I wake up: "Nngh. What time is it?" Then I realize, "It's summer vacation! And my birthday!" My mom says, "It's 6 am. Be quiet, Luke." "Either way, I'm awake. I might as well make the most of it." "Play with that radio of yours. The one you were gifted from that friend of yours." That radio is a gift from my friend, Amy. I got it last year, during the holidays. It was the last gift she gave to me before she left the surface in an accident. It works really well, and I use it to broadcast anything I want, really. 2 hours later, I come down and have a special breakfast. My siblings, 'Livia (my older sister) and Will (My younger brother) are shooting daggers at me with their eyes. My dad walks in. "Who's ready to open some presents?" It's a rhetorical question, so I just laugh. When I see the presents, I am beaming. "The latest game in my favorite video game franchise? A- NO way. Is that the computer I've been dying to have for three years? I love you all." I notice 'Livia and Will aren't here. "Where are your other kids, Mom and Dad?" "We don't know." I hear a loud crack coming from my room. I rush there. Will and 'Livia are standing over my radio-or what remains of my radio. "OUT OF MY ROOM. NOW." As they bolt, I look at the radio. It is destroyed beyond repair. On the outside, it looks normal, but the inside is wrecked. I lock the door to my room, sobbing silently. I try the radio out of desperation. "'Hello. I hope you can hear me.' Anyone. Please. Can you hear me?" After agonizing seconds, a crackly but recognisable voice comes on. "L-Luke, is that you? It's me, Amy."
