Larson, where Ava had grown up with her twin brother Caden, was in a constant state of disorder. The overpopulation had become out of control and the government, in a bid to minimise growth, divided Larson into 7 Provinces. There were garbage bags littered along the paved streets, pollution filled the air from the boost in infrastructure and the construction that was almost always underway, and the increasing number of homelessness meant seeing beggers was not uncommon for Ava.
But this was the 5th Province, and this was home.

The Last Time I Saw City Lights
Fear brings out the worst in us, it did to me. The youngest of three brothers is taken hostage by the new-and-unimproved government where he's reunited with his siblings, but only to awaken a different breed of problems born from this new ruling power. IMPORTANT NOTE: this was my 9th grade LA assignment from highschool lmao. I AM NOT A CONSERVATIVE, nor a republican. I'm a far leaning leftist, very much so. The point of the story was to bring up childhood trauma and be all edgy; and the political aspect was just me documenting how conservative people feel. With the whole "gay agenda" and everything. I saw white ppl acting crazy and saying stuff like that a lot as a kid, so I just wrote a lil thang. I realize that this aged horribly. Horribly. Um. It's not a political statement at all, or at least, it wasn't intended to be. Fck ice, fuck the orange guy, fck the island, and fck the underground cities. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.Complete
