Of all things I ever expected to become; a helper in the Glass House, manager of Station Six, perhaps even a teacher of The Planned. I was never prepared for a future set as the leader of a rebellion group, rallying against my government. How could I have possibly predicted my entire community would turn against me, purely because of the circumstances of my birth. Although there were admittedly a few predictors that could have told me things were bound to go wrong, naive childish notions blocked them out. I, Kathleen Morella, was the twenty fourth born of the two thousand and thirty seven Unplanned children in Area 37 in the year 3982. Now, as we near the year four thousand, I have come to realize a few things. Industrialization of a population will not, and should not work. Execution is never an acceptable way to remove someone from a community. And I, an Unplanned, will have to save the world from falling under the same misconception as Area 37 did. I suppose I still have one question for myself and the world. Can you be a hero if you choose to label yourself as one?

*Completed* We are only a number... How would you feel if when you were born, your whole life was set in front of you? If how you were treated was all dependent on where in the year you were born? Well, welcome to Karyln, formerly known as the United States before World War three and four. In Karyln, parents try to plan pregnancies to end right around the first of the year because when you're born decides how the rest of your life will be. The first boy and girl born gets the number one, they are projected to receive the best life possible. The next boy and girl get the number two, and I think it's pretty easy to guess how the rest goes. The only thing standing between the elite society and their perfect lives, is The Trial. Every year, on the first of June, everybody who has or is having their eighteenth birthday joins. It's a race to the finish line in teams of four and you could either become a higher or lower number depending on when you reach the end. This was created in hope to give those with lower numbers a chance to climb up the ranks. The Trial then developed into more. Pairs of boys and girls with numbers one through thirty live, while the others with numbers of thirty-one and beyond are purged to maintain population control. Oh how our country loves to dig bigger holes for itself. My name is Adaline Grace, and I'm number twenty-two. ~~~~~~~~~~ Awards: 1st Place in The Creative Awards (Third Edition) 1st Place in The Astrologist Awards 2020 2nd Place in The Unknown Writers Awards
