AMONG US



It was year the 2077 where everything was readily available in one touch. Anthro was a 6-year-old introvert boy lived along his father and mother. He lived in a highly developed modern metropolis. The whole city was isolated in such a way that it is considered a large incubator. His father was a well known software developer. He worked for a company which developed robots. These robots did most of the jobs humans could do and soon after they accepted by the society the replaced most of humans from their jobs. Unlike the three classes of people that existed in the past years in this modern era only the elite and poor existed. Elite people who could afford and cope with developing technology lived without even noticing the people living in the streets. People of lower class were struggling. Most of the jobs they used to do were now undertaken by machines. They were jobless and it was difficult for them to find food for children. Anthro was one among the elite family who used to live in the tall buildings which had all the facilities. Even the plants and gardens was set inside that did not even need sunlight. So he was very much restricted from the outside world or say he had everything he need within the perimeter. He used to think of other children living near to his home.

This continued all along his childhood, knowing only two life forms along his life. He loved his father very much, every night after work he would share all his daily activities. His father on his childhood days lived on the outskirts with his father. He used to tell anthro about the farm house, animals, plants and vegetables, and he promised one day he will take him there.

He overheard their conversation. It was a shocking for him. The company which he was working for was going to test on a highly destructive weapon which was previously discarded due to its less success rate. He was scared that the testing was going to conduct again. He rushed to his office grabbed his car keys, went home told his wife about the situation. There will be nothing that could be done if the testing was conducted again. He always wanted to return to his old farm house, and this was the best time for that. He told the family to pack all the things and wait for on the start of the village road. He needed to do one last part for the experiment to not take place. He went back to his workplace and without anyone noticing took the master key for the weapon and kept inside his pocket. The building had a highly intelligent security system....
