Perfect

My name is Lauren Avery. I’m 17 years old and I live in a large city called Avoxa. Avoxa is in a near future dystopian world. It has a population of merely 500 people. Children at the age of eighteen undergo various surgeries and operations to manipulate their features in a combined pattern to match the government’s perfection standards. The day of your eighteenth birthday, the mayor himself escorts you to the GPCC (Government Perfection Correction Centre). There you take part in a series of protocol tests analysing your basic knowledge of governmental policies and laws. They alter your appearance to the point where your own family will not recognise you. After the operation, you are to stand in front of a team of government selected specialists and any leftover imperfections are tended to immediately. If you decide to rebel and refuse to be changed, or don’t do as the Mayor tells you to do, you will be shot instantly. As the Mayor always says “there’s no room in this world for imperfection.” So basically that means you either undergo the surgery and become a government perfection puppet…or die. You choose.
