Rick watched as the hand moved nearer to 12, the anxiety was killing him, he couldn’t wait to visit his Grandfather again. Life in Ludibrium was much different to the small-town life at the bottom of the tower. Ludibrium was a controlled society, the citizens packed like sardines in a tin. Rick had never had first hand experience of the town at the bottom of the tower, more commonly known as Omega Sector, but he’d always heard his parents and friends talking about the towns secrets behind closed doors. There it went, the clock struck 12, Rick now being permitted to enter the Tower and travel its many floors.

It was a quick journey down, considering he had a few Rock Scrolls packed in his luggage. As he neared the bottom he could feel strange vibes, and it was from then on that Ricks suspicion would uncover the mysteries and wonders of Omega Sector.

He left the Tower and inspected his surroundings in detail. The atmosphere here so different to Ludibrium. Omega Sector looked like a dull and dismal town. Rick knew his Grandfathers house was a relatively long distance away, so he unpacked some foods and drinks from his luggage, pouring some lemonade into a clean recepticle and drinking it briskly. He travelled uphill for a while and eventually ended up at the summit of Omega Sector, he could see his Grandfathers house in the distance, it hadn’t changed since he was a little boy. A quaint red-brick house enclosed in the typical white face, smoke coming from the chimney, he smelt Grandma’s home-made Cookies from all them years ago. Rick stopped in his tracks, the amount of flashbacks he was having was making him begin to feel uneasy.

He shrugged it off and began to walk again. The gate seemed to be unlocked, the door open slightly too. ‘It’s a warm day,’ he thought to himself, ‘May aswell let a bit of air in.’ But the gate and door were opened for completely different reasons, he went in to see that his Grandparents had been took away, a note on the table read

“Dear Richard,
As you may or may not be aware, paying tax in Omega Sector is a completely compulsory chore. We have been informed you are here for a visit, but you will not be seeing your Grandparents as they failed to pay tax, therefore will be held in a maximum security prison for however long we feel necessary.
However, you may stay with us at Omegas HQ, just by the canal

Yours sincerely,
The Government”

Rick was shocked and began to make his way to the canal, when he realised the note had a PS, he inspected;
“PS: Don’t forget your luggage, on the floor next to the door.”
He glanced over to the door, only to see his luggage. His heart beated unusually fast, he was being watched maybe?
He picked his luggage up, and looked around briefly, nobody around.

Rick headed over to the canal quickly, he saw it immediately.
A dull gray building, towering over him, the vast amount of windows all identical.
A man in a pinstriped suit stood at the door.
“Hello Richard,” Called the man “Let me introduce myself.”

This WILL be my new series.
This idea is the most original I can come up with.
I may have mispelled some stuff, I’m tired – It’s nearly midnight T___T;
Tell me what you think so far, I promise to make it as good as I possibly can. ;D
