Dear Blog,
These four gray walls surround me here. They are all I have to look at; my only companion. I am losing my mind. The abuse I face from the guards is my only human contact. The bars and fences are the only thing keeping me from the world beyond. But am I even missing anything? What is the point of living if you can't live to your full potential? Sure, I could break out of here easily, but then what?
I'd have to go on with this miserable life. My strength would be weighed down. My intelligence would be beeped out. My face would be concealed with the most hideous of masks. I would constantly be on the run from the Handicapper Generals for the rest of my life. I can't take this anymore, any of it. I have to get out of here.
I don't know what is about to come next. Something big is about to take place, events that could change the world as we know it. Consequences will be harsh, but I think it is worth it to get people talking. To make them realize what society could be if the handicaps were destroyed. So, if you're reading thing, take of your beepers, buzzers, masks and weights, and let the revolution begin.
