tomtord short story

the RA rules 2/3 of the world but the wars involved in this major conquest ruined the economy of most countries including the Red Nation itself.

The RA has strict rule over every move their people make.

no drugs, no violence, no children without permission, no jobs without permission, no transitions of gender at any point in time, and no 'gayness' as Tords father had put it.

Tord was simply trying to fallow in his father's footsteps and make him proud but this was a futile effort.

Tom, once a girl named Tam, tries all he can to keep his past life as far away from him.

unfortunately leaving Edd and Matt behind as well.

even though he knew it was illigal
even though it was dangerous Tord took Tom in not wanting to leave an old friend alone.

he knew Tom would do the same for him even if the media would have a field day if they even found out.
