December twenty fifth is usually associated with joy, happiness, laughter, basically everything that makes you cry tears of joy. When your Christmas arrives, you'd probably wake up and run to your parents shouting, "Santa came! Santa was here!" And then you go to open the gifts under the Christmas tree. It usually a good for everyone. It's supposed to be one of the most favored days of the year. But then they came. An entire army of them. They ravaged through the entire world, murdering people into the billions. They tortured millions more just for fun. They'll take you and set you into devices that'll slowly rip you apart. And they laugh at such violence like its the Comedy Central Roast. Freedom and happiness are things you would have had, but now, just consider them a memory. Or a lost cause. But some of us haven't given up. Some of us want to fight back. By some, I mean me, Alexander Ghresheild.

White Crayon
"If you ever feel down, or you feel like your worthless, just remember the white crayon. No one can use one. No one needs one." One second children are laughing and the next someone got hurt. It could be someone else's fault, or purely coincidental. Everyone deals with guilt differently. Some play the victim, using it to play the main character in a story that was never written for them. Some surround themselves with things and people that can turn their mind off for awhile. Others might feel guilty when they weren't even there. They feel like they need to go through something similar or worse to validate their suffering. Others grin and bear it, maybe because they don't have time, or they don't want the time. The day everything came barreling down, Rune Winston was a White Crayon.Complete
Is This The End?
I had been living in this dystopian universe my whole life. We lived simple, meaningless lives. I wasn't sad, merely dissatisfied. No one here was ever sad. The Center, which was our government, forced us to take a pill every morning to make sure we were always happy and healthy. For most of our lives we lived at home with our odd families that the government stuck us into as babies. Usually five children were put into each household. We grew up together in a single house, raised and taught by a robot even though none of us were related. We lived at home with limitless entertainment in the form of advanced technologies. We had one day of the week for shopping, one day for going out and one day for labor. On labor days we were assigned a job and had to complete it in order to gain money for the week. Everyone got the same amount no matter the job. If you didn't show up for these jobs there were grave consequences. The Center often used torture as a method of punishment, or so we were told. No one close to me had ever actually been punished by The Center though. It was incredibly rare. Most of us lived our lives as good little pawns doing nothing more than eating, sleeping and entertaining ourselves. But one day, my regular boring life changed...Complete
