The Revolution or the End?
After months of heavy planning, everything was in place for the rebellion to start full force. We had gained support from the majority of the Untouchables across the country, and even the lower class citizens had joined the rebellion. Already, riots were starting in the country, especially in the lower island cities like Otago and Dunedin. Our food robbing raids had been a great help to stock up on food, and now we had great supplies of food and sources to aid us in the weeks to come. Little by little, the rebellion was starting.
We took South City first. It was a bloody battle against the United Forces, but they weren't expecting us to be so fierce, and that gave us the advantage. All the while my only thought was of bringing justice to the innocent people of Zelanda, and of avenging my brother's death, and in a way, also my own. The Frodo Lachlan I was now was no longer the Frodo Lachlan I had been months ago. As the rebellion spread so did the violence, and soon we had a handful of cities under our control.
As successful as the rebellion seemed to be going, I knew it was only a matter of time before Tiberius Caesar did his move, and if we didn't act fast, then it would all be for nothing. We needed to get the rest of the population on our side, to let them know the lies the Government was brainwashing them with. So we hijacked the communications system and aired the truth one evening during one of Kimmono Kardinski's shows. The uproar was incredible, but the Government shut down the intermission way too fast, and managed to convince a great number of people that the rebels were trying to fool them and separate them from their loyal Government. Even so, I know we managed to get through to some people.
That was two weeks ago. Right now, living in Zelanda is hell on Earth. Bombs shower the streets, there are corpses of the dead everywhere, and the surveillance of the Government has only gotten worse. My fear is that all our hard work will be wasted, and that PAPÆ will remain victorious in the end. I know my life is always in danger, and it is even more now that the Government has recognized me as one of the rebel's leaders. Oh no, I hear footsteps coming from the hallway, and I know they do not belong to my comrades. They are coming for me, my time has come. My only regret in life is that I could never come out of the closet and tell Kimmono Kardinski how much I loved-

The Untouchables
After walking a long time through the dark streets of South City, I saw a light and knew instantly that I had arrived to the Untouchables' camp. The sky was dark and the only source illuminating the whole camp was the reflection of the moon and the light I could see from a distance. It was full of fog, and I could barely see where I was going. The water droplets suspended in the air were a distraction for what was going on in the camp, and the reality I had not yet seen in person. A strike of fear hit me each time I took a step closer. I passed through some people avoiding eye contact with them, but my eyes could still see how the looked at me with suspicion in their faces. The place was full of people, dirty Untouchables. I couldn't help but think why their name was "Untouchables" the last thing I wanted to do was touch them.
I saw a shadow getting close to me, and right then we found ourselves having a conversation. He was the leader of the Untouchables. In his voice I could hear how his poor education was showing, and it took a while for me to get used to it. I started telling him how and why I was here. He was suspicious at first, but sentence by sentence I could see that he was believing me. While he was talking, I couldn't stop thinking about by brother, my dead brother. I knew I wanted revenge for that, but also I wanted justice for my country and for these dirty people living in these camps. I had a brilliant plan, so I started developing my ideas with him. The best way to taking this to an end was starting a rebellion.
After a few days, I was starving. They didn't had enough food to even feed themselves. I realized that a rebellion couldn't take place if the people where underfed. So I came up with a system to help supply the Untouchables with the necessary resources. A few Untouchables and me starting robbing food and other supplies from the higher class. I hijacked the high class delivering system so that some packages could arrive in our camps. The food robbing raid was a successful plan and I knew soon enough we were prepared. Little by little they started regaining strength and it was only a matter of time for the rebellion to start.
