Meri got out of bed 9: 00 am just as everyone else did in the world on weekends. No men should sleep more are less than anyone else. Meri read that in the book of rules called One nation written by the leader many years ago which is said god told him to write it. Her father walked into her room he too just awoken. He rubbed his hands threw his thick brown hair. He had dark brown eyes that always looked sad all the time but tried to hide it with a smile and had dark brown skin.

'' Good morning love bird " Her father called her the nick name she had as a child. Causing Meri too groaned she hated that name. Its a sin to hate, because hate is a strong word which is in the book One nation. Meri just didn't start caring anymore its a sin to almost do anything, If she would have said that out loud that would have being her head for going against god and the leader. Some things the leader says she disagree and question did god really tell the leader that? Are is it all lies but why will the leader lie to the world? But why would the leader lie to the ones that look up to him?

Meri's father looked at Meri wondering why is she spacing out. Meri realized she did and snapped back to earth too much on her mind.

'' Good morning father, where's mother and Anija?" Meri asked

Meri's father pointed down the stairs where her mother and younger brother is preparing breakfast like every other day. It was a wife's duty something Meri never wants to have as result when she takes her test tomorrow, she won't know what she will do if she does get the job just to be a wife and have children and slave for her husband. But there's nothing she can do because if she complains about her assigned job she will be put to death for questioning the leaders work. Something that had never happened no one dared too. The leader would give them a slowly painful death doing only god knows and then wish and sentence you to hell.

" Meri'' Her father called his daughter's name she had blanked out thinking she must be nervous about the test.

'' Honey you will do fine on the test I'm sure you will get your job as a nurse.'' Her father smiled.

Meri looked at her father and smiled but she still worried nothing was for sure. But her father's smile did put her at ease, then the smell of bacon caused the two to sniff the air.

" I think Mom and Anija is finish with breakfast".

Her father lead the way downstairs. Meri's little brother sat quietly at the table, her mother placed the plate of food on the table. Everyone took there seats.

" Everyone join hands and bow your heads." Meri's father said.

So They all did and like always mother said the grace. It was always the women who said the grace, It was said that women must say the grace in thanks of god for being able to repopulate for the greater good of our earth. For being able to be the one to give life a special painful gift from God and first ever great leader in 2030.

" God I want to thank you for the breakfast we are about to receive. And I want to thank you for my husband and kids and the unborn baby girl I'm carrying. Thank you for the leader for even though we never saw him I can feel him in my heart. Thanks for giving us a leader who do all good things to society. I give thanks to all things and is very grateful for what you done for my family. In god, and the leader we pray amen." Meri's mother smiled before eating the meal she prepared.

Meri tasted the bacon, tired of it in which her family and everyone else in the world eats every Sunday. Her mother saw her face expression and looked concerned as of why her daughter is not liking the bacon. She cooked them just as everyone else did.

" Honey what's wrong?'' Meri's mother frowned.

'' I'm starting to hate bacon" Meri pushed the bacon to the side.
