The Project

Jordan Minger

     It is early in the morning around 7 A.M. My alarm clock rings, I roll out of bed and look out the window. I stare at the tall, New York City, skyscrapers as the snow falls down from the sky. I sit there wondering when I'll make it. I wonder when I will get out of my one-bedroom apartment building. There are endless opportunities in New York, that's why I moved here, but for now, I will have to be content with my life.

     

     I go to make myself some breakfast but as I open up the cabinets I see that there are only two slices of bread and some butter in the fridge. After I get done eating, I go to work on my newest project. I call myself an Inventor, but others call me a failure. After this invention revolutionizes the world they will see I am the smartest man in the universe. See I have had a few inventions that failed miserably, like the suit that makes you invisible, or the glasses that allow you to see through things, but this invention is different. I can feel it.

 

     This invention will include the newest technology. It is a suit of armor that turns invisible. To everyone else, it will appear you are wearing your everyday clothing, but little do they know that you are wearing the strongest armor in the world. This suit will allow you to walk through fire, bullets, grenades, and anything else you can think of. The best part is that it actually works. I just need to run the last test, the scariest test that is. I need to shoot myself.

 

     I put the suit on and prepare myself. At first, I take a lighter and hold it to my arm, I feel nothing. Then I take the gun load it and cock it back. I close my eyes and hesitate as I pull the trigger. Boom! The bullet bounces off my chest and breaks the window, but I don't care. I jump in excitement. I have finally succeeded I will become a millionaire.

I call the news and tell them about my invention. Soon my phone starts to ring from every news station in the country. I am famous. Videos of the suit working are going viral on social media. People are already trying to buy it from me for billions. I'm getting paid for interviews and the video. I can finally afford food and a new phone.

 

     After a while, the publicity dies and I get a phone call that tells me I have to turn in the suit or it will be taken from me. I think nothing of the call and proceed on with my day. Until the military breaks into my apartment and takes the suit. Everything I worked for, has been taken from me, but I will not stand for this. I don't care how many people have to die I will get it back.

     "Where were you last night?" Said my mom. I had just gotten home and it was 7 in the morning. I went out with friends last night and she told me to be home by 12 but I didn't know what was coming for me. Last night was my best friend's 18th birthday. We were going to go out and just have fun with a couple of friends. When 11:30 came around we were leaving the lake and heading home when my friend asked me to stay the night. I knew I needed to be home but I was drunk and didn't want to go home anyway. I decided to stay with her without telling my mom and we stayed out a little longer and messed around. The night ended when the police were called and we were told to go home. I was scared to come this morning so we will see how this conversation goes.
