Negative Consequences: Over population Not enough resources to sustain everyone dictators and criminals will live forever. No one would die of age which means government would be bankrupt because they would be able to afford all the pensions. Everyone would have too work for more years which means that younger generations would have harder finding jobs because the older generation have more experience and they will not retire anytime soon.

3) Theme is people who are close to you can betray you and that you trust trust yourself. Setting: 2030s Mood is calm and is in control because of a moderate rising action. There is not a lot of action which means there is not a lot of excitement. Place Florida.

We find out that the population of the world is low after world war 3 so they try to make lives longer so that the earth can be populated again. We learn about Andy's medicine company and how his life's ambition was to make humans live for 1000 years.

Rising Action Andy's VP Joe finds a cure for age and is the ancient myth of Fountain of Youth. They put claims on the Fountain and they start selling this wonderful product. Andy is happy for doing something that is constructive for the public. All of sudden people start dieying and he is being investigated. Joe pretends to help Andy put actually confines him to a cell. Andy breaks out and breaks into Joe's house. He accidentally breaks a clock and Joe's secret lab and learns about Joe's plan. Andy realizes that the only way to stop this madness is to send three satelite dishes containg high frequency lazer beams from Mount River and to blow up the Fountain.

Climax Andy confronts Joe at Mount River and they have a game of chess to decide who shall prevail. Andy wins, but Joe tries to stab him and is stopped. As Joe laid there dying, he told Andy that Andy was the son of Dictator Boom and that he is a disgrace.

Pain, is what I feel. The burning pain in my head is setting the rest of my body on fire. Even my back is feeling sore after another twenty-four hours in the lab. For the whole twenty-four hours, I sat in my seat, silent with only the sound of chemicals mixing as company. This is my work and I am very compassionate about it. As the President of Klean-Aid Company I help to design health products and help solve medical issues such as cancer. Apart from running this company, I am a scientist who also designs products that are not profitable, but help the human race. The current project is a cure for age. This is the most sought after invention ever since World War 3 ravaged the whole world by destroying 95% of the population on this planet. Cities have been rebuilt and the human race is repopulating, but not fast enough. This is why the cure for age is so important. Many health companies invent new health for wealth, but I do this to help the public and because I do not need the money and that I want to help the human race. This project has busied me for the past few months and I know I have been so close. I have tried all kinds of resources for curing age including the Chinese and their search for a cure for age which resulted in gunpowder. I have looked up all kinds of resources, but to no avail as if the cure has legs and is running from me. I feel like I almost have it, but I just have not been determined enough. Perhaps I am just not destined to be the inventor of this cure and that I should just give up; however, I never give up and I never quit.

In my past few days, I have worked really hard to come up with something and because of this prolonged search. I have not been to my company for sometime and I need to manage it. Luckily, my cousin Joe, a genius, is capable of running this company without my guidance. Anyhow, I need to go back to sleep and rest my weary body.

I feel so much better even though I only slept for seven hours last night, but I am ready to go like always. The morning traffic is surprisingly not so bad, and I get through downtown pretty quickly with my new Bentley. My car is so great that is makes all of the other cars look like they have been bought from Wal-Mart. My company’s headquarters is based in downtown Miami and we own quite a big property.

“Andy! I got an early surprise birthday gift for you,” shouted my cousin Joe as he walked towards me. After saying this, he shook me in the hand and said, “I have created the thing that you dream about by finding a cure for age.”

This information was music to my ears because I never would have suspected that we would find a cure so soon. Inside, I feel like a deer who had somehow managed to kill his predator, a lion. With this technology in our grasp, we can now distribute this amazing product to the general public and to repopulate this world we live in.

“It’s as if the cure wanted me to find it,” said Joe and added, “I was walking alone in the woods on a deserted and almost graveyard like mountain one night, when all of a sudden, I saw an old rabbit lying by a river.” “The rabbit was just lying there when all of a sudden, the passing river created a wave and splashed the rabbit,” said Joe who also said, “The rabbit got drenched, but all of a sudden, the rabbit seemed to suddenly gather energy out of the water.” “The rabbit looked like it was sapping the water like a mosquito sucking blood out of an animal, but the rabbit stopped moving and got up,” exclaimed Joe and concluded,” The rabbit ran around like it was twenty years younger and it really was a magnificent sight,” said Joe.

“So let me get this straight,” I quivered, “You saw this water curing a rabbit of age?”

“That is correct.”

“But, you did no actual testing?”

“I did some further testing on some other animals, and all the results came in positive.”

“We will go collect the water right away and we will start distribute this,” “Nice job cousin, you have done a wonderful deed for the people of the world,” said and I also said, “Okay, Joe you will be in charge of collecting this product and you will start selling this to people around the world.”

3 Months Later...

The sky is dark and the moon is the only thing outside that is shining brightness. I am alone here in this dark woods and I am very happy with what has gone on the last few months with the age cure. The number of people that have been saved by this wonderful water has been enormous. I am really happy to help so many people with their age

problems and it is a great thing, but I am a little worried about Joe. Joe seems so focused on the profit behind this product and does not seem to care about the people. I don’t know what I should do. I feel like I should stop Joe from working on this project, but after all, he is a good worker. Something that caught my attention about Joe is that he seems emotionally dead.

“Andy, something is wrong, shouted someone behind me!”

I turned around and one of my assistants ran up to me. He looked like he had grave news to tell and also looked worried. I can only imagine what he is going to say.

“Sir, something happened,” said the assistant.

“Sir, many people have died from this water!” exclaimed the assistant. “New data has been passed to us and it shows that a quarter of the people that drank the cure all died the same time this morning,” said the assistant.

“But how can that happen?” I ask, “I thought we tested this water and there was no known substance that is harmful.”

“Well, it is obvious that they have some problems and you are now being prosecuted,” the assistant replied. “If I could make a suggestion, you should stay out of sight for now until we make a figure out what is wrong.” My heart froze and almost stopped when I heard this news. I am pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with the cure because I even tested it myself for poisons. Also, we distribute the water away from the mountain to avoid any contaminations with any bad substance around the area. I just don’t know how this can happen. I don’t think this is a natural disaster, more like human caused, but whom? Wait… A thought just came to me. There is only one person that could be behind this, Joe. He was the one to introduce it to everyone and he had plenty of time to mess with something. I just can’t believe that he would do such a thing. Hey! Wait a second, what is this light? Oh no. The police are here to arrest me. “Sir, you should probably leave,” said my assistant who was standing beside me. “No, I will face the consequences head on.” “Put your hands in the air, you killer!” screamed the police. I put my hand up shamefully. Then, all of a sudden, a policeman walks up to me and hits me on the head with a baton like thing. Then, darkness. I sat up in my cot and waited for the next thing to happen to me. The cell around me seemed okay with an open window that let air circulate, a flat hard wood floor under me, and in some reason, a colossal oak desk. I wonder when I would need that, but I really don’t plan to stay here. I do not know what Joe is up to, but I got to find out fast or risk many lives. So, we can rule out telling about the problem. I guess this really leaves me one choice and one choice only and that is to break out of jail and confront him myself. Hmm. I wonder how I am going to get out of here. “So, you are having a brain freeze?” asked the guard. “Shut up!” I shouted. “I do not need your comments.” “Okay, “said the guard. “I just need to transfer you to somewhere else so that someone there can question you.” The sky was bright when we walked out of the jailhouse and into the outside. I had to squint my eyes because the inside of the building was quite dimmed compared with the outside. This was probably another government cut. They turn the light bulbs to low power so that they can save some money. Surprisingly, my hand cuffs and all of my chains have been lifted and I can run and walk easily. Now, I need to wait for the perfect time to make escape. The time has to be when this guard gets distracted with something. Okay… Look, he is talking with someone. Wait for it… Go! I can barely feel my own legs as I ran like tigers were chasing me and I did not stop until I could run no more. Ahh. I feel tired, but I made it out and I can now look for what Joe is up to. The first place that contains his information is probably his house and luckily, I even have a key for. I should probably thank myself for buying Joe’s house which got me this key and this key will help me stop Joe in his tracks. Two hours later… I am now standing in front of Joe’s huge house and I am very nervous about going inside. The study is probably a good first choice. The front door creaked a little when it opened and I quickly walked inside. The area by the door was quite large and contained suits of armour that have been polished countless times. There are also some human anatomies that hung from the ceiling and from the look of things; he has a small dusty library that may have spiders all over the place. When I took a close look at the whole entire room, I concluded that he has not used this room for some time or he just doesn’t care how it looks. The elegant table before Joe moved in is now covered with filth and the floor is scratched and looks like a hundred years old. This room is definitely not the happiest place on earth. Now it’s time to go into his study. His study is around the back of the house so I walked briskly there. Hey, look I reached his study and the door’s even unlocked. Wow! He sure doesn’t believe in security because if he did, he would have secured the place. He does know I have access to this place so why would it be unlocked? He is probably over confident. His over confidence is the thing that always leads to his downfall. He thinks he is the best at everything and that he can do anything in any given time. I remember when we were applying for University and we had to do our testing. He thought that he could just go through the test easily, but he didn’t. In the end he still made it to the university he wanted to go, but that is not the point because his over confidence will kill him this time. I am now flipping through files on his computer and checking his documents, but so far, no crime information. I guess I have to keep looking. Wait, what was that? Sabotaging the World was this file. Hmm. I am going to take a look at this to see what is going on. Wow! This file is amazing! It contains information on some neat technology, but the things this file is about is bad. Okay, so this file has lots of information on Joe’s scheme. His plot seems to involve nano machines that are poisonous and that they are released into the brain. Once they are in the brain, they can be activated very quickly and will immobilize the brain killing it. Death is unavoidable and is very painful. From the looks of things, the cure is perfectly fine and that Joe released these machines in the water. He sure is a lucky guy to stumble on this cure, but it's a shame that he has to use it for uncivilized ways. Now, thanks to Joe, this water may never be used again of cures. I wonder where this water came from. Wait... I remember now. There was a rumour that an explorer found the Fountain of Youth back in the 1500s in the Florida Area. I think the reason Joe managed to find this. He probably went searching in this area and happens to stumble on it. He got lucky once, but no this time. I think is it is time to put a stop on this madness and bring back peace to the world because many people depend on it and they will die if I don’t stop him. The first thing I got to figure out is where to find him. According to his computer, all of the small machines that are in the human bodies right now are activated by three radar dishes on the mountain where the cure came from. I wonder how he managed to stick the satellites up there for months without anyone realizing. The only way to destroy the dishes is hack the code and to put in the memory card. Well, there is no time to lose so I am moving out. I think I will steal the old car by the front of his house. After all, there is a chance that Joe’s cars might belong to me so I am not risking them. I am now on the mountain and I think I feel Joe nearby. I can sense it and I can feel his presence here. Luckily, this area has been closed off and no one is around to see me. What really surprises me right now is that the police never caught up to me. They probably didn’t think I got out to far so they are taking their time. In the mean time, I have got to find Joe and he is pretty good at hiding. I should probably watch out. So where is he? I guess I will head towards the top of the mountain where the dishes are. The journey up the mountain was difficult. The path I took was steep and rocky and I had to be a monkey to climb up, but I had to do it so that I can get up here faster. I now see the dishes appear in front of me and it is strange because I never saw it before. Joe must have hid it well so that many people could not see it. Whatever, I need to tear it down now. “Why the hurry, cousin?” asked Joe. I replied saying, “I will take you down!” “Wow, I am so scared right now,” said Joe. “You should be because I am going to stop you,” said I.    “Okay let us see,” said Joe and added, “One on one.” I said,”I can still take you down using by using the environment around me.” “I can pick up sticks and hit you with them or I can throw rocks at you.” ” Which ever one will stop kill you.” “Okay,” said Joe. He charged me immediately and hit me in the ribs with a flying kick. I ran away towards the trees. I don’t know how I am going to get out of this mess, but I have to. Joe is right behind me and is gaining on me. I must think of something to distract him. I see a rock on the ground and that should do it. “Hey Joe!” I exclaimed. “Surrender!” “Why?” asked Joe. “Because I got a rock,” said I and added, “It is very sharp so you should watch out.” “It might cut you if you get any closer.” “YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” shouted Joe hysterically. “HAA-… oww!” It was quite a scene because Joe was having one of his heart seizures from laughing so hard and that meant I won. Watching him die on the other hand was pretty nasty because not many people saw someone die in front of them. Joe slowly stopped moving. I went over and from his wallet took the memory card. What was ironic about this situation is the fact that Joe is a certified doctor who is skilled in combat, but he died from a heart attack caused by someone who is a nerd. I have put the memory card inside the satellites and thanks to my hacking class I took in Asia. I guess this is the end of finding an age cure for me. This time is just way too much for me and I don’t think I want to go through all those tests again. Some of things I learned from this whole process are that the only person you can really trust in the world is yourself. Beside me, the spring wind blew marking a new beginning in my life. This is something I will never forget. “Well, it is obvious that they have some problems and you are now being prosecuted,” the assistant replied. “If I could make a suggestion, you should stay out of sight for now until we make a figure out what is wrong.” My heart froze and almost stopped when I heard this news.
