If you had the choice to never feel negative emotions again, would you? The human body has changed. Emotions, both positive and negative, run through our veins like haemoglobin in our blood. They are no longer just feelings, but substances. In Nacoma, a late 2000s society previously known as the centre of England, emotions are bottled and stored by the government. President Curtis, ruler of Nacoma, has introduced the SentiVaccines - every citizen of Nacoma, when they reach the age of sixteen, has four vaccinations against the four negative basic human emotions: fear, anger, disgust and sadness. Those who do not comply, those who retain these emotions somehow, are sent to MisMap Correctional Facility, a place where medical experts try to "correct" them in order for them to return to Nacoma. Violet Thorburn is a fifteen-year-old girl soon to turn sixteen. However, she is not as willing as her peers to receive the vaccinations. After all, we are born with negative emotions...are they not worth having?

《《《《《This is some VERY old writing of mine. Enter if you dare clichés, terrible grammar, and a story with next-to-no scenery descriptions. I might revisit this idea later, so I'm leaving it up for now.》》》》》 Crying. It's an act to show emotion. It is only supposed to be seen by those around you when it happens, but here, it's different. In this dystopian world, you can see, via hologram, the last time someone cried. There are people who use this to manipulate and antagonize others. Anna is the center of our story. She's a 16 year old girl who has under gone much heartache due to the dystopian setting. She has made a promise to her older brother, Drew, while he was on his death bed, to protect their younger siblings- a promise she hopes she doesn't break. She is very tough, but fear is a constant no matter who you are. In the story, fear is ruling her; the fear that she's failing Drew. If she, her family, and her neighbors were not in this setting, she'd be perfectly happy. But she can't be happy now, not with everything that's going on.
