You ever met someone who's eyes were just... A little too small? Or a little to big? Someone who's mouth was somehow in the middle of their face. Or someone who's ears were a little too forward. Maybe someone with teeth a little too sharp or maybe it seemed like their teeth were too small.
Now I ask you, did they spend a lot of time on a phone, or a computer. Did their parents spend a lot of time around electricity. Did they quite possibly have a horrific accident including something or other with screens or electronics. Because, newsflash, that stuff is worse than radiation. The screen you are currently looking at and or holding, is slowly changing your DNA into one of us. Your kids? They are going to become the next monstrosity.
How do I know this?
I am a Oraline. "What's an Oraline?" I only have a mouth. My face, it's a mouth. My facial orface is primarily teeth, tongue, and saliva. I can scream louder than a baby after being dropped down the stairs. I don't have a nose, or eyes, and my ears are like a lizards. Two holes on either side of my head.
Guess what. Im a NORMAL one.
It gets weirder.
My best friend an Oculate. A face filled with nothing but 12 eyes that look like melting ice cream. You can actually watch them slowly morph and move. Their skulls are like jelly, it's a medical wonder why they don't immediately have brain damage. Their voice is like a weird morse code. Clicking and mumbling because it's kinda hard to talk without a mouth.
Then, there's my enemy. An Aurictom. A living ear. God I hate ears. Ok I don't hate ALL of them, I have a few Aurictom friends. They are... Not a fan of me getting excited. They are fun to tease tho!
As for our bodies? About as human as yours. It's really the screen next to the face situation. You are changing DNA in JUST your face. It's really a mess.
So yeah. Im currently in what you guys would call a destopian future, and trust me, it's not what you think. The most that happened is people became more racist and angry towards each other. So. You know. Big fun here.
When this weird mutations were just coming up no one knew how to put up with it. It happened with the first child being born without a mouth. Of course doctor's were quick to check their skull and maybe give them one, but couldn't find a jawbone. Of course the parents believed they were a little angel and kept them, but see, these things kept popping up. People with no ears. Or nostrils showing up in different spots leaving room for a large Parana like mouth.
Soon it was just people with only eyes, or only ears, or only mouths. And they were named appropriately.
The medical terms mixed with normal name sounds to make it not so blunt.
One thing was definitely noticed. Like pitbulls in a world of small dogs. The world was becoming prejudice. Oraline were the large dogs of the world. Labeled dangerous or even sociopathic. The bottom of the barrel. Only because it was people who might be born into a not so good family, or genetics that made them bigger. They usually had to be strong, tall, or even just wide. especially with people on top of them constantly.
It wasn't all fun in games for others though.
The Oculate were considered the snitches. The way they are capable of seeing all around like a spider on a perch. Often used as guards or spies. A lot of the time their jobs consisted of quietly sitting and watching. The sad thing, they are the... Not so self capable ones. Often tall and thin, or short and squishy. Of course there's always a few that defy that factor. Maybe someone with a little Oraline in them.
And the Aurictom.
Used for the most obvious things. Quiet quiet jobs. The biggest sticks in mud EVER. You say one thing around them and it's "you're too loud" "shut up you dull Oraline!!" "Know how to whisper stupid Oraline fu-" you get the point.
So what did people do in their shame. Slap a mask on it. But after a while, masks were just kind of in style. People would make their own or buy a few. Some would paint on theirs or keep it bright white. The one thing that was always kept the same? The stupid, annoying, golden star sticker smiley face. You know. The one with oval eyes and a smile with cheek lines. That stuff.
Soon people kinda just stopped having kids. Those who did would only have kids with their types. It was rare to see a healthy kid with an Oraline and Oculate parent. They would be beyond messed up. Eyes all over their body with a huge gaping mouth in their chest or a mouth filled with eyeballs. It just wasn't right. Even for us. They looked like gods left over body parts shoved together in a blob of clay that was then stepped on and thrown into a muddy puddle.
Kids are still inevitable. There are local elementary schools, but the moment you hit 12 they ship you off to a school in the middle of nowhere. Aka the entire state of Wyoming. They took the clear skies, amazing feilds filled with tall grass, mountains and wind. The graising animals and flying birds. And threw 100000000+ teenage kids in there. It's now and ACTUAL hell. A part of it is always on fire, there's corpses of animals and people here and there. It's nothing like what it was 100 years ago.
I think we meant to do something good with it. Like unitize the people and make us not hate each other... But it's also putting a bunch of teens into ONE STATE. Things aren't going to go the way you want them to.
That's where I am now. In an auditorium style classroom full of 100+ students my age, 20% of them skipping out, learning about maths.
