Original X-roads-2003

    Center stage, Gare Fackia sang his heart out as he danced all over the stage. He was on top of the world. His new hit was number fifteen, soon due to be on the top five for six weeks. One of the string of hits he had produced over the past four years, over and over he was gold. Nothing could stop him, he winked at a few pretty girls in the audience.
    The city of Kandan was celebrating it’s one hundredth anniversary, Mayor Felicia Kandan watched from her penthouse window. A perfect view of Hanston park. About a thousand had packed in front of the stage, dancing to the music. Felicia smiled at the joy, and turned back around to watch the tv coverage on channel two.
    The crowd lost in the music, drinking, the festivities were all too much, the anniversary was a complete success. Felicia was sure to be reelected this term, in her rightful place. Running the town her great, great, great grandfather founded.
    Mark and his troops had the city surrounded, they waited his command in complete silence. Raising two fingers in the air, Mark motioned forward.
    Black masked soldiers holding automatic assault rifles began pouring into every street, like a swarm they filled the streets as they ran. A giant endless black wave was pouring into the city.
    Gare was entering into the third verse, as his face turned ghostly white…
    Everyone turned to see only black soldiers mowing them down with bullets.
    The camera for channel 2 suddenly turned to the sky, Felica started to get up when her door was kicked open. Ten dark soldiers walked in shooting, her body fell motionless.
