Normality

Most of the population seeks it daily, in hope to return to the somewhat peaceful lifestyle they used to have or the believe once existed. But what am I exactly talking about ? Something that as lost many years ago. Normality.

But is there any "normality" to look for? I think not. In a place where kids and teens are abandoned by their parents, because those re obligated to work for the Government? Or where elders are killed because they are considered "useless"?

And who the hell am I? I'm Lydia McClay, daughter of Stephen McClay, one of the five governors. Do most kids wish they were me? Without any doubt. But is it really a bed of roses being son/daughter of the governors? Absolutely not.
