In our life there are many rules. These rules are to protect us.
Our lives revolve around them.
If we ignore them there is a chance we will be killed.
In our world we fear injury and time.
We fear injuries for a reason. If we get any internal or external injuries, from a paper cut to a broken bone we will be sent to the dark place where we have to battle against time to win and survive. In these battles we are given random activities to complete before our time runs out, Win, you survive. Lose, you die. If you win, you will wake up with your injuries completely healed, lose and it's game over in a blink of an eye.
This is where our fear of time comes in. Time is our only enemy. It controls us and dictates weather we live or die.
Because of our fears we have many rules to insure we sustain little to no injuries in our life times.
-if you deliberately or accidentally cause an injury on another person you will face the government where they will decide if you are killed or sentenced to prison for life.
-you must be 25 years old to be able to have access to any sharp or heavy objects that are sold in shops. All food is made so you don't have to use any knives so knives are banned.
- your nails must be kept at a 1mm length above where the nail connects to the skin to prevent any scratches/ harm.
- any form of transport is banned except for walking.
Amongst these rules are even more, you have to be born into the system to be aware of every single one.
The population of human beings is very small for many reasons, for example during child birth, the mother is sent to the dark place to fight against time for both her and her new borns life, if she loses she and the baby dies. Another reason is that we cannot have any surgeries or vacations done as it results to getting sent to the dark place. In our lives we can only talk out our problems, war is not an option! The only people who are willing to even think about it and participate are the rebels also knows as the 'Outcasts'.
In this life it's not about the strongest people, it's more about the people who think smart and are carful.
