Creative response- HIDDEN TRUTH BENEATH LIES “Wake up!” yelled a harsh voice which felt like I was coming from on top of me. I slowly began to open my exhausted eyes; everything was completely bright however no windows were visible for anyone to see where I was. I glanced around the empty room frightened as the only thing in the room was a chair carrying me up with electricity wires attached to me. I was definitely afraid to speak or question where I might be. Suddenly I heard footsteps in the near distance but couldn’t exactly know where it was coming from; the shimmering lights on top of me have gradually blinded my eyes. I then thought to myself it must be the CLP known as the controlling leadership party. My name is Stella Braxton aged 26 and lives in a toltarian society where the individuals soul is the matters of the public concern, you might realize why I literally hate this society the main reason is because you cant be who you are for this cause I don’t belong. Also the reason why I understood I was here was because I participated in sexual acts before marriage which is strongly forbidden by the government, as this crime I pursued was basically against the law and can lead to a painful death. There were a lot of questions in my mind but the most vital one was why they haven’t killed me yet' I wanted my life to end now the reason being was because I will never experience freedom again since I was caught having sexual relations with a man I loved and wanted to understand him a bit better. Suddenly I heard footsteps walking towards me and I knew who it was, I could tell by the way he walked and I was right it was definitely O’ Ryan the betrayer that me and my lover James believed in every step of the way and thought he was on our side. I guess we were just too desperate to get out of this torturous society. However, his shadow gradually got darker and darker and then he grabbed me from the root of my hair and began to speak in an authoritive tone “you are here for committing crimes against the party’s principles you might be thinking why I haven’t killed you yet are you not'” I looked above me where he was standing and gave him a look of disgust and did not reply on purpose. “Answer my question!” O’ Ryan demanded pulling my hair even harder which made me scream out “I DON’T BELONG TO YOUR SOCIETY AND I’LL NEVER WILL!” O’Ryan then carelessly detached his hand from my weakened hair and glanced around the room and stopped to stare at the electricity wires attached to me, I knew what he was thinking. He than looked at one of the guards who were distant from me surrounding me in a circle as I could only see the shadows of the built men. O’Ryan then gave one of the guards a signal which I had no clue what it meant. The tall footed man walked a long distant to where the wall was, I couldn’t see that far the only thing I could do now was listen, I was absolutely nervous. Suddenly I heard a click of a switch, it was then I realized that the switch was there to punish me by zapping me with wired electricity in order to cause manipulation to make me belong to the rest of society, but I didn’t buy it!. I could feel the power of the electricity running through me running through my weakened body hurting and aching every move I made. I can feel O’Ryan watching me from the corner of my eyes but I purposely avoided direct contact with him, he then gave the guard the same signal as before which turned off the electricity. I couldn’t feel anything I was literally numb, I wasn’t going to allow physical intimidation to force me to speak. “You will have to talk sooner or later. I will help you conform Stella. You must understand that you desperately need help since you don’t belong, what are you’re feelings towards the CLP'” he uttered to me as before I glanced and his with an angry facial expression and uttered fiercely “I DON’T NEED HELP, I AM NORMAL, THE THING THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IS THAT YOU ARENT! What do I think of the CLP' I think it’s USELESS!” As I finished off the word useless the power of the electricity wires roared to life again causing more pain and determination to give in, but I felt my conviction of not belonging to this society bursting inside of me. As the electricity wires were still zapping me I thought painfully if I was going through all this pain and torture physically and mentally, I wondered how my partner is coping and what they might be doing to him right now, I felt that he must have given up on me and was manipulated. I kept my eyes shut for a period of time until the electricity stopped. “You’re man James has confessed into sexual actions and has conformed to the rest of society”. O’Ryan uttered gracefully, I stayed silent. I knew it wasn’t true unless they threatened to put rats near his face which was known as his worst nightmare, I thought about it until O’Ryan uttered again with an evil smirk on his face “Stella, you’re wasting you’re time just give up and conform!”. I stayed silent thinking of James giving up; could it be true' I can tell that O’Ryan can see the confusion on my face as I tried to tense my facial expressions but it was too late the guard already turned on the switch again and this time I screamed on top of my lungs and it felt good, really good until I felt the electricity power reaching higher zapping me continuously, I felt the urge to scream louder and I did until the electricity was off again, however this time I felt blood dripping down from my nose running down to my chin continuously gasping for air as I was out of breath. O’Ryan then curiously came closer to me kneeling down on his knees in order to reach direct contact with my “I know you’re close to giving up Stella, it’s the right descion”. O’Ryan said with and big grin on his face, I looked at him wanting to slap my hand across his face but instead the blood running down my nose was touching my mouth as I spat in his face at the right time the fresh blood splattered from my face to his, and that felt good, really good until O’Ryan uttered to the guards “TAKE HER TO ROOM 101 IMEDIATELY!”. He was very irritated as I could tell by his facial expression and I was right as he got up from his knees and slapped me across the face, my face felt numb and weak, the guards detached me from the ropes that were tied up to my hands around my back as two guards grabbed me from each end carrying me to room 101, I knew this room was danger I imagined James coming from the other side of the room killing the guards and escaping this miserable society. I was then frightened as my day dream got interrupted by my worst nightmare which was standing right in this very room, I could feel it. O’Ryan was standing on the other side of the room excited “Stella, this is direct punishment from the CLP as we would seek any individual who would try to cause damage to the rest of society and will forcibly make them conform to the rest of society which is what you are going to experience right now. You have the choice Stella you can choose not to belong and suffer physically and mentally or you can give up and conform with others.” I looked at O’Ryan speechless and whispered breathlessly “what will be the punishment if I still won’t conform'” O’Ryan gazed at me amused “you will sit in the chair over their” O’Ryan pointed “and then the guards will turn the tubes the other direction which would be facing the position where you would sit, as you sit there four python snakes will come out of each tube and will basically attack you until death” I felt my heart pounding very hard “what happens if I give up and conform'” I questioned him “you will be let go and sent back home where you belong whilst the government watches every move you make for the rest of your life”. There was silence for a minute or two until O’Ryan uttered “Boys, take her to the tub” my heart was beating harder than ever than before as the guards held me up I started kicking me legs fiercely and screamed out “NO! NO! NO! Okay I give up I will belong to society” I uttered uselessly. The guards stopped walking towards the tub as O’Ryan came in front of us “you made a good choice Stella, now repeat after me I belong to the CLP government and will obey all the rules and regulations from the CLP party and will suffer the consequences if these laws are not obeyed”. As I repeated the words several of times I sunk in my head then O’Ryan let me go with warning me that the party will be watching me very closely, after then the word freedom never existed in my life anymore as my life was shattered cause by manipulation and being forced to conform, Meanwhile me and James saw each other again mostly in the cafeteria and moved on with our lives as the new Stella Braxton has completely conformed by force and physical intimidation.
