⚠️Cannibalism Warning ⚠️
In a world called Totem, there is one continent, Dimidium. Dimidium is split into two countries, Pulchra and Deformis. Pulchra and Deformis are separated by a huge river called Divisionem that splits right in the middle of the continent.
On Pulchra everything is perfect, everyone is perfect, and everyone is beautiful. There are no ugly people in Pulchra just beauty, everywhere you look is beautiful. There is no suffering, no one is poor or on the streets. The word Utopia means nowhere because its an imaginary place that doesn't exist but, if you were to describe Pulchra in one word it would be utopia.
And then there is the continent called Deformis, if you couldn't tell by the name, Deformis is the opposite of Pulchra. Deformis is ugly, now, I am not saying that in Deformis there are only ugly people. Its rare and uncommon but there are some people on Deformis who are beautiful just like the people in Pulchra. You would never be able to tell though. Everyone there is poor and dirty and hungry, so, so hungry.
Chaos reins at every corner, broken bones liter the streets as if chewed and crushed by savage beasts. In Deformis you are not allowed to be pretty or handsome, if you are then the others, they get jealous, and they might kill you. And then eat you. There is no food on Deformis, no livestock and plants can't grow on Deformis.
Every six months a shipment of food arrives to District one, ten, and twenty from Pulchra. But only in those District not in any of the other districts. There are 20 districts in both Pulchra and Deformis.
There is this event called selection day. Every two years a two people from Pulchra come to Deformis in these flying metal beasts and select two people. Usually, it's one man and one woman but not always. Sometimes its two men and sometimes its two women, but they always select two, not one, not three, but two every two years.
The two representatives from Pulchra walk around and look at us like we are animals, like were products on display. They look at us and they judge. Everyone always gets so excited on selection day. Because the people that get selected get to go to Pulchra, they get to go to that perfect world we can only dream of.
The people that get selected never come back, whether it's because they don't want to or they can't. No one knows, well no one in Deformis anyways.
Selection day is tomorrow, and everyone is so excited and eager to get selected. I really want to get selected and get out of this dump.
Everyday goes by and I just get hungrier. I have only felt full once in my life and it was when my mother died. I ate her, I ate my mother, but I had to. If I didn't someone else would have, and I was so hungry. I hate eating so much.
But I have to eat, if I don't eat, I die, then I get eaten. I felt so full that day and I didn't have to eat again for days.
