Lost..this is how I would describe the world right now.Weird enough, people still talk about how it was different before, years ago.When they talk about the past,their sentences become small whispers,similar with telling secrets .Dreaming become an obsession for me, crazy thoughs going thru my brain ,giving the electric impulse that my body needs as a source of medication.
Being in a deep sleep, I was still able to hear heavy steps on our corridor,a sign that 04:30 is close.Every morning, every day of the week just continuously repeats.Not even one day of freedom is allowed.We don't have that now.Not here at least.
Suddenly a loud sound got me awake, meaning I have 15 minutes to get ready.As I open my eyes, tired and a bit dizzy ,I quickly get up to get my bed sorted for the morning check. Gray sheets, combined with the white walls and the metal bed frame can give the feeling you are in a hospital.
As steps are getting louder, sending chills thru my body, a tall silhouette shows
"Is everybody ready?I don't have all day long!' shouting loud, officer Lee leaves immediately.
Following, everyone goes to the "Dinner".That's the rule,every town has an officer that rules.You are not allowed to do anything by yourself.Our breakfast usually contain pills, medication. I quickly take mine, following the crowd of people.Walking in the town a smell of rotten hits every time.Old buildings, now ruined by the unforgiving time and wheater, with no sign of life, no color,just gray ,muddy and forgotten.
After walking for a couple of minutes we are all guided to the meeting room, a woman standing at the entrace gets everyone to their seats.Lucky for me,Kilye,my best friend,ends up sitting next to me.
"This is horrible, why did they got us here ?" shes asking ,anger building up on her face.
"Calm down,Ky,sit down" I try to whisper to her.
"They 're the ones causing this.Because of them we have to live like this, Maddy!You blind or something?What Lana said is real!The world was different before, people had freedom!"
"How do you know,Ky?!Lana said a lot about it, but the reality is different.She told us to look for it but how can we look for "the paradise" if we don't even know where to begin or if is real!"
"I tell you one thing, one of us gotta be brave enough to try at least.." ky said, sadness being written of her face, her brown eyes tearing up.
I know what Lana said is just a dream..I ve heard a lot of stories about the "paradise"; a place where you can escape.Years and years ago, she was telling us how people lived. Cities,shops,people communicating ,visiting each other, having freedom.Countries were different,people had communities,cities ,town,villages, they had nature, colours ,not like now ,everything is gray.Lana used to say that even our town was like that.She had a house, family,neighbors, a job, using "money"as a currency. If I remember correct she talked about years 2000 and how slowly the world turned into the picture today, like everything human,disappeared . The "paradise" supposed to be the only place left on the planet ,that kept those things, protecting it, but is hidden ..and no one knows where is it, or if is reality or legend.
Maybe someone should risk and break the sistem..what if "paradise"is real?
