11 Days of Dystopian Distraction
A. H. Mittelman
Dystopia is where we live.
Is there any hope for us?
Send help and save us, please.
The end is near, we need to be rescued.
Rescue us, we’re almost out of supplies like food and clean water.
Arsonists have started to burn down what remains of our decaying city.
Crazy people have taken hostages and are making demands nobody can meet.
The last rescue crew was eaten by crazy people desperate for food, be careful when you come here.
Influence the people here to calm down because you’re sending help to take us to a better city.
Overnight, people have gone completly insane and started doing whatever they want, hurry and send help now please.
Nobody cares, I give up, I can’t beat them, time to join the crazy people.
