Unexpected Difference

Griffin has heard stories of the earth that used to be occupied be the humans. Where there was green plant's and crystal water. Where he lives there is nothing of the sort. He lives on a planet called Home, if you can call it a planet. Home is a giant ball of metal about the size of Mercury that floated around in space. It was made because Earth could no longer be inhabited. When World War 111 started it was called The Nuclear War. With the fighting being done with Atom Bombs and other massive death weapons it was clear that everyone on earth would die before the war was over. So the government for The United States decided to create the Home, where America and their allies could live together in harmony.
People had been living at the Home for almost 10 years when the government decided that they would do anything they could to stop another war from ever happening. They figured that the only way to do this was to get rid of all differences no matter what the costs.
So in Griffin's world everyone has brown hair, everyone has brown eyes, everyone's favorite color is green, everyone had three kids, and everyone had the same last name of, Smith. The only differences in Griffin's world were first names and genders.

But he would soon understand and that slip of a knife might not only change his life but everyone's forever.
