CHAPTER 1
________________________________________________________________________________
[You can skip this chapter, but you will have a better understanding of the actual story (Chapter 2) if you read it. If you don't want to read the history of Norcinu, I suggest to at least read the commandments before advancing to the actual story.]
The world I reside in is called Norcinu. Norcinu was founded in the year 3400 due to a horrible atomic war. All of the old rich countries were involved. The poor countries were used as weapon testing sites and their citizens were used as slaves to make machinery and other war supplies. Some were used barbarically as human shields. These countries suffered the most.
After the war, all who were left formed together and agreed we shouldn't have divisions because they cause war. They moved all of the living to what used to be southern South America and they started fresh. They formed an oligarchy so no one person will not have too much power. They wanted peace, and they believed the only way we can have peace is if we gave up our freedom, and our life, to the government. They had good intentions, but it was hell for the future generations to come.
They installed laws that would promote well-being and obedience to the regime. There are ten commandments we must follow. If we break ANY of the laws, we risk death for ourselves, and for their parents (They punish the parents for not teaching their child correctly). These are our commandments.
1. NO RELIGION SHALL BE PRACTICED.
2. NO PERSON SHALL EDUCATE, NOR SHALL THEY LEARN.
3. NO PERSON SHALL TALK NEGATIVELY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
4. NO PERSON SHALL TRADE WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWING
5. NO PERSON SHALL EAT ANIMALS, NOR HARM ANIMALS
6. NO PERSON SHALL KEEP WEAPONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING KNIVES AND GUNS
7. NO PERSON SHALL MARRY OF THEIR CHOOSING
8. NO PERSON SHALL HARM OTHER PERSONS
9. NO PERSON SHALL LIVE EXCEEDING 70 YEARS OF AGE
10. NO PERSON SHALL DO A TASK OTHER THAN WHAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ASKED
It is now the year 5069. My name is Pani and I am planning to break one of these rules. Hopefully, I can live...
