The co-opting of all the worlds government by the Mega-Corporations had finally been realized. It all started so many years ago. The scheme was subtile and insideous beyond belief. First bring terror to them with a strike to the heart of the Nation, the next step was to use fear as a way of tearing away freedoms and rights from the citizens.. then, some sort of national crisis, a financial collapse that would tear the center out of the middle class....and of course one shouldn't forget the "dumbing down" of the citizens by feeding them lies and diluting history, taking away funds to run the public schools.... thereby gaining more and more control until finally they had it all. The proletariates had become no more than "feeders" who had to be eradicated before they gobbled up all the resources that were left... Now those who were left found themselves starving and reduced to hiding wherever they could find shelter, all while the private police hunted them down to be re-located to "iso-units" until they died.... And so, here we find Sally. Her mother had slipped out in the early hours of the morning to search for whatever food she might find... "stay in the shadows and don't make a noise until I get back", her mother had warned her before she left... Now many hours later the young girl wanders the boiler room of the ancient hotel, alone and frightened, wondering what she should do... and where was mom? Thanks for the peek, Seth
