This story will take place before my film that I just made. It is about the training that my character has to go through in order to be able to defuse the Rubix bomb that she is on a mission for. Through a series of successful and failed attempts the true test is in a real life situation. At the beginning my character is learning how to shorten her movements of the cube so that she can cut down time. It seems easy at first but then the time limit shortens throughout the training. Failing, succeeding, failing, succeeding. There is hope that all of us can accomplish something so difficult. Even when there are lives at stake.

My palms were sweating as I opened the door. The room was dark and eerie. I heard the ticking noise growing louder and louder. I had one job to do. I have been through the toughest training and now it will finally be put to use.
There it was sitting motionless on the table. It stared right into my eyes. I knew I was ready to take this challenge. As I was moving my hands in intricate patterns time seemed to be speeding up. I had fifty seconds left. Quickly my hands moved, left, right, up inverted, down, left.
My palms were still sweating; I started to become even more nervous. I started to picture myself in a calmer environment to compose myself. The colors finally started to come together. I had almost completed the job. The ticking became louder and faster. My heart started to race. All I could think about was finishing the puzzle.
Tick. Flip. Tick. Twist. TICK. TURN. TICK. FLIP. The puzzle was almost complete but time was almost out. It is down to the wire and there is no room for failure. There are 10 seconds left. I am almost finished. I can do this. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
–This is an epic tale of problem solving and pride. It is an experience and moral lesson for never giving up. There are twists and turns, anger and disappointment, success and realization, which all lead up to a grand finale. The character in this tale does not have a heart and I am just a pawn in its little game.
–The enemy was sitting motionless on my kitchen table. It stared right into my eyes. I knew I was ready to take this challenge. As I was moving my hands in intricate patterns I started to realize how this monster worked. The enemy moved very quickly, left, right, up inverted, down, left, in fast patterns.
–All of a sudden my brain became a twisted mold of colors and combinations. My hands were cramping as I turned the cube in different directions. The beast does not sleep until each cube is placed in its right position. The mastermind and inventor, Enro Rubix, created this monster in 1974. There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different ways to defeat it and I put myself in a position to finally attempt the Rubix Cube.
–I knew that I could not give up and magically one side was put together. My palms became sweaty and it slipped right out of my grasp. Fortunately, my cat like reflexes kicked in and I saved it from falling in the grass. After grabbing it, I rhythmically started moving my hands in a pattern. Soon 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different ways seemed like nothing and I had finally defeated this geometric monster.
