The Masks That Control Us

Cole O'Brien, A below average high school student and a nobody. He has to wear masks like everyone else to express express emotions, but he hates having to put them on and feels as if they make him fake. But without them he's empty, so he does what hes told. He wasn't alive when it all started, but his parents always used to tell it for a bedtime story. In 1920, pregnant mothers who gave birth to their children years later started noticing that they were never happy, nor sad, or even angry. Desperate for answers, they went to doctors, psychiatrists, even had surgeries done on their children. Illegal drugs were being made to cause some emotion but it wasn't enough. By the year 2002 masks were made to make the user feel every emotion they used to. Now in 2018 they are an everyday necessity and illegal to not have one. One day Cole experiences something that will change his life forever.
