I was born in the year 2108, in the month of February, and on the day of 04. As far as I know, I am the only one with that birthdate in my city. Growing up as a 12-year-old girl in 2120, my family has been under many serious searches. 50 years ago, a man with deceiving words corrupted the whole government with his lying mouth. Government. GOVERNMENT! There! I said it. It's a word no one is allowed to use anymore. 50 years ago, a 45-year-old man named Jayron Fox took over the government and slithered his way up to being the president.
Once he gained vicious supporters, Fox then became America's tyrant and this once free country became a tyranny, under the rule of a fallacious leader with intimidating supporters. Not one second do I ever see Fox go about without at least 2 sentinels flanking him. A sign of weakness. He is afraid. He is afraid he will get overthrown by the people. What has happened to 'we the people'? Fox got rid of the Constitution. He got rid of the bill of rights. Jayron Fox got rid of everything America stands for. By erasing our free past, Fox took control and killed every person who objected, like an anaconda snake, greeted by a timid capybara. He calls this "paving a path to a right country". The sly fox pounced on the unsuspecting bunny and found millions more to feast on, all the while licking his dirty, lying mouth. By this process of murder, fear, and more murder, Fox made almost everyone obey him. Almost.
By the 4th year (should have been the fourth day) under Fox's rule, groups of people met secretly-by secretly I mean everyone knows besides the government- and formed a group of rebels. These rebels soon came out of hiding and killed the tyrant, thinking this would solve all of America's problems. Unfortunately, Fox had a baby boy that no one knew of besides him and Jayron Fox's most trusted supporters. No one knew who the mother was, but it is said that Jayron Fox killed her right after receiving a baby. Boy. That is the unspoken word at the end of the sentence. Everyone knows that if the baby were to be a girl, he would have slaughtered her right away, believing her to be unworthy of such a high rank. People say that Jayron Fox only wanted to have a baby to keep this tyranny going, not wanting anything but power for the rest of his days. No, sorry I made a mistake. Wanting power for the rest of his days is an understatement. Jayron Fox wanted power even after he died, securing his fate in his baby. Jayron Fox wanted his name to forever be remembered as a leader.
The baby was named Jayron Fox Jr. (I know right, so original). And so it was that America was under the rule of a 3-year-old descendant of Jayron Fox Sr. One of his most trusted guards accompanied him, teaching him everything his father would have taught him. The toddler soon found that he liked ice cream very much and he banned it from the whole rest of America, wanting to have all the ice cream there ever was, to keep to himself. The baby MONSTER! I have never tasted ice cream before, but my sweet grandmother told me about it. I still remember her words before she died. "The sweet, cold, milky cream, flavored with vanilla, dunked in sprinkles of all colors and flavors...As a child, I always thought it was like eating a sweet cloud." (Even though clouds are made of water, but who cares? Not like Grandma knew that as a child) Of course, America went spiraling out of control without someone to veto the laws! What did you expect! All we have is one crazy baby ruling us at an age too young to know politics (not that any of the Foxes knew; I guess it just runs in the family bloodline. Like father, like son). At his funeral, they said Jayron Fox Sr. will forever be remembered as the man who created a new country. Barf! (Well it isn't untrue, but still). I say that Jayron Fox Sr. will forever be remembered as the man who created a new country, formed from the lies from his mouth, and the fear he feeds on from others. Anyway, now that Jayron Fox Sr. is dead, we can forget about him (I doubt anyone will) and focus on the new tyrant who is no longer a baby, but still a monster.
Jayron Fox Jr. is 53 years old now, though he looks like he is 30 (probably because he still has severe hoarding habits and kept all the creams and moisturizers for himself. He is just like his father, maybe even worse, checking every suspicious family. This is monthly, though our family is suspicious enough to have the "great honor" of getting checked every two weeks. Hooray. Most rebels (major suspects) get checked every week, though the officials who come check us don't know for sure if we're rebels-yet. Rebels need to hide their tracks very well. Even if Jayron's band of supporters- let's just call them dimwits from here on out- don't know for sure that there are bigger groups of rebels, they certainly suspect something.
