Justice

Justice

A Chapter by BrynnaW.

                Beginnings don’t exist. Not in this world, not in any world. There is simply a starting point in which the most significant events swell to the surface and, for the world, this was about to happen. No one was aware, they hardly ever are until reality comes knocking at their door with a gun. A young man was that trigger-happy gun ready to reveal to the world that they were all unprotected, that they were all exposed. Why he wished for a demonstration, he did not know but he was mere seconds away from unleashing unknown hell upon the world. He was ready; fingers posed over the keys of his computer and codes streaming across the screen to make him aware of every threat coming his way. A smiled curled at the ends of his lips, knowing that within the hour the world would change and, within months, the world would be tearing itself apart brick by brick. Humanity would destroy itself. He would start with the President of the United States and get back what rightfully belonged to the People. The world would know of the secrets that had been so long ignored, that he knew for sure. He believed this was the right thing to do, he thought he could return the power to the People. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

<p>Wow… This is it… The <i>beginning</i>. Of course you don’t know what’s to come but, don’t worry, you’ll see soon enough. My name is Henry Ace Kallen; no reason for anonymity, you’ll find out who I am. Please, though, call me H.AC.K. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I have made my way into the systems with the highest level of security. <i>Your</i> computer, dear President and fellow workers. You wouldn’t be reading this message otherwise. I have to admit, though, it really wasn’t easy to get in and probably won’t be easy to get out... Unless you’re me of course. Unfortunately, my friends, there is no security that can keep me out.<p>

<p>As you are reading this, you are providing me an advantage to do whatever I wish. I will be sure not to waste this precious time and I thank you for that. Of course, to be polite, I will tell you exactly what I’m doing. Well, right now, I am deleting everything off of your screen, as well as everyone else’s, and copying the files onto my computer. My codes are filling in the blanks so it’ll be useless to try to find what information I have taken. Don’t try to find me, you can’t. Oh, and believe me when I say I’m not a terrorist. No, no, no, I’m not that at all. I am a proud citizen of the United States. The only thing I want to do is fix our dear President’s mistakes and that <i>won’t</i> be easy. Obviously, the President would never admit to any of these so called ‘mistakes’ so I won’t bother to ruin the surprise, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. So, to all police and investigators, good luck. I already have a head start but, by all means, come and find me. After all, it is your duty… Until proven otherwise, that is.<p>

<p>The FBI, CIA, and the police are probably trying their hardest to find me by now so you’re not giving me enough time to explain myself. I <i>thought</i> as good American citizens that you might want to know more but that was your choice. This was fun, we should do it again sometime.<p>

<p>This is how it all begins. Goodbye my government friends,

Henry closed his laptop with a rueful smile paying upon his lips as he left the café; his laptop tucked protectively under his arm. The people around him walked slowly as they talked on their phones or the pieces clinging to their ears, they had no idea who was gliding past them, unnoticed and unrecognized. A criminal without a face, just a name, that's what he was. He could see a police man holding a radio to his ear while driving past. No doubt, he received the news and was now looking for possible suspects. Trying not to attract any attention, he adjusted the laptop to make it less noticeable on the opposite side of his body. Then, as Henry sipped the warm coffee in his hand, the whipped cream melted to a frothy slosh, he noticed that the TV's in a display window were already showing the news reporting about the hack into the President's files. Breaking news, that's what they called it. They said it was a disaster and a threat to national security. Could the person be plotting against the United States?  Was this attack motivated by recent political events? While a crowd began to form around the display, Henry marched on, his head shaking as if he was disappointed. These reporters had no idea; this hack would stand for something else entirely, even if they wanted to remain blissfully ignorant. This hack was for overdue justice.

A wonderful start! gets into the action right off the bat, but keeps it far enough from the details to make it mysterious. the HTML coding is a wonderful idea that i would never have thought of. a wonderful way to draw people in.

This was amazing and I loved how you introduced it with the whole text in an HTML code thingy (I'm not very good at computer speech). This sounds very very interesting and I can't wait to read more!

I love the HTML format you're using!

It makes this book seem unique.

(I should've looked at this earlier...)

The lead-in is quite a lot for making a simple point, yet is still interesting to see. I'm thinking that you could start with regular text and then have it degrade into code up to three paragraphs at the most. The cafe is a nice visual, as just the other day I was at Starbucks and wondering if the guy across from me was hacking. So far this is a well done chapter though a bit too short of content. But don't let my opinion stop you --keep hacking away at it!
