-Knox-
I woke up to Quail yelling. Of course he wasn't yelling as much as frustratedly speaking loudly.
“Shut up Quail” I said “can't you wait until at least five”
“It is 6:30 now and I waited as long as I could. Today is the day.”
I was still only half awake at this point so I couldn't for the life of me remember what he was doing. I rolled over in my bed but I had slept so close to the edge that I fell off of my bunk onto the floor.
I escaped the mass of blankets and pillows that had fallen to the floor with me, and got up. I immediately noticed that he was on his old textural, writing his programing.
“You have been on that thing for the last 8 months, are you done yet?”
“As a matter of fact I am almost done. I have to be don in the next five minutes so that we can go.”
“Go where?” I asked and then I remembered. “Oh my gosh that is today”
I threw of my pajamas and reached into my closet and pulled out the only pair of slacks that I owned. I tossed my only nice shirt on and ran downstairs to put my shoes on.
I put some bread into the toaster and combed my hair. The toast popped and I grabbed it and ran out the door.
…
After the car ride I was so sore, I fell out onto the asphalt when we got out. Quail helped me up, but it was kinda embarrassing. There where so many people I had to hold onto the back of quails jacket so I wouldn't get lost. Of course , if I did get lost I’m 15 and can take care of myself, but if quail got lost that would be a different story. He is a lot less mature than me even though he is older than me by 6 years. If he got lost he might stay lost.
It was really ridiculous how much I wanted to see it. How much everyone wanted it. to see what was inside. But it wasn't the childish yearning for the toy that we couldn't have, it was the exciting feeling that we are about to know that we are going to find something unimaginable. Something for everyone to find intriguing. Something that is so old that none of us have ever seen it.

“Good morning friends, neighbors. We are here to open the time capsule. I have been waiting for my whole life just as you have.” the mayor of our home in new asia exclaimed. Everyone in new asia was there there were about. Almost everyone. There were over 8,000 people here. we were all crammed into the large park. We were waiting. It would only be open for 24 hours. The mayer turned the handle and the box creaked open. The mayor let out a gasp and there was a moment of silence. Then he quietly asked into the microphone, “Knox Porter, would you please come up here.” I was shocked for a moment before I let go of quails jacket and walked to the front. The only thing in the box was a letter on the bottom. It was addressed to knox porter. It was addressed to me.
