Silence is Suicide.
Chapter Fourteen.
"Told you she'd come back, bro." Jeremy whispered to me. He had the biggest smile on his face. It was obvious to me that Ambrosia was his most meaningful and precious treasure.
I yawned, I was tired, and nodded my head.
"You tired?" he asked me, "You can go to bed any time, no need to stay up." Jeremy looked at the clock, "I should probably head to bed as well."
Jeremy did a last minute clean up while I headed to the room Jeremy offered to me.
"Good night, Emerson." I heard him call from the kitchen.
I turned and looked at the humane man. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. I opened the door to my room and jumped right into bed. I didn't bother changing out of my skinny jean or my sweatshirt. I was just too tired to care about that.
I yawned one final time and drifted away into a deep sleep.
"Come on Emerson!" my girlfriend, Annabel giggled. She was wearing a white sundress that flowed past her knees. Her long, black, corkscrew curls fell back as she laughed. Her ocean blue eyes sparkled in the sun.
"Anna! Wait." I laughed, I was truly happy whenever I was in her presence. I ran and scooped her up into my arms. She laughed and kissed me.
Suddenly, she jumped out of my arms. "Catch me if you can!" she smiled and ran through the meadow.
I chased after her, but as soon as I closed my eyes for a moment, she was gone. "Anna? Anna! Where are you, love?" I called out to her.
"Emerson! Save me!" I heard her scream a blood-curdling shriek.
The sky turned black, it started to pour. The meadow suddenly became dead and lifeless. The beautiful day fell apart. I couldn't find her. I was trapped inside a memory.

My eyes opened, I sat up, screaming. I couldn't shake the awful nightmare. It lingered in my mind. It was haunting me.
The door to the room flew open and the lights blinded me for a moment. "Emerson! Are you okay?" Jeremy asked, sounding very concerned about me.
I nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
Jeremy stood in the doorway, the concerned look didn't leave his face. "Okay... I'll see you in the morning. I'm right here if you need me. Goodnight bro."
He turned the lights off on his way out. I sat in the darkness, sweating. I clutched my knees and pulled them tight to my chest. I breathed slowly as tears fell from my eyes. Go away, unwanted nightmare.

Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.
