The factory

Billie sighed, she was sitting at a table with other people, brainwashed people, but still people, they all acted the same, the headmaster has everyone come to his office before they came into the factory which soon everyone will be working at because work outside of the factory is almost impossible, they come in fine and come out barely blinking, she had gone in too, they have you stare at a screen, and it erases your memory and tells you what you believe, what to do, and what to say. Billie's father taught her how to avoid being hypnotized, before he died, he wanted Billie to be able to defend herself against the Head Master and all the rule enforcing robots. But he also taught Billie to be smart so she’s been working in the factory and has been pretending to be like the others, brainwashed. The bell rang and then everyone got up in sync and shuffled out of the mess hall and walked outside towards the factory, it was a huge grey building with thick black smoke coming out of the pipes on the roof, it was the stuff nightmares are made of, they all walked into the big black doors of the factory, it was hot,

like as if you were standing right next to a blazing fire. The towering machines that are for melting gold and silver into jewelry and gold bars to sell to the rich people, Billie despised them ever since her mother stole all her fathers money to go live with the rich, Billie's father chose to live simply in a little house on the outskirts of town, but her mother always loved the living the rich life so she took the opportunity to do so, after she left Billie's father got sick and they couldn’t pay for a doctor, so he pasted away with no chance of living. Billie took her place on the inspection belt before the jewelry and gold were packed into boxed and shipped away, she got one of the easy jobs that you can’t accidentally die on, one boy came and worked for a couple days until one day he somehow fell into the giant pot of melted gold, Billie went into the routine, picking up the jewelry, quickly looking over it than putting it back on the belt, usually nothing was wrong with the jewelry, but when there is something they throw it into the box placed behind each of the workers, Billie had to control the urge to look up of rub her face because none of the hypnotized workers did that all they did was keep there head down and check the jewelry. Billie worked for another thirteen hours then the bell rang, Billie could barley keep her eyes open, all the workers walked out of the factory and went to the sleeping quarters. It was a small cabin like building, there was bunk beds lined all all through the cabin on both sides and a small walk space in between, Billie walked over to her bed laid down and fell into a deep sleep. 

Billie shot up out of bed. she slept in. everyone was already gone, Billie ran to the door, maybe she could sneak into the mess hall, there was no robots insight so Billie made a run for it, she ran through the alleyways in between buildings, she turned a corner and froze; there in front of her was one of the Head Masters robots. It was turned the other way so Billie slowly walked back to were she came from, then she looked over to a open door to one of the cabins and gasped, there was a man sprawled out on the floor, his shirt was soaked with blood and the floor around him was covered in blood. Billie ran into the cabin and checked for a pulse there was none, he was dead. Billie turned and went to walk out of the cabin, but she heard the floor creek behind her, Billie whipped around, the Head Master was looking at her with a grin on his face, “ well look who’s got a keen ear” ‘you killed him” Billie said through clenched teeth “ yes I did, you want to know why?, because he thought he thought he out smarted me, his hypnosis somehow wore off and he acted like he was still hypnotized but there were flaws in his acting, but you, I didn't suspect a thing”. Billie kept eye contact, he was wearing a long trench coat that opened in the middle, and Billie knew that he had a weapon hidden, so Billie kept on her toes. Then in a flash of black he made is move, the Head Master shot forward as fast as he could, Billie ducked and tumbled out of the cabin. The Head Master had pulled out a long silver dagger and sneered and he slammed the dagger into the doorway, Billie ran as fast as she could tp the big gates that led to the outside world, “ YOU CAN’T RUN FOREVER!!!” said the Head Master as he ran after her, Billie knew she couldn't run forever but she could run long enough to get were she needed to go, Billie ran faster than she ever did before. She could see the gates, Billie tugged at her pockets she had stolen the pass key from the robot Billie spotted the pin pad that the key goes on, Billie looked back the Head Master he was still running at the same vigorous pace, Billie sucked in her breath, she almost slammed into the gates but stopped herself and swiped the key, but it didn't work, Billie stole a panicked glance at the Head Master he was almost to her, Billie swiped the key frantically, the Head Master was only ten feet away, Billie swiped once more accepting her fate, then the gates started screeching open Billie laughed then started crying in joy and ran through the gates, the Head Master yelled out in anger but stopped at the gates. it was sunny and Billie smiled she was free and would come back for the others once she had enough people with her to destroy the Head Master and his factory.
