49

Trial Number 1 “Man, they sure are making a lot of errors with the software,” I said to myself as I anticipated my turn to use this new matrix software. There were 50 people selected to come to the designated secret area to test this out. I was number 49. Everyone who had been in the testing room made the computer malfunction. I was sort of scared, so I tried to walk away, but then...“Test Subject Number 49!!” That was me. They had yelled this out to notify me and anyone else that my test was underway. “OK. So, young man, have you heard of the movie ‘The Matrix?’” Said the very old scientist. He was a very nice man, though. He had on a white lab coat with goggles to shield his eyes in case something were to happen. I paused for a moment before saying “Yes, sir. I have watched the movie plenty of times.” “Well then,” he added, “Let's get started. This test is to help regular civilians like yourself see the world that that movie was based on.” I replied, “Ok, I think that I can handle that.” After I said that, I heard weird noises coming from the machine, but thought nothing of it. “Test Number 49 will commence in t-minus 5 seconds.” said the computer. Once it started, I saw 1’s and 0's just like in the movie. A couple of seconds later, I was in an Augmented Reality Sequence that allowed me to do anything that I could think of! It was weird at first, but I got the hang of it after a few minutes. A couple of seconds after I started to get the hang of things, the software sort of lagged and glitched, but I thought nothing of it. “Really? It’s 2045 and we still have laggy software?” I said, shaking my head. 20 minutes later, the world went back to normal. The scientists behind the glass were clapping and cheering, oblivious to the computer’s weird sounds and sparks. After I walked out, I was escorted out of the building by militants with AK-47’s. I ran outside ready to tell my older cousin what had happened. About 2 minutes after I got out of the building, the alarm started to go off. The 50th test subject and 4 of the 5 scientists are still inside. I'm running away alongside the 5th scientist when, “BOOM!!!” the whole 1st floor of the building blew up, leading to a chain reaction of collapsing floors. The other 4 scientists are dead under the debris. The 50th test subject...the 50th child, is dead, with them.
