Lives Of The Unknown Book 1: The Legend of Andrew Lockeford Read Online Free

a lovely song. Even when
something like this did happen, he was always expecting something
more out of it, so he was continuously dissatisfied. At junior
college, there were less peers that Andrew could befriend than in
high school, and no one seemed to talk to each other outside of
school hours unless they were friends in the first place. He knew
he wasn’t alone—there were plenty of people at the college who
became depressed after losing most of their friends. However,
seeing that Andrew hardly had a social life and spent most of his
time in front of his computer, he certainly felt alone. He wouldn’t
talk through the Internet—he was strictly a face-to-face person
because he was afraid of losing touch with the human world. Too bad
the human world is already so attached to the Internet that it
would benefit Andrew to talk to someone online.
    At Pomona, Andrew
has more friends than he did back at Searles, but his social life
was still dead due to all the tasks he demanded to take. His
validation stated, “I need to think about my future. If I don’t,
then I might have as well not have gone to college at all.” The
young adult plans on getting a Ph.D. in Engineering, even though
that would mean spending several more years of his life in this
same state. If successful, he would be working his ass off at some
company to earn money for his family—if he had one. Andrew wants to
have two children, one of which would be a boy who wanted to be
just like his father—who would have to keep worrying about his future. It’s just a
big cycle—a cycle of dreams and ideals that say one must be
“successful” to be content.
    Andrew doesn’t truly
want to be successful, but rather to live through life without as
many problems as possible. Money always seemed to be a problem. He
doesn’t want to live this cycle: enduring childhood and getting
good grades and applying to hundreds of jobs and working until you
become too old to enjoy the things you wanted most in
life.
    Andrew wants a change. A massive
change that would influence and benefit everybody, get them out of
this cycle as well.
    Luckily Andrew wasn’t insane enough to
make this massive change himself, considering how most people don’t
appear to enjoy accepting change and would hate him forever for
doing something like that.
    All Andrew could hope for was for the
world to endure some sort of apocalypse, where the people who
survived worked together to make something better out of the world.
Although, it is entirely possible that the survivors would turn
everything back to the way it was, maybe even worse.
    When the latest “doomsday” was set on
December 21, 2012, Andrew saw this as a possibility for his dream
to come true. No more celebrities. No more fast food. No more
Internet. Many people would cry in horror from losing these things,
but Andrew didn’t mind. All he wanted was to keep the cars—or at
least the bicycles—as well as the landscape so he could explore the
world. Unfortunately, the closer the date became, the less likely
it seemed the apocalypse would happen. There was nothing in the
world or anything surrounding it that looked like it was going to
end soon. Everyone was just getting ready for Christmas like they
do every year.
    On December
20 th ,
Andrew drove his car nearby some mountain several miles away from
Searles, hiked up the mountain, waited for the sunset, and screamed
at the top of his lungs once the big orange light in the sky
disappeared. He didn’t care who heard, yet at the same time he did.
He just felt that there were very few places in the world where he
could express his emotions without judgment.
    And so it didn’t happen. The world
didn’t end, and everything stayed the same as it always would.
Andrew didn’t change much either, although you can bet he was
rather disappointed. He didn’t think about killing himself,
however; he felt empty, not depressed. He decided to keep on living
in this world, not caring whether the
