Year 18 Anything not completed on time from Years 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, result in Abandonment
If one reaches Year 18 and has abided by every Year Rule, then that individual is now considered an adult, and will no longer have Year Rules to follow. It is at this point we believe an individual has proven themselves worthy to be a part of our great society. Failure to uphold proper behavior is still not without consequence.
Year 13 was a struggle for me, finding my way on the streets, all alone. My life was constantly changing, my beliefs and ideologies a blur. I no longer knew where I stood. I had started to hear whisperings of a revolution, of people who wanted to make a change. People who aspired to be rid of the Government.
Year 13 didn't feel any different than all the other Years. Year 17 though, brought about change, long-awaited and necessary change, not only for myself but for others. Year 12: Abandonment for Felisha Martins, date of birth November 19th, 2509, the current number of Years in Abandonment, 11.
Year 18 was a long-awaited goal.
Year 18 was meant to free me, liberate me.
I was going to make that happen.
