Both Sides of the Story
Dear Pures,
We envy you. You walk around with unscathed skin while we are scarred and fused. You eat well and live long while we starve and die young. Our children are taken at 16 to kill or be killed. Our lungs are clogged with ash and dust while you breathe air purified with vents. Curiosity got the best of you and you decided to press the big red button that said “DO NOT TOUCH.” This isn’t your world anymore. You gave that up when you left us for your dome to deal with YOUR consequences. When you appear from your hide-out we will be ready and we won’t be welcoming.
Sincerely, Wretches
Dear Wretches,
We envy you. You are free outside. Free from the guilt of leaving millions behind. We know the truth about who activated the bomb. We kill ourselves rather than do something because we can’t live with the guilt. You are not the only ones who are scarred and permanently altered. We degenerate our cells with hormones and enhancements to improve our body but it just kills us faster. The Dome isn’t safe, so relish in your freedom.
Sincerely, Pures
