The Hit

Rules are rules; they may seem to be solved by organization, although one key thing is that they are always meant to be broken, no matter what the outcome may be.

A young girl in a small town, where everyone knows each other and everyone else knows you, and everything about you. She is the last human to be born on this earth; since her mom tells her stories that the men killed the entire woman race, because they wanted to end humanity. Sofia and her mother are the only women left. Life in a world of peace is pretty routine. It may be in the middle of nowhere, but the town is pretty basic but strict. Meals, naps, TV time, medication and lights out -- it all takes place according to a carefully crafted schedule. It helps keep everyone stable. Although these rules seem to not affect a female at the age of 14 named Sofia, she may be completely innocent, well other than her rule breaking. She stays up late and loves to break rules. Her day is simple. You can't exactly set a clock by it, but it never changes much. Either dinner, free time, exercise, breakfast, reading and sleeping. But all this changed the night a strange old man crashed his vehicle through her front door. Remember rules are meant to be broken in this town. As Sofia sits in the hospital wing looking at the item that was in her back pocket, lost; she thinks of the night that just happened.

Sofia was getting ready for bed when this happened. She remembers it was getting dark because it was about three in the morning. Her mother was telling her about a face cleanser called proactive.

She will go home grab everything she will need, and head towards the forest just like her mother told her to do. No more tears she thinks to herself, she’s a new girl now, a strong one, and she is no longer going to be the weak and fragile one that she used to be. She will make everyone proud including herself. Her mother will have died for a reason, and she will make the reason unforceful. Sofia walks out of the hospital doors, and onto the outside world. Leaving her tears behind with the old her. She reaches in her pocket grabs the map, and begins on the journey that will make her mother proud. It all changes now. It’s the beginning of a new world. Sólo la vida leaves her lips as she walks off into the darkness.
