Tony

As I get pulled into a room, I see recordings of all of Clashings. Each bubble floating around had recordings of the people of Clashings. I saw Lyndda and Lynor outside helping some animales. I saw Sarah talking to a bear that looked like he jumped into a volcano and came out as a hard rock. I bet when he cries, lava comes out of his eyes. Mental note: Ask the bear if he cries tears or lava! The only person I did not see was Sam. Eh, I bet she's fine!

     Gorduoy smirks and happily asks "So what do you think? I made it like 100 years ago. Don't ask me how..it'll take forever to explain to you."

     I give him a questionably look and ask "Why? Do people care about privacy on this planet?

    Gorduoy gives him a confused look and says " Pri..vacy, what does that mean?"

     I sigh and exasperatedly say "Everybody has secrets. Some people don't want their deep darkest secret to be known to people. You wouldn't want the public to know about you recording them on a daily basis. So this planet doesn't have any laws on privacy?"

     Gorduoy nods his head and say "No, everything I do is for the safety of Clashings. Even the smallest detail could help in a situation. Your planet has cameras everywhere and records everything. Everything you use from the cell phones to the TV records what you do. You just don't know it. Who do you think made the small chip? Yes, that's what you humans call it. A chip that connects to the camera to listen and record everything you say or do. It certainly wasn't the people of earth.

     I stand there in shock and ask "What do you mean we didn't create a.."

    Gorduoy doubles over in laughter and says "All of that technology you humans use on earth was created on Clashings.

    I try to take deep breaths to stop myself from getting angry. I lividly ask "Why don't you use that technology for Clashings? Why give it to us to use on earth?"

  Gorduoy smiles and snidely says "We don't use that kind of technology because it destroys people which destroys worlds. Also the leaders on your planet wanted it. They didn't want to feel "left behind" so Clashings gave them my technology and told them of the end result. They still wanted it. Our planets made a deal that Earth gets the technology and Clashings get to intercede on certain things on earth.

    I quizally say "Like what things..?"

     Gorduoy laughs and says " Oh you know..small things like replacing certain presidents with Clashing's people. Replacing some government people with Clashings people. The biggest thing was putting my technology on that world and also just watching most of Earth moves. You know small things.."

    My mind was a whirling mess. I blankly look him in the eye and ask "What do you mean that you watch us?

    Gorduoy blatantly says "I need to watch how you humans progress with my technology. It started with your Forefathers. Let me tell you...I could never understand how they wanted freedom on certain things, but didn't give those rights to certain people. You humans baffle me."

     My brain was in hyper overdrive. I say "Wait you met the Forefathers? How do you watch people back on Earth? Do you know how I would be able to get back on Earth?"

     Gorduoy smirks and says "Enough with the questions. I will answer them in due time. As you keep working for me, then I will slowly answer them for you but that requires trust. I let you know about the recordings as a way to place my trust in you. Now it's your turn. Later this week, I want you to go somewhere with me."

How you feel about Gorduoy?

Was this chapter shocking?
