"The happinesses of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."

We all live in novels. We only worry about things that affect us. If pollution didn't affect our health, we wouldn't care. If global warming didn't have a chance of completing erasing all the lies we call our lives, we simply would not care. We crush each other down to reach the top and once at the top we hold our hands out and chain those we've crushed with empty promises of
" helping".
From the moment we're born we are classified into society's food chain. The intellectual and beautiful ones are classified as, blue bloods. The intellectual but no beauty are classified as, white bloods. Then there are the normal ones, the red blood. And finally there is us, the black bloods. We all live by rules and standards, everything is fabricated. From a young age the rules are woven into our blood.
Always keep your head down.
Do not speak unless spoken too.
Respect your upperclassmen.
And, never ever interact or so much as breathe the same air as a blue blood.
Respect. Hide.
Avoid. Survive...
That's the way of life in Anethin.

" wake up"
"WAKE UP!"
" w..wake up..."
"Number #000"
" It is time to wake up"
This is how we are born. Without a single person around, we open our eyes with the command of a voice. After the voice a deafening silence rings throughout the room and everything slowly comes into focus. We see....
White.
Pure white.
It blinds us, urging us to close our eyes but forcing our eyes to stay open. Without the ability to talk, we cry out to the ones who brought us into this world. Only to be met with the same deafening silence. Our loud whaling slowly softens down to quiet breaths as we come to a realization that there is nothing but silence in this world.
