Some were straightforward. Like, Explain the water cycle in detail beginning with precipitation. Some were unbelievably complex and would take a month just to explain the basics. Like, what were the ramifications of the Peace Day Treaty? A document that shapes every part of the world and beyond. One paper wasn’t enough to explain it. An entire book couldn’t hold the effects of the Peace Day Treaty. Especially since itself was the largest known document ever written. She knew it was the reason she was allowed to attend this school. Why all of them were allowed here. She knew it kept international violence to a minimum. She knew it was the main reason why the world still existed at all. How was she supposed to lay out all of that? She thought about it before considering, that maybe she didn’t have to. Maybe simple and as few words as possible was the right way to answer. Gwen put her pencil to paper and wrote: The Peace Day Treaty brought the world to peace, and continues to hold that peace to this day.

  With that Gwen was done. She put her pencil down and turned in the final test. She wasn’t the first to finish, but others were still deep in focus, and the older girl instructed, “If you are finished then please exit the room and follow the red line.”

  Hiding her startled jump Gwen did just so. On the floor outside of the class was a red line that she didn’t remember being there. It stretched down and deeper into the school. Following it Gwen arrived at another classroom and stepped inside. There she saw a man with golden blond hair sitting at a desk with only one chair in front of it. He waved her in, “Come in and take a seat, Ms Bell.”

  “Yes, sir.” Gwen nearly tiptoed to the chair and sat.

  “Alright then. I’m Mr Thompson. I’m the Vice Principal here, and no that doesn’t mean anything right now. I’m helping to do the job of interviewing every student that came today. There are many more students than teachers after all.” He explained directly and firmly. “Now, if there isn’t anything else, let’s begin.”
