Jessica Fields

       I am just like the girl next to me.
       I am just like the guy too.
       I am like my family.
       I am like everyone except the people at Central Command.
       The only thing that's makes everyone different is their name.
       My name is Jessica Fields.
       I am an average girl, at least that's what they tell me.
       I follow what the people at Central Command tell me to do, everyone else does too.
       I know that when I am old enough, Central Command will pair me with the right guy. Central Command already knows who that is, and is preparing us both for that time. I do what I am told, and that is that. No questions, no comments, just do. Central Command tries to make us feel in charge of our lives, by giving us the right choice, and allowing us to "accept" the choice, let the choice be our own. We all know that Central Command controls our lives, and yet we do nothing about it.
       I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this way. What if I am slightly immune to Central Command?
       "Time for Dinner", yells my mom. I follow instinctively. I guess not.
       I will follow orders completely from now on. No questions asked.
