There was something shaking in the back room; the creatures from above were here. Tom knew aliens exist, but not even his best friend would believe him. The government knew about them, but they lie. What if people knew that these were real? What if we could actually meet these creatures? Would they kill us or live with us as one? Tom believed the former; aliens were here to abduct humans and the government is keeping it a secret. But something inside told him they existed, a feeling he could not explain. Dark and scary, ordinary explanations would not cut it. He would need proof, proof that only the CIA has. Tom had gone to the CIA before, only to get prescribed medicine. But they were real, and Tom would not give up until he could prove it.
This is really lame, I know. But I'm listening to Alien's Exist and I decided to write about it.

"So what is the answer?" exclaimed the teacher. Scott was sleeping so he couldn't reply. The whole class laughed and made funny jokes about him. History was never his strong subject. He never cared about major events such as the 20 Year War, Warsaw Pact II, Middleastern War, Trans-Canadian Compact, etc. Only one event was on his mind in history, and that was the same event that was on everyone's mind. Nobody could forget the horrible years between 2055-2062. The years which the AI Human War took place. Computers finally became, strong enough, smart enough, and powerful enough to take over the human race. For 7 years the war was being pulled on. The human race was no match for the superleviathan computers. After about 4 years of fightning, the human race was dying down so the World Government decided to build cities underwater in the 3 major oceans of the world. By 2062, the surviving 2 billion out of a total 12 billion have moved into these acuatic cities deep under water. Since then, the human race has adapted to the changing environment. Scott, as well as 4 billion other people, are living safe from the massive radiation on the surface. Recent scientific probes have found frozen oil chunks in a place that used to be called Death Valley, the hottest place on earth. Inside these Aquatic cities, life pursues in a normal fashion. Everyday, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian districts send their daily data to the Head Command Facility on Mars, where the smartest, supergenius, intellectuals reside and analyze the results. The Head Command Facility also sends probes to the earth's surace for data. However, most of this is unkown to the average person like Scott. The only thing that he has to worry about is to get to Quantum Atomic Engineering class on time.
I'm thinking of calling this novel
"2121" This is mainly an introductory paragraph explaining the situation. The novel will most likely take place in the aqautic cities and in the Head Command Facility on Mars.

Technical sergeant Cade Lewis stumbled through the dense forests of Valisheem, his breath fogging againist his face mask. Taking one last look at his ship receding into the growth, he turned and set out to find the vessel and get out of there. After a mere two minutes of walking, Cade had soaked the clothes he wore under his shirt and was panting heavily. Tech sergeants weren't normally required to be fit or to go outside the ship except in extreme circumstances. This was one of those circumstances.
Most of the scouts in the ship had come down with a strange virus probably due to the catastrophie that characterized all scouting quarters. Unfortunately, the only one of the crew who could understand what he saw enough to assess the situation and make an accurate report of the vessel's location was Cade. Previously, Cade had taken pride in the fact that he was relatively fit for a tech sergeant. However, now he was beginning to question his own abilities. The suit was supposed to compensate for the increased gravity, high humidity, and boiling temperatures. However, there was only so much that the whirring machinery inside of the suit could do to accomidate a human.
Suddenly, Cade felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise moments before his face was planted in the muddy ground by a large, heavy, alien creature. Its long nails tore easily through the suit as its teeth searched for his flesh. Cade reached frantically for his disrupter but could not grab ahold of it as the creature viciously tore through his skin. Cade knew he was alone. He would get no help. That was one of the first things that they said before they threw him out the door. No one else had been willing to go outside the protection of the ship and now he new why. Being the new man in the company tended to have its disadvantages. Moments before he blacked out, Cade thought, "I should have enlisted in the ISCPU."
I know it's not that great but please bear with me. It's not exactly a paragraph either but it's the closest I could get in such a short space.
