It felt so ironic, that in a place such as this her name was Hope. 

She had the widest smile, a mouth full of teeth too big, they were overlapping,with the two front buck teeth, but she always showed them when she had a chance. 

The smile would be waiting for me whenever I entered our classroom, at least that's what I thought, that she was eagerly awaiting my arrival every morning, even though I saw her direct it at anything. 

Why was she like this?

In a place such as this, hopeless and dejected. Wretched and gloomy. 
A place where humans were no longer free. 
Cursed to be slaves to an extraterrestrial civilization. No different from farm animals, mindlessly following orders and terminated and the first sign of any sort of disturbance to regime. 
 
She smiled.

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Things changed. It happened slow....Then, it suddenly picked up. It took on a life of it's own. SHIT! The weaker are on top. They seem to have it all. I have become the last thing, I ever wanted. Nothing should be bought or sold. There should never be a price on existing. I'm way too old for this shit....What ever the hell this is meant to be! Will this work out? Or will I just kill her. But. I like her smile. Maybe....We'll take it from there.
