The Very Beginning of Everything

Newspaper clipping: '"The year is 3008 and all hell has broken across the entire nation." Says teenage girl Gabriella of age 15.' Ever since the conflict of 2080 between Russia and the United States we have been at war. At least, that's what I was told. I, Gabby, have lied about my age to join the fight, smuggled people across the country, been kidnapped by gang members, and has been abused since the war started. I ran away from my father when he started coming home and abusing my mother and I. I made the right choice. Last I heard, my old home went up in flames because my father had been bringing home too much alcohol. When the year started it had seemed... different. And I was right. Some people on the inside have just gotten word of the enemies plans. Now we have an actual chance of winning the war.
