Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

There's a story my mom used to read to me, but that was before the earthquake the separated New York from the rest of the world. That's right, the rest of the world; the government says that everything is normal, and anyone who tries to argue, vanishes with no trace of ever being here, though ever since the earthquake, no phones have worked, no computers, nothing that can work to send communications to anywhere. Anyway the story my mom told me was so fake that it was funny, at least, that's what I used to think. Deep underground is a town where all the good are separated from the bad. Only the purest of heart are able to reach this wonderful world. It is cut off from all of the other humans, and no one knows about it--at this point she would wink at me--not the government, not even the president. Mom would always stop there, I would always respond, "Then how do you know about it?" When I was younger, I actually wanted to know; now it's just a habit to ask, most of the time it's sarcasm. But when I really needed to learn how she knew, she was gone. My mom knew that the earthquake was absolutely not normal. She was persistent, then one day about two months ago she disappeared off the face of the earth. I was alone. Mom and Dad were divorced when I was five. Dad moved to Idaho, but I'm fine; it was eleven years ago. I am sixteen, today actually. The downside is Mom was supposed to help me learn how to drive.
