The Alzeriux Pill

Chapter One

Alzeriux. A word that is drummed into our heads every single day. We are constantly reminded of how high and mighty Alzeriux is and how we should thank them for giving us life. I'm surprised there isn't a whole religion devoted to it!

Apparently centuries ago a secret society called Alzeriux created our city. No-one knows why, or how, but they did. Some say it's all an experiment, some say Alzeriux is the government, some even say Alzeriux doesn't exist. A legend made up to explain why we're here. All that was left was a message telling us that they were Alzeriux. A society for humanity, that's their motto. And that they were the ones who created the city. No indication why. No-one could remember how they'd got there or their previous life. Nothing.

It was a peaceful community but now it's deteriorating. Riots, murders, bombings. The city is falling to pieces.
So the government are coming up with a new method to stop this, but the people are wary, they don't trust the government and the government doesn't trust them. They want to reduce crime but this new method whatever it is will do nothing but that. The government uses inhumane methods. Brutal murders, slavery and torture aren't unheard of, I should know. But that isn't relevant right now.

You would think there would of been a massive revolution, but no. The last time someone tried to rebel they were publicly cut up into pieces and the 'body' was fed to the poor.
But you can tell people are getting restless. These small outbreaks of crime are just the beginning.

The city is living in fear. They say it is for the good of the people but there will be no people by the end of it. If there is an end.

Whatever this new method is. It will destroy what is left of our broken society.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
