees is because they put a huge fake wall between the forest and the cupola. And maybe they are the ones who are playing with the atmosphere’s oxygen results because they dont want us to go out and take their place.”
“I don’t want to say that but maybe you are right and if there are people in this forest we have to be more watchful”
“ Of course, we will Axel. Lets explore”
First they went through the forest. Forest was dark, trees were huge and there were many animals, after they have walked for half an hour and got tired they sit under a huge tree. That moment Miles heard a rustle coming from the bushes behind him. He first thought it was an animal but when the rustle kept coming he decided to check the bushes.
“I will go and check the bushes Axel I heard a rustle and I am not comfortable with it”
“Okay Miles I am coming too”
They walked like wild animals who are following their targets, slowly and careful. Miles took a rock from the ground to protect himself, he was scared and full of adrenaline. When they came front of the bush rustles stopped. That moment 3 things jumped out from the bush through the Miles and Axel, they were yelling screaming and fighting, in the end of the fight Miles’s and Axel’s hands were tied to each other and one of the thing was carrying them. All of the things were man, they were tall, strong, fast and fit. They were nearly hairless and they were speaking in a different language but they were like humans.
“Who are you” Miles screamed. They looked to the Miles but they dont answer.
It was nearly night and they were still walking. Axel was passed out when the biggest thing hit him but Miles was stronger, he did not passed out or sleep because he wanted to remember the way to their home. At midnight Miles saw some lights coming from the canyon. He promise to himself that he will go back home and tell to people that Mars is livable. When they come to the entry of the canyon a huge gate opened.
Inside of the gate there were thousands of people, there were people who were selling fruits, meats and other stuff.
There were towers around the bazaar area, in the towers there were people who had guns.
They kept walking. Miles understand that they come to the residential area when he saw the houses. Houses were big and good looking, they were white and mostly made of wood and glass. There were gardens around the houses. Miles thought they will stop in the residential area but they don’t. They stop when they came to the entrance of a big building. It was made of marble and a shiny thing. When the doors of the building opened other people cut the rope of the Miles and Axel and force them to go in.
“Where are we” Axel whispered to Miles while they walk
“I am not sure but we are in a place like a town”
“Who are they”
“Some kind of human”
Other people opened a door and tell them to go in.
When they go in they saw a beautiful woman she pointed the chairs to them.
After they both sit the woman start to talk.
“Hello human, sorry if we hurt you”
“Who are you” Miles asked.
“I will explain everything be patient” she continued “where are you coming from”
“We are coming from a cupola, we thought that outside was unlivable. We have to tell them”
“I know your nation, we are trying to keep them inside” the woman said in a peaceful way.
“What, are you crazy if we can’t find a way to go out we will die inside, you have to help us” Miles was angry but the woman didn’t cared him she kept talking.
“We are humans like you, we are coming from the cupola X”
“I thought that it was destroyed by an asteroid thousand years ago”
“Yes, we are the children of the survivors. We decide to create a new community in Mars which is better than the Earth’s community. My name is Caroline. What are your names?”
“My name is Miles and..” he looked to the Axel “his name is Axel. He and I are really tired is there any place that we can sleep”
Caroline said something in another language and two guardians took Axel and Miles.
“I will think about your people” she said while they were walking to their room.
When Miles wake up he couldn’t find Axel. He went out but he stopped when he saw Caroline coming towards him.
“I want to talk with you about your people Miles”
“You can, but where is Axel?”
“He is in a safe place. I thought about your people and I have an offer. I care my people more than everything and I want them to be safe and I don’t trust your people they can try to fight with us. I will only trust you if you let me to kill Axel”
“What you can’t ask me to do that” Miles was shouting.
“Think about it if you say yes I will change the oxygen results to livable from unlivable and I will destroy the fake reality wall. If you say no I will make you a member of our colony, I will send Axel back to the cupola and when the people in the cupola starts to die I will show that to you.” she went out and said that she will come back at midnight.
Miles was angry to Caroline but grateful too because he knows that Caroline had power to kill them but she choose to give him a choice. He tried to think about what would Axel do but he couldn’t. It was the hardest question he ever have to answer. In the end of the night Caroline came and asked about his answer Miles was feeling powerless but he gathered his power and said “kill”.
2 days later Caroline and her army destroyed the wall and changed the results. They sent Miles as a delegate. Miles explained the situation and took peace promise from minister. Six months later both colonies were living in peace.
Miles heart was bleeding because he was feeling himself guilty but whenever he saw the children who are laughing he became happy. Years later Caroline and Miles married and the colony lived in peace forever.
