Anger Will Destroy
My family and I survived the attack on Earth. It was devastating, we had to leave our homes behind. Earth was in no state for survival. We left and ventured in space until we found a planet suitable for human life. When we found a planet, we weren’t allowed to set up civilisation until the government had checked if we would survive. This planet was suitable for life, but it was very sensitive to emotions If those living on the planet are happy, the planet will thrive, where as if we are angry or disruptive, disastrous events could occur. The only problem was that the government decided that we did not need to know how bad the situation could get.

We have been living on Xtanga for several months. Everyone in my family, my sister Tru, my mother Monica, my father
Holden and myself. We finally found a place to stay. We are now settled in. The government came over to our house yesterday to offer Tru a position in their IT department, we needed the money and it was a privilege so she accepted the job right away. So when I wake up every morning to get ready for my work, just a boring waitressing job, she would be all dressed up nice and ready to ‘Keep Her Country Safe’...we have already started to drift away from one another. We used to be so close.

Today my friends and I saw for ourselves what can happen when we get angry. Lily and Elise got into a fight over something they did last summer, back on Earth. We all yelled at them to stop, because we don’t know what could happen. Eventually we all started fighting about how the government is lying, and just as the fight escalated the bushes surrounding us shriveled up and died, and the grass beneath our feet turned brown. We were standing in a circle of dead grass. And at this moment in time we decided between ourselves that the government may be telling the truth, but is also hiding something of importance.

Tru has been working for the government for almost a year now. The government told us when she started her job that they would be able to keep her safe.The protests began because people believe that the government is hiding something important. You can tell where the protesters have been by the colour of the grass. When you see lush green grass, there is peace, but when you see dead brown grass, the protesters have been through here.They do not care that they are killing the planet, the only known home left for us.
24/06/2045
Even though Tru works in IT, one of the safest positions in the government,mother is still worried. Tru tells us that the government can’t fight back because of how sensitive the planet is. If they try to prevent the protestors it is more likely that they will react to it and begin to riot. If this happens, only very few people know what could possible happen.
Tru doesn’t talk to me much these days, I guess she thinks she is better than me because she is the one who is working for the government not me. I guess that’s just something im going to have to get used to.
30/06/2045
The protester have began to riot, even without the retaliation of the government. We have been told this is dangerous, but because no one really knows what can happen they don’t really care. They believe that if they ignore it and the government does nothing to stop them, then the consequences mustn’t be that bad.
Tonight Tru has been called to a meeting, but she isn’t allowed to tell us anything about it. Even if she did decide to tell,
I’m sure she would tell mum not me, she probably doesn’t trust me enough to tell me anything important.

As Natalie Freeman (my best friend) and I walked down Washington Court, Los Angeles we noticed an unusual package sitting in the gutter. It was a basic box, but it had odd parts added on to fit the size of whatever was inside. The other odd thing about it was that it had FORBIDDEN written all over it in big red letters. I tried to pick it up and was surprised by its lightness. So, we carried it to my house on 9481 Lacey Lane, Los Angeles and stuffed it in my closet with all my clothes. Natalie told…
