Escape The Stars
“One star. Again.” I sighed and put a box of robot parts on the shelf. The screen hovered a second longer in front of my head, reminding me I’m not good enough. Then it disappeared.Somehow I always get one star, even though I really try. Is everyone against me? Is it because I’m below everyone, below all the pilots and the leaders?“Stop messing around, scrap kid. And fix this thing.” A tall figure was standing in the door opening, lifting up his arm.

If you go grocery shopping without a list, you're going to end up buying more than you should. If you are a motivational speaker, and you don’t prepare anything before your big speech, you could end up not having enough content for the speech. In this case, I’m a Special Forces soldier about to assault a building without a plan and probably going to die. That is exactly what I was facing. Standing in front of an abandoned factory...
