My name is John Sunbird
This is the story of how i was murdered.................

1913 October - London

I lived in a giant house full of secrets, this was owned by my mother and father. When my parents mysteriously died my aunt got divorced. my uncle and grand mum kept the house my aunt disappeared, i don't even know if she is still alive. my family still owns a mysterious treasury hidden only when one of the Sunbird's finish there test then they will find the place.
it was a cold,dark and wet Wednesday. i was at the church sleeping when my friend Tony came and waked me up and i went to Tony's house to eat something, people might think that living in a big house would be heaven but trust me my house is not, because my uncle and grand mum beat me up if i didn't do as i was told. They told me to join the army and defeat the Germans but i refused so they beated me with a cane and i was bleeding, screaming in agony once they stop i ran as fast as i can.
the neighbors usually complained then my uncle bribed them to go and find another house.

1913 November -London- my house

i was beated up on Saturday so i ran to the church sneaking through the streets i was lucky nobody noticed because if they did i'll lose everything. in the church the priest cleaned my wounds complaining that i might lose a lot of blood if it did not get treated in a hospital but the priest could not take me so i went to Tony's house, my heart was beating rapidly as i approached Tony's house. I asked tony's mum that can she take me to the hospital she is a kind hearted person so she let me come then the doctors gave an injection that after i fell in to a deep sleep and could not feel a thing so they did everything they could but one of my bones were bent in my arm as i used it to cover myself when i was beated, the doctor left it in but with support so my arm wouldn't break.

1913 December -London

My uncle found out where i used to sleep when i ran out of home, on a Saturday the priest was talking about sacrifice that day my uncle was there the priest knew he was there but i didn't so when i was talking to the priest about what will happen the next time he will go home he might be murdered. Know i wanted to go to the war then my uncle spoke i was horrified he said "John you will no longer come here for safety!" he shouted at the top of his voice terrifying all the people coming in he grabbed me by my hand and squeezed it and pulled me to the house my uncle kept on beating me until he was hungry, he threw the cane to the other side of the house then told me to clean myself up then come for dinner.
- 6 days later_
My uncle wrote complain about the priest kidnapping me the police did not believe this so they asked for some witnesses than my wicked uncle gave one million pounds to them so they arrested the priest and the church land was now owned by my uncle. Tony's mother sent tony to the army when my uncle made her tell him by only saying good things she believed in my uncle only because he said "Your son will look after this country and save the world from this plague" very calmly after he started to cry. he says to Tony's mother that she should be proud of him.

The end of December i ran and joined the army because at home there was no one left my friend joined the army and the priest was arrested no one could look after me.
I heard a loud bang and i saw two tanks firing at the Germans i ran for my life as i could been shot down thinking i was one of the Germans so i ran inside a tall strong man pulled me grabbing my shirt so i stopped he asked me what and who was i, it was shocking but i just said that i want to join the army they asked me a couple of questions then gave me a uniform to put on go to sleep and wake up in the morning to get training but the morning something else was coming new year.
1914 January-June
i was doing training for 6 months in a secret place today i have finished my training and now looking for Tony in the battle field. i was attacked by German troops on the front we have lost 79 men since morning i think i have seen a German in the trenches by the end of that day i found and shot him. At night i got some mail from the priest and my uncle , the letter from the priest said that he was going to get hung today which made me thought that all this time i have been destroying lives for my uncle to the priest. my uncles letter had a surprise for me it said "Hello dear john this was the test the test of our ancestors the competition between religions the battle for life the great treasure was life..
yours sincerely uncle Sunbird.
this message is that life is not fair. Then my life flashed before my eyes and as i walked out i was shot in the head by my aunt.
Now i know why she was crazy and did not want to pass the test so she tried to pass the test by sacrificing so they will not come for her.
