Feel Alive

Man Cages

They dragged us through the dark halls of the giant underground city we called the bunker.

I looked over and they dragged Damien right along with me. At the end of the hall we were shoved into a room. They tied us against two poles next to each other. We looked around and realized that this wasn't going to be easy to get out of.

A man wearing a metal mask walked in. My heart was racing and all i wanted to do was to get away from the rules of society.

"You are here because you broke the rules, you won't be given a trial because the laws are clear, you with be sent to the cages and will spend the night there without food or water if you stay awake the entire time you are free to go, if you fall asleep you stay another night are we clear minors?" The man said i could tell he wasn't playing games.

We were then dragged into the backroom and shoved in man cages next to each other.

"Andrea? We have to keep each other awake" i nodded and looked at the rows and rows of cages. Minors of all ages were in those cages. It reeked with the smell of discharge and body oder. And in the distance i heard a scream from row 77. Suddenly a scout walked and three others followed behind. "He's dead!" The girl cried, and the scouts walked out of there carrying out the body of a 15 year old boy. It seemed as tho that kid stayed too many nights and didn't make it out alive. Damien could hear me breathing heavily, and with his gentle voice he comforted me "hey, it'll be okay, we can do this. I took a deep breath and placed my hand against the metal bars. He smiled and put his against mine and i knew i could make it out of there.
