Less Than Human
There Goes My Life.
Alex's Point of View.
They gave me a skin tight body suit.
The color was white.
I was forced into it.
I didn't ask for the pain, it was stolen from me two years ago.
I got stolen.
I was beaten.
I was scarred for life.
They gave me a number.
198.
It was tattooed on the back of my neck.
It hurt.
That's when I realized I wasn't Alex Gaskarth anymore.
I was just a number in a sea of faces that have been in this one too many times.
I'm terrified.
I'm lonely.
They shove me in a room with the other boys in the matching outfits.
They call out numbers as the men sitting in the red velvet looking chairs point at us.
"Two Twenty One" A man calls.
We called him Jake and thats the last number they call for the day.
I realize that I'm safe for one more day.
We head back to our bunkers where they keep us before we're brought back the next day.
I'm not friends with a lot of them.
I don't even talk much.
Can you blame me?
My family is gone.
My whole life.
Gone.
Everything.
Gone.
Forever.
I lie in my bed since there's really nothing to do.
What can there be to do?
They don't even allow us to speak.
I feel completely isolated.
I just want my family.
Is that too much to ask?
