*This is just the intro, to build up the world. The hardcore shit starts next chapter, which I’ll link to below.*
[Edit: forgot to put the fuckin story smh]
For the first time I can remember, I wake up in the AM. Rather than feeling exhausted, I shiver, caked in cold sweat. It’s the first day of school. For some, this day would be exhilarating. For others, frightening. For me, it’s both.
I’ve often had nightmares about returning to school, but this is the real thing. I’d thought it was all over when I graduated that shithole of a high school, but it was only the beginning.
The New Order demands that everyone complete the minimum curriculum, regardless of what they’ve graduated from in the past. Luckily for me, it’s just one class.
“Human Decency” they call it. Intended to educate those who are behind in the new ways of society, and reshape their morals to avoid harmful thinking. Sounds like Kindergarten all over again.
Good or bad, I’d have to face this some day. Even though attendance isn’t mandatory, being a minimum graduate does come with it’s advantages, as passing grants equal rights and opportunities, such as access to Silver Tier citizenship, allowing for more government supplied commodities than the basic needs provided for to all inhabitants.
