The Only

Britain, 2025

The Government look out for us. (Don’t they?)

Everything we need is given to us by the Government, they choose where we live, what we eat, what job we do, we don’t have to worry about anything. The Government saved us. (Didn’t they?)

After the flu pandemic if they hadn’t mobilised the military we’d have all killed each other. We’re happy with the way things are. (Aren’t we?)

Of course we are - if we keep the rules, they keep us safe. You’d have to be mad to go against them. I wouldn’t. Why would I, I’m a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl used to doing what I’m told. But now my brother’s life is on the line . . .

Would I?

How could I?
