STORY STARTER

Submitted by Petit-Mythe

Write a short dystopian story about a world trying to be perfect, but one person hasn’t been brainwashed like the rest.

The Commanded

One step in front of the other, grab the hilt of the knife, follow the orders given to us. I have been blending in for the past three years as one of them. The day you are born you are raised in a warehouse like home and the day you turn sixteen you will become like the rest. Everyone does as they are told without a question. Some of the things we have done are awful. I mean they have had us eliminate full towns that wouldn’t follow orders given by the supreme commander. At the start I truly hated it, now I don’t mind it. I will say I wish it was the supreme commander that I was doing it to but she lives in a fortified area, and no one knows where that is. I just hope that in time I can work my way up to take this experiment down. What would happen to everyone? Would they remember the kills, the torture and torturing? Or will this be a blank space in their minds? What if I do more harm than good? I could single handily destroy what’s left of humanity or I could allow for it to grow naturally again.
