It's twenty years into the future, and the U.S. government is tired of their citizens eating unhealthily. After banning all fatty, sugary, salty junk food (in other words, McDonald's is no longer existent in America), fourteen-year-old Kevin Simmons goes to extreme lengths to ensure that everyone gets their daily dose of comfort food.

This short story was inspired by a prompt in Writer's Digest, Fall 2014 edition.

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
