This is just a piece of dystopian fiction that I wrote a few months back. I entered it in a competition and I'm actually pretty proud of it. Although the word limit was below 4 000 words so I had to rush the ending a bit. It's just a short story but let me know if I should expand on it a little more. I'd love to spend more time with this world.
