Bullet shells litter the ground your bare feet are treading on like dead leaves in Autumn. The only pair of clothes you own are torn and two sizes too small but it’s all you have. The main emphasis of your appearance is not any of this, but the enormous machine gun slung over your starved body. No emotion is felt from you; no regret, hurt, or pleasure. The only thing you want is the chemically dangerous drugs fed as a reward to you in the little food you are given. Was this your choice? Did you…
