Welcome to My Life

Inspired by Simple Plan's song of the same name.

Prologue:

Jenny had forgotten what it felt like to smile. She felt like the bad times far outweighed the good and that there was little reason to continue. Her mother's mission was to create a robot who could simulate a teenage girl's life and protect the planet from any threat. The thought made Jenny sizzle with anger, how could her mother know what it was like to be a girl in today's age where looks and status mean more than anything else?

He rounded another street corner and entered the field in the center of town where he found a figure kneeling down. Something silvery was in his hand. Instantly Brad knew what it was. The figure looked at him with a ghostly gaze. Was he too late? The lightening crackled through the air before shattering the silence. The figure rose and stepped towards him. This was it…
