Day Four

My whole class went silent when it was time to reveal the applicants. We all watched in awe as our teacher played the announcement on our smart board. They started with the 3 year olds and eventually made its way to the 10 year olds. I was staring off into space that point thinking about all the people that would soon disappear from society, when suddenly a familiar name was called. It was my brothers. I was in complete shock, no way could he have been picked. I asked the teacher to be excused and immediately ran home. Apparently my brother was already excused from class to watch it at home, and when I walked through that door my life changed forever. My parents were a little worried but wanted to support his decision, and my brother was bouncing off the walls with excitement. He rushed to his room to start packing as I went to my room to start contemplating if this was really happening. I got a message from my friend no one in school was picked, apparently the old community librarian was chosen for the 72 year olds, but other then that my brother was the only one from our community getting involved with this experiment. I need to think about all this... will I ever see my little brother again?
