A hundred and fifty years from now, parents will give up their children to the government at birth. This is due to mandatory DNA scanning that will determine every detail of the child: personality, talents, weaknesses, eye and hair color, and any disabilities. Parents then "shop" for the type of child they want. After they purchase their child, they raise that child as their own. The children that are not chosen by the age of three are deemed "the forgotten" and sentenced to a life of servitude to the government. This has been the way of the world for one hundred years. 

Fifteen year old Eris-6-11 is one of the Forgotten. Her life changes forever when she gets a chance to leave the Compound forever.

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16
Glory in War: BURIED TRUTH (Part 3) by Hirokatsu800
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Wars are not something out of the ordinary, are they? We hear about them every day. But for the people that live them, it is more than a punishment from the gods. It is a never-ending agony which the victims have to fight in order to survive. They fight to honour the fallen ones, to protect what they cherish the most, to make their stories heard. They fight for their glory which was lost alongside the people they once knew. They fight for a better future, one without conflicts, one with the freedom they wish to have. But even so, they try to live simple lives in the end, no matter what happens in the meantime. "But can you truly call it living if you cannot sense your freedom, if you cannot wander the streets of your own city without the fear of one day being discovered and killed because of the way you are born? Because of your gift from the gods? Maybe... But it is for us to see what future planned for its people." The third part of the story "Glory in War" focuses on finding out the reality behind the secrets and lies that we've heard of even from the beginning of this tale. Not before a faded, yet familiar face, leaves a letter to those after Him, the beings have decided to decipher this strange last will in order to find His final message to His successors and maybe get an answer on this unknown world to them. But when the journey for the truth begins, it won't take long before even more questions make their way into the lives of our heroes.
