A State of Apathy
By U2jess
I stand here alone, surrounded in barbwire. A crystal world turned black. My mouth is closed shut. For the benefit of society, I am ignored, incapable of speaking my mind, like an invisible mime. I look around at this estranged nation confused, and at the same time, curious. Clones stand all around in their black uniforms, black wigs, and black masks. A thick air smelling of blood hits me as I turn to watch these 'humans' eat their own flesh. They eat like maggots, like flies, with one single purpose... to survive. If only they could take a glimpse at my world. They'd see a world engulfed with happiness, sadness, change, and color. I have seen enough...stop. I find myself motionless, lost in a complete state of apathy in this world which I thought was only fantasy.This was written for my English class back in 2000. There were strict rules (and i mean rules which applied to EVERY line), and it had to be either about a utpoian or distopian society. I had a blast writing this one. enjoy!
