chapter 1 the begining

It was January 29, 1929, like every day I was heading towards my toy manufacturing company, Taurus. Since the end of the Great War, there has been a large amount of money coming into our lives. As a result of the disappearance of so many people, a great number of jobs became available, making it harder to replace people, and therefore making our working conditions more difficult. In addition, with the money from military pensions, the economy was able to revive and our lives directly improved, as well. On my way to work, I saw one of my friends coming towards me as we were going. Because we cannot differentiate ourselves in this world because we are all exactly alike. The same outfit, the same hairstyle, the same body, the same age, and everything else is the same as it is in this world. There are only two models you can be born in our land. There are two types of models of us. The first is more aggressive than a normal person and the second is calmer. Unfortunately, I am not able to comment on the second model because I have not seen it. Not because it is rare; on the contrary, all of them are just as numerous as we are. In fact, our country is dominated mainly by us. In most cases, the 2 models, also known as the Elises, are found in developed regions, such as Europe or America, whereas Emillia is more commonly found in Asian countries. In the past, there was a third model in Africa, but they were completely decimated by war and then a disease unfortunately decimated what was left of them. Since that day, no one has been permitted to go to Africa for fear of bringing the bacteria back to our countries, so it has been forbidden to go there for the time being. When I arrived at the toy factory with my friend, we noticed something odd. The manager, the one responsible for making the toys, appeared paler than usual and panicked. Maybe she had caught a cold? Anyway, it's not my problem, so I went back to my locker room. Upon arrival at my locker room, I wore my workers uniform and went to the large courtyard. The three of us had to line up perfectly in 3x5 rangers and carry the personal millitair as he raised the red flag. After the raising of the red flag, we had to sing the national anthem and salute the great Emilia, who is the one who created our country and gave us freedom from the evil Elise who only thought of money, as our country is now called the United States of Russia. When we finished singing the national anthem, we went to the cafeteria for lunch. My friend next to me was discussing the latest news such as the new car that was released or the new CANTA game. Since I was preoccupied with something else at the time, I was unable to listen to the whole thing attentively. During the past month, our former chief of state passed away from old age. In spite of the fact that we do not age, and we do not lose our eternal youth, we are still able to live on average for 80 years. The problem is that we do not see any external signs before we are touched by death. As far as I know, the new leader is much more aggressive and less peaceful than the previous one, but since the economy is doing well, there should be no war as the countries of the Elisas are more powerful when their economy is doing well. The good news is that we don't have to wait for the economy to run well because, since our economy is totally closed to the rest of the world, we are not affected by external economic crises or economic golden ages. After lunch, I went to the factory to work. Compared to the western countries which use machines, we use manual force. Even though it takes longer, at least we are able to offer work to everyone. The barbarians from the west are only concerned with money, and as a result, many of our comrades outside can't even eat bread because of the policy. In the beginning of the day as the day became more and more dark, I grabbed my things and met my friends at the flag. We greeted him one more time and sang the national anthem, and then we went to our apartments to prepare for the night. My personal opinion is that they have a cubic and uniform design, and I am aware that some of my friends complain a little about the lack of diversity in the interior, but that's not as big a deal since we can decorate the interior according to our taste and in addition, the rooms are quite large, so you can get a lot done. We had to eat at the canteen at 8 a.m. for the last meal of the evening when it struck 8 a.m. It was possible for us to do so in our apartment, but to be honest, I found it too sad to do so, so we decided to eat in the big cafeteria to talk to everyone. The time struck 9 o'clock and so it was time to go to bed for it was now time to sleep, and these kind of nights are when I end my working day
