Chasing Violets

The Day Hell Came to Earth

----------------------------------------------------------- 3 Months Ago--------------------------------------------------------- 

It was one day short of my 17th birthday when the world went to hell. The day every single dystopian future story came true; the day government officials came out in white uniforms to cleanse the world of anything unique and different. The day I was stuffed into a one way mirror defense room and watched as they busted down my front door. Screaming on the soundproof and bulletproof glass as the government officials threw my parents against the wall and blew their brains out. That was the day the world went from cold and uncaring to evil and calculating. That was the day the Government unleashed Stage 3 Bio-tech. It eliminated every unique trait about you, save your genders. Smooth, flawless skin, supernatural healing, leveled out diseases. It even maintained your body to maximum health so that you were assured to die at the latest possible age, a nice even 85. They called themselves the next stage of evolution come early. They were called the Refines. Everything about them was refined. Their mannerisms, their speech patterns, their high, lilting laughter. But they weren't refined at all. They were uniform, seamless. Nothing unique whatsoever. They were soulless. They were monsters.

Of course, the Refining process swept through the world faster than the latest celebrity news. Within weeks, the biggest countries had seen a 100% Refining rate. All of Russia had been Refined in 3 weeks, China in only 2. Many of the smaller countries didn't stand a chance. And countries like the former USA had been the fastest. In an effort to outdo the other countries, the government had simply rounded up everybody and sent them in. It had taken 7 days to refine all of the USA. Actually, sorry, it's pronounced Pandora now. It kind of fits, don't you think? After all, everything inside of Pandora is unnatural and evil.

I killed those Officials who burst into my house. All 6 of them. It wasn't hard, especially with my background. I trained in every form of Martial arts you could think of. I could've been an assassin with all the combat and weapons training my parents put me through. And I was good at it. Really good. It was part of my family's history. The secret of our violet eyes. I'll tell you that story later though. Let's just say this, those officials never knew what hit them. For the record, it was a knife. The same knife that I currently keep hidden in a strap directly inside the sleeves of my shirts. Good girls needed protection in this world, right?

Over the next few days, i pilfered food and water from my house and those around me. I slept in trees and moved only at night. Reading those dystopian books had given me an idea of how this worked. But I had nowhere to go, and nothing to come back for. I was the last human left in my city, that's for sure. For all I know, I was the last human in the world. Well, I was going down fighting. That was a promise.
