The Boy Who Defended The World

The date is November 23, 2022, driving a 2013 Honda Odyssey home after a four and a half hour shift of working, Charlene was sitting beside his dad as they were talking about the current state of Canada and the weird laws that were being implemented.

Charlenes full name was Charlene Trugùrè Mkeanza, he had orange hair that went down to just below his chest, brownish green eyes, facial hair that wasn long, a face that looks like its always disappointed, and a relatively normal body shape with the only difference being that he was a little more muscular than the average 15 year old.

Even though his given name is Charlene, he almost never goes by it, he goes by Charlie unless its a more formal occasion. As mentioned before, Charlene is 15, turning 16 in December, he had gotten his learners in May of this year. Living in Alberta, Canada, Charlene had gotten his first actual job working at a fast food restaurant that specialized in making sandwiches.

He lived on a farm a half hour outside of Edmonton, his daily routine included doing some chores in the morning and at at night, the chores were feeding and watering pigs, doing some dishes, cleaning the table and counter, and occasionally making some food for his family.

Charlene lived in a house that was located on a hill with a massive yard surrounded by a six foot tall fence made of boards, it had two floors and an attic that was used mainly for storage. Located on the main floor was three bathrooms, one of which was in his parents bedroom, four rooms not including the bathrooms, two of which were occupied, a living room with the TV, a dining room, and the kitchen.

The basement had one bathroom, four storage rooms, two rooms meant for living in, and a gun room. Living in the house was Charlene, his dad, his mom, his sister and her one and a half year old son, and his 18 year old brother.

His dad was turning fifty in December, he had black hair that he kept only a centimetre to two centimetres long, black and gray facial hair that was in the Van Dyke style, the same brownish green eyes as Charlene, and he stood at a height of six feet.

Currently, the time was 8:30 PM, Charlene was just rounding one of the last curves before he got home when a deer jumped out of the trees beside the road. Slamming on the breaks and swerving, Charlene passed around the deer without incident as he and his father had turned pale.

Breathing heavily, Charlene looked at his father as he and asked jokingly, ”Do you think that I could pass my drivers test with my current driving skills? ” That caused both of them to laugh and the fear and nervousness to dissipate.

”I think that Ive driven enough for today, Ill let you drive since you have much more experience. ” Saying this as he opened the door and got out of the drivers side of the vehicle, Charlene and his father switched places and they started driving home again after staying on the side of the road for a few more minutes.

Having just come out of a frightening situation, Charlene had forgotten that his father had heart issues. Having been to the hospital multiple times, his dads heart had also started beating faster and harder, causing him to start to have a heart attack.

Clutching the steering wheel with one hand and his chest with the other, his dad wasn paying attention to the road, and this caused him to not notice the moose that had started to cross the road but had stopped to look at the car that was coming, even Charlene didn notice the moose since he was busy looking at his dad with concern.

Charlene had just looked at the road and saw the moose when he was about to alert his dad, but it was too late, they hit the moose. Everything that happened next was a mystery as Charlene lost consciousness just after impact.

Four months later…

In a hospital ward in the University of Alberta hospital, a woman who appeared to be in her fifties was watching over an emaciated Charlene. Charlene had scars all over his face along with a bald head and clean shaven face, even his eyebrows were gone.

The biggest scar was a scar that ran from the top of his left ear all the way down and across to the bottom right side of his face and down below the chin. Almost like his face had been cut in half, his nose was also gone along with his left eye.

It was now March 25, 2023, another world war had started between three of the largest forces on Earth. USA, Russia, and China. Life had been terrible for Charlenes family after the accident, it was only made worse by the fact that the Third World War had started.

The woman in who looked like she was in her fifties was Charlenes mother, who had actually turned 49 last year. She had gray waist length hair, a pair of black glasses, and a face full of wrinkles. She was wearing a pair of black sweat pants and a dark blue sweater.

There were bags under her eyes as she stroked her sons bald head, there were traces of crying, but they weren very noticeable. As she was looking at her sons scarred face, she saw that his eyes started to flutter, and a quiet beeping had started to come from the few machines that were hooked up to him. They were alerting the doctors who have been monitoring him the last four months.

Slowly opening his eyes, Charlene saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, it took him a few seconds to realize who it was, it was his mother. Holding back her tears, his mother would have hugged Charlene if it wasn for the fact that she knew it would probably be harmful to his body.

Trying to lift his arm, Charlene felt that he was unprecedentedly weak, he could barely lift a finger, turning his head with an enormous amount of effort, he saw that his arm that used to be large and vascular was now extremely thin like that of a tree branch, there were also many tubes connected to it.

Starting to struggle because of the unfamiliar situation and place, the monitors that were connected to Charlene started beeping faster and faster while also getting louder. Some doctors finally arrived after a little while and started pacifying the struggling Charlene.

It wasn working, so they sedated him just enough to cause him to stop struggl
