What if life was dependent on a button? Your life specifically....and if someone decided that they didn't like you, they could turn that button off. But only the government had control of those buttons. Had control of lives. Had the control of who lives and who dies? Acid is no exceptions to this way of life. One wrong step, one wrong move, and you are dead. Or as they say, Gone. It's an unsaid rule that you don't say nothing bad about anyone working for the government. Unsaid that you don't try to escape The Town. Unsaid that you don't do anything out of daily life. Unsaid that one person can kill all.
