Written In Stone
I was born free. A free little girl. But that all changed because of who we are. We are humans, and humans destroy. We run rampant and take what we want while forgetting what we need. But worst of all, we think the world is ours. And like a dog chasing cars, it is our instinct.
The higher power at hand, saw this as a problem. They thought that, due to poaching and over populating, humans have become the limiting factor to all life that dares to walk upon this horrid earth.
So in this epidemic, the higher power sought out a solution. And in good time, they found one.
The solution was order.
Order, has always been there. In the background of this world filled with chaos? Maybe. But still there. And with this new order, laws changed. Homes changed. Cities changed. Lives changed.
At the age of 22, all citizens are required by law to apply for a spouse. After a period of two months, the pair are forced to marry. On the "special night", the newly weds are expected to try there best at creating a child.
After three weeks of waiting to find out wether a child was conceived or not, the couple receives a letter. If the woman does not become pregnant, they are given an extension of five days. After another three weeks, the couple is fined for every follow up day until she becomes pregnant.
No more children are allowed, so that over populating isn't a problem. If there is another child conceived, that child will be taken away at birth and given to a family that cannot have one. If there is no family available to receive the child, then the child will be put to death.
This is the order we have taken upon civilization. Take a look at it. This is the world we live in. Take a look at it. This is the life I live. Take a look at it.
This is the price we pay for being human. And like a dog chasing cars, it is our instinct. We instinctively desire. We instinctively love. We instinctively hope. We instinctively fight.
And it was only a matter of time before we instinctively rebelled.
A/N So this is my new story. I hope to be updating it frequently, but I have end of school tests coming up. Thanks for reading this prolog.
