I turned to the doctor, feeling a bit lost. He had a cautious expression “If they need you then just go along with it, when you get back let’s start the book alright.”

Though intimidated I stood up and accompanied the guard, walking through the dark auditorium and into the brighter parts of the ship. I remembered the tour that the doctor gave me.

To get to the president’s office we walk to the end of this hall, pass these three doors and take a right then a left then another left and here we are. I found myself facing the president's door with the guard behind me a plaque marked as “President Doctor Mall”, Dr. Tylor’s warmth was fading.

I took a step forward as the door slid down to open, it revealed such a beautiful room. The whole room was sculpted from maple wood, the floor, the bookshelves built into the walls, and the grand desk at the end of the room. The door behind me closed with the guard staying outside.

It didn't feel right for me to stand on such a polished floor, but then I noticed a figure’s turned around standing behind the desk.

“Take a seat”. It was President Mall. Her voice sounded simultaneously harsh but soft. I wanted to meet with the doctor again, to feel warmth again so I took the seat, on an old wooden chair in front of the desk.

“I just want to know what the hell is your problem? I can tell by just looken at you that you’re miserable.” Mall turned to me wearing a mask of a robot and in a long white shower robe.

“Cold cold cold, is all you are” they say with a snide tone. “Well I just wanted to remind you that I own you and to your place.”

Uh? I thought not really registering what they were saying, would the president hurt me? I was neither feeling cold or warm from her, I quietly looked down.

Mall hunched over the desk, suddenly slamming her hands on it, startling me. “Hey Look At ME!” She shrieked, “I run this ship and If you don’t stop acting like that I can throw you out!” I was cold, I wanted to run but I couldn't move.

I felt like there was something I needed to do. What was it?

Then suddenly I felt something scraping inside of me, like a bug clawing out.

“There it is!” Mall got into a defensive position, holding both arms in a cross shape in front of their mask. I was being torn from within, when quickly a tiny orb blasted out of me. I barely saw its movements as It shot towards Mall. The tiny ball soared striking Mall’s arm going through it and ricocheting off the other arm halfway though. The little dot came back to me, hovering in front of me covered in a red liquid. Mall began giggling at first to themselves but it soon blew up, they broke into fit. She held her chest, smearing the liquid all over the perfect robe.

“I un-understand you now G-get ou-!” Mall’s laughter broke her speech “G-go back to your doctor FRAN!”

I quickly stumbled up, knocking over the chair, with the little ball following me close behind. Malls howls echoed throughout the halls as the door opened and shut. The orb rested on my shoulder as I sped walked towards the auditorium.
