"The pill factory has been repaired after the attacks from the delinquents called the "Killjoys" so pills will be distributed at normal hours today. Thank You."
I ran, I ran until my legs felt like jello even after that I kept running I had to keep running.
The roaring engines behind me gave a reason not to stop, everything I knew was a lie. My life, my job, hell even my family was a lie, a joke. I have been manipulated by the ones I trusted, the ones everyone trusted and still trusts, Better Living Industries. The sand beneath my felt more like my death then my salvation I know what's out here. Killjoys, they're dangerous delinquents, a enemy among the outer zones. Everyone back there in Battery City talked about how dangerous they are. I have been deceived I thought at the that time I was scared but, I come to find out ever sense the beginning of Battery City's climb to the top everyone has been emotionless unable to think for themselves, basically zombies to the corporation. Eventually the strongest adults are pulled in to become Draculoids the only thing we have that are close to police officers anymore. They shoot on command and don't think twice, they can't think, they're puppets for BL/ND to play with. I stumbled scrapping my hands against the sand under me, my thin shoes hurt under my feet, I can feel everything I step on. "22678, surrender now and no charges with be pressed against you" a menacing and commanding voice pierce the desert air. I pressed myself harder then I ever thought possible until I heard screeching and the cars engines started getting distant then nothing, I stop in my tracks. The sounds of the motors that were roaring just a few moments before was replaced by still quietness, It was short lived when a shearing pain went through my shoulder it felt as if the meat was being peeled from my bones. The force of the blow knocked me onto the ground I gagged as all the wind was knocked from my body I made the choice to stay motionless praying for who ever hit me the think I was dead where I stood. I heard nobody not even the sand moved there was no sound of audible breathing either. I laid there and waited and waited, for a good 20 minutes until I decided to attempt to get up, I cried out the pain too much to bare as I pushed myself up. Wobbling, practically tripping over my own feet I stumbled making my way down a long forgotten road covered in sand, decay, and ruin. Fear, fear took over my emotions fear of the unknown, of the Killjoys. They are no better then the Draculoids, they kill because they can not because they have to. Better Living warned everyone to stay away from them, they were dangerous. My white overalls turn tan and brown in places as I took a good tumble here and there the sand caking to my body. I heard music I didn't know from were until a blue and yellow paint splattered car came within inches of hitting me I stumbled backwards falling on my bum pain from my shoulder sprouting through my body, the car sped away the people in it completely oblivious to what had happened. I had to carry on find cover, shelter maybe, something. I pulled myself together getting up onto my feet. My feet sunk into the sand, the sand found every crack and cranny to push itself into my shoes. This was torturous the sand scratched and burned my feet with every step I took I couldn't take it anymore I was falling apart. That's when I finally saw something in the distance the shadow of what seemed a car in that moment I didn't care about the pain of my body I ran to it. As I quickly approached the car I sighed with relief as it seemed to vacant and abandoned in the desert sand. My hand found the handle of the car door pulling it out I nearly jumped in huddling myself in between the back of the passenger seat and the side of the seat part of the backseat. Resting my head in between my knees I started to think and thinking lead to tear streaked cheeks. Everything that I've ever known that I've loved was basically a hallucination it felt so real my family's love but, it was conditional love it was just the pills that made me think this. It felt like someone had woken me up from a dream I was dreaming and wasn't as it was it was peaceful and beautiful, not bleached and empty. My eyelids started to droop from sheer exhaustion as my first night in the outer zones quickly came to an end.
