Chapter One

PRISON PLANET 001

I am one of the thousands of humans whom Earth World has discarded because of their actions with life and death, and the secret lives they lived. The Prison Planet 001, where I exist is for murderer, mass murderers, and killers of their own children. Whether we are defective mentally, physically or both we were found guilty of those crimes, we are here, and they, the law-abiding citizens are there on Earth World. I admit to my crimes and I am accepting my punishment.

I am writing this to explain how I survive in the world of my own kind. This planet or asteroids or whatever it is, is the first of its kind, built to house the murderous pirates that left stranded thousands to die in the far reaches of space. They found me guilty of killing ten men; one or two were to keep them from killing me. The others were because of some lust within me that is appeased only after I took those individuals lives. That hunger still exists within me some fifty years after being here on Prison Planet 001. I believe our confinement here is justifiable and correct; it is just a horrible life to live away from the food that fed my lust.

We are transported on one of the Rangers prison craft, impossible to escape, impossible to move. We are to take items considered non-harmful; these items are a part of the suit and on our back as we approach the injections tubes to the planet surface. No words are spoken, no, good-bye's, no prayers for forgiveness is heard. We all know what to expect upon arrival, there are no weapons only the ones you have in your mind. The land has been cultivated; trees are planted to help clean the air. The atmosphere is contained in a large domed structure that extends eight hundred miles on the planet surface. Out side, the dome there is no atmosphere or gravity. If escape is possible, death will follow. The dome is indestructible and ten feet thick, designed and built by Earth World, and the Ranger force. The Rangers will patrol the area, there will be no communications made from or to the dome prison. No information is available to anyone except the Rangers to the location of this planet, your life is now yours to give or keep.

As we slowed from light speed we see nothing, then a system of planets around a sun appears it looks something like our home world earth. A feeling of relief enters my mind as I begin to think that this is one of my strange and endless nightmares or dreams, and that I am waking, or will be told that this is Earth World my home and not a distance planet. I know that I have committed those crimes, and I remember my trial and the verdict of guilty and given life on murderers Prison Planet 001, those memories are not a dream. It felt safe knowing I am back home.

We are back in the sol system and not some distance world. That relief like feeling left me as we came to a stop in space, but we are not landing on planet earth. We are hovering above the planet and two or there miles below us is the ground, there are people looking up pointing. There is no way to lower us that distance, no stairs, no elevator. I heard someone yell, scream and a loud sound of air rushing. They are dropping us to the planet like rocks. So this is why there is no escape, if you survive from the drop your ability to escape is removed. The prisoner in front of me is a woman, it is hard to see anything in this suit of rubberize clothing and the backpack we wore, but I heard her voice as she screamed and fell.

All restraints are removed from me upon entering the tube and I am let go, dropped. I felt this moment of power within my mind as I stepped into space. My life will be over and this dream will end when I crash to the ground. I know that I am a convicted killer, but the people of Earth World is just as guilty as I, they judge and punished me and the others, while secretly they are removing the unwanted people from their planet and dropping them to their death, this is murder on a large scale. These thoughts rushed through my mind as they are removing our restraints, and while being held in those restraints I did not notice I had no shoes. Why the absence of such small items of clothing. I feel the rush of air against my face, I will not brace for the impact on the ground, I wanted it to end my existence with all my heart, I wanted it to end. Then I noticed that I am not falling fast enough, I am floating down.

It took ten or twenty minutes to fall the two or three miles. In those minutes I realize what a fool I am, the Rangers would never be a part of mass-murder. Remembering what the Ranger was saying as he looked at me, you have a new life, a new beginning. I can see the landing site and the areas made for us to live, grass, trees, no houses, and in the distance large mountains. There is something shinning, catching my eye, calling to me as I turned my body to face in the direction of the light, trying to maintain my directions as my feet touched the ground, I started running, running as fast as I could. I hope no one else saw the light or felt a need to locate the calling I heard. Money is worthless here, only self-preservation, maintaining one existence. My existence became my goal and this light gave me the feeling that it will help me live, protect me, from myself, and give me more than I had on Earth World. She wanted and need me.

With that thought, I ran faster. If anyone is following me, I will kill him or her, this is mine, and she belongs to me only to me. I continue repeating these thoughts aloud. When I first started running, I heard a voice say, there goes another one, lost his mind upon landing. Had someone else seen the light and ran toward it, there were prisoner here before me, could be they are with the light now and will try to stop me, taking my sanctuary, my life. The air, the lack of earth gravity gave me more strength, as I seem to fly toward my life. I looked back and saw no one running with me, and I cannot see the landing site or hear the people, only the sound of my heart as I extended myself toward my goal, the light and that beautiful voice calling me to her.

I have been running for hours toward the light, but I am not tired, I did not stop, I ran and ran until I felt the pain in my feet. Something is cutting me, I must stop and look, I did not want to stop I want the light, and I want her. I could see in my mind the light waiting for me to give me new life. The pain was too much I stopped, looking down at my feet I saw blood...
