Mutant on the Run
Your whole life, you live, day in, day out, in a place filled with misery, watching your friends get punished until they’re almost unrecognisable, knowing you could be next with one mistake. Either that or you’re taken away, never to be seen again, just like your best friend. How do you feel, what do you think? You’re told the world outside is lifeless and baron, though all you see under the sky is the grey, cold concrete walls that surround you. Wouldn’t you want to see for yourself what it’s like? Nothings gotta be worse than the hell you’re in now, but at least you’re fed, educated and sheltered. This is the curiosity that almost killed James. Escape means fear, trying to live normally in a world that hates you without reason. You escape to find a lush and flourishing world, but it’s cruel and harsh, but you know you can’t, shouldn’t go back. In a world that seems to hate you, though you’ve done nothing to deserve it. In a time, a couple hundred years after the war had ended, James, a young man from Australia grows up knowing only the grey walls in the prison around him. He lives there with his fellow mutants, but unlike the others, he wonders about, dreams of, longs for a life of freedom, outside.
