A while back I thought I was normal…. Not any more.  My name is John Casting and this is my life. I was tall had short dark brown hair and I am very athletic. Being the most athletic person in my school had its ups and downs. I always thought that I was just talented at sports. But one day that all changed
	“ Hi John. We need to talk to you As I was walking home, Jack who is a average height blond wavy hair and big glasses,and Claudia who was medium size and had wavy blond hair  two of my friends approached me, determined looks on their faces,” Jack said.
	“Yeah it’s really urgent,” Claudia hastily agreed.
	“What is it then?” I replied
	“Well this is very hard to say, but the reason you’re amazing at sports and all things sports related is because you’re an experiment of the government,” Said Claudia smiling nervously. 
		“ Y-y-you’re lying to me. I’m just talented. Why are you trying to make me feel bad?” I stuttered.
	“We aren’t lying to you, were telling the truth.” countered Jack 
	“No you’re not.” I said as I started to sprint away I knew that as soon as I reached a full sprint, no one at our school or most other person my age could catch me. I only slowed down when I reached my house porch easily vaulting up the few stairs to the house. 
	“ How was school my mother asked?”
	“It was fine, but I have a ton of homework.” I lied, “I might ask Niko for help”
	“ That poor old man helps you with everything from history to algebra.” My mother chastised.  
	“But mom you know he enjoys it.” I said giving her one of my winning smiles as I headed up the stairs where Niko slept. When I entered the room the smell of cinnamon assaulted my sense of smell. 
	“ Well look who it is, Niko said as he cleared a spot on a desk “come on over, what do you need help with” the old man asked me. 
	“Actually nothing, I just wanted to talk to you about something that happened to me on the way home.” I said.
	“ Really? Said Niko as he leaned forward, did you get a new record on the way home?” questioned Niko a sparkle in his eyes. 
	“Well it does have something to do with that… some of the talented people approached me and told me that is was and experiment of the government… well a lab experiment” I said nervously. 
	Niko sighed dejectedly and then reluctantly said “I was hoping that you wouldn’t find out until you were older but I guess there is a time for everything, I am a retired federal agent from the government of the United States of America, and I was sent here to check on your progress and monitor your life. 
	“So everything was a lie I yelled,” thoughts racing through my head there was a window to my right and I jumped down to the roof 3 feet below and rolled to the 	edge  and stood up. I climbed down the vines that had taken over that side of the house and started to run.
	70 feet away a sniper was polishing his gun. He had a very boring job to do every day all day; all he did was watch †he house and make sure the boy doesn’t get away. If the boy did all he had to do was shoot him with a tranquilizer dart, because the boy would be a menace to the government. He looked over and saw the boy running and hastily loaded the gun and took aim and fired at the boy running from his house into the woods, and down the hill. The boy crumpled immediately.
	I felt a pain and then everything went dark. I figured that I as dreaming until I drifted up and saw my lifeless body, blood gushing from my head. I realized I had been shot and killed and that I was dead. I began experimenting if I could interact with items and lifeless matter but only that.
	
	5 miles away and 4 hours later, his employer was yelling at the sniper. 
	 “HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM, screamed Nathan Saunders, top government official” 
I-I-I’m sorry sir I thought I was shooting the tranquilizer stumbled the sniper.
	 I drifted off and slowly thought up my revenge.  I decided I would try to make Jack and Cludia join me in death because they are the people who started this all. I decided first it would be first Jack then Claudia second. As I drifted to Jacks place it started to snow and icicles were in the overhang on his porch. I took a rock and threw it against the door and the floated to the top of the porch readying for what I was about to do. Luckily it was jack who answered the door and stepped off the porch. As he looked around and started back inside I tore off the sharpest icicle I could find and made another noise on the roof as to keep him there for a little longer. As jack looked up and I threw it as hard as I could into his eye he gave a slight whimper then collapsed. 
	I saw something come out of his mouth and it formed into the shape of his body.
 	I decided I should leave before his dead form came to. I headed over to Claudia’s and repeated what I did to Jack.  As I drifted off finally at peace I wondered what I would do for eternity. I would probably just try to live like I would have minus interaction with people. I figured I could have some fun with this, I could sneak into movie theaters and just watch how life plays out for the people who are still alive.
