Week 5: Dystopian Prison


We were making our way through the tunnel, taking us from our homeland to a new place, somewhere to visit... or possibly stay. This tunnel was long and windy, two lanes, and not a single sign that says how much longer we would be in it for. Finally the light broke; we made it through and into this new place. We only knew it as being the best of the best, where all the bottom dwellers went in hopes to become upper society.

Time has passed, I am now adapted to my new society although I do not think it is all that great, my family certainly likes it’s better than I do. We go to meetings daily, learn the new way of life, and have to take these liquid shooters before we leave... no one has ever mentioned what they were though, we just brace ourselves and gulp. Over time my thoughts have become under control, no longer do I think this place is dull but rather amazing, they want us all to think that; this is how they get more to come.

The government here is in total control, tell us when to wake up, where we can work, even where we are able to park our transport. They also take all they can, pricing on goods skyrocketed once we entered that tunnel... but no one seems to complain or question, we can’t! To become upper society we must accept, live this life as if it were great and hope to be taken in. Our transports are now controlled by  trackers, this tiny object allows us to accelerate, forces us to stop, and even self-destructs if we are thinking to cause harm. You see, they control our thoughts, every second they know what we are thinking and use that to only benefit their world.

This upper society has it all wrong you see, they only accept, not question.
