TERMINATOR: ATTACK OF THE DRONE

i woke up the post came the bills as usual pricy but I seen it comming as it is summer we bath more often. I was in a good mood on the way to work the sun was shining and the birds were singing. And there it lays the c.i.a base looks at me and I look it back awaiting a new day. I enter my office and check what my orders are I was told to get to the controll system and get flying quick. I ask what is the matter the chief says no time to explain just get going. I fly to the system and I notice that I’m not in an English drone I’m in Iranian drone I ask what to do the chief replies saying fly towards north he said this is risky but I believe in you. Then at that point I was totally nervous about what my objective was going to be as he seemed so serious about the situation. 20 minutes has passed and I start to see people getting taken into vans and people being dragged from thier own homes. The thought of that being my family being abused and taken for hostage the danger levels in this place is unreal.how? How do people live here it’s inhuman to stay just waiting to be taken away from loved ones. I keep flying as the chief is right behind me watching me as go on controlling the drone. I come across this village and the chief yells. STOP! I panic and nearly crash the drone but I just about recovered from the loss of control. All I see is a boy glancing at the shining moon as it gleams with light the boy looks troubled I keep scanning the area and I leave the drone hidden from anyone and I go back home. The very next day I tell my children that it is take your kids to work day and they are extatic to come with me. Once again it’s beautiful and I’m cheerful and so are my children so I take a quick nip to the park with them. They only go on the slide and swings but if they are happy I’m happy to so then after 5-10 minutes I tell them it’s time to go and they asked for a couple more but we must go now so let’s get going. When we enter my two sons are amazed at what they see Fromm computers that don’t even look real to what is out of the ordinary. My chief asks what thier names are and they both reply I’m Tom and I love reading about aliens and I am Tim and I love role playing with dad about dinosaurs. The chief says that’s wonderful and he shows my kids the drone that I’m flying at the moment they are stunned and turn to me and say you never told us it looked so cool. Well that’s one of the ups to this job. I say it’s time to get flying woundnt you say the chief agreed and the kids ran like cheetahs towards the room and we’re waiting on us to hurry up as the doors were key card locked. We entered and they stood on a balcony watching of a huge screen showing were the drone was and what it is doing. I elevate the drone over a cliff and once again I see the some old some old village. I see the boy again this time he has a friend and his friend seemed to have an RPG aimed straight for me. I stare at boy and the boy stares back he takes the shot I swerve and doge the missile his friend runs and and the boy reflects a bright light into the camera of the drone blocking my visual on him I do turn and fly backwards using the back camera of the drone the boy falls of the cliff. And I follow I can take the shot or I can leave the insignificant and move on my kids are watching and so is my chief I don’t know what to do I tell the guards to cover their eyes and i take the shot. The chief is proud of me but I’m not proud of myself as I leave the office my kids stare at me and rain falls I feel alone as my wife died years ago as I question myself if that friend was all that boy had imagine how lonely he must feel.

  2. Excellent point of view here Shane. The choice of the pilot is a really thought provoking perspective that you build up well.

    In order to build towards the badge you need to do the following:

    Improve your sentence and paragraph structure. Make sure that each of your sentences make sense by itself and it links correctly with the next.

    Remember to use paragraphs! They are fundamental to a good story but also, short ones can be used to develop tension.

    Focus on this first of all before developing the rest of the story.
