This is probably full of errors and other mishaps, but I appreciate criticism and comments. I probably exaggerated a bit, but so did Orwell when he wrote "1984".


I swiftly walked down the New York harbor, fearing for my own safety as well as my father’s. But that is another story which I do not have the time to explain. I quickly sidestepped another man wearing the circle, symbolic of his faction in the ongoing war. I picked up the scent of poison gas and quickly made a turn to the left to avoid a death that seemed inevitable. I would soon be discovered as a heretic, not having enough loyalty to the church. After all,I had always drew suspicion to myself ever since I was brought up into the school of western religion, or the circle. I attempted to fit in, I even wore the clothes that were regulated by the government, except for one exception. Yesterday, my father gave me a shirt which had a small double helix on the bottom, which I heard many times was the sign of evil. He told me that I must wear this shirt each and every day, and the next day after he gave me this shirt he died. So I kept my promise that I would, although once somebody notice the helix on my shirt I would surely be sentenced to death. This is only my second day wearing the shirt, I am surprised that nobidy noticed the helix yet, which had been condemned as the sign of the devil in school. As I started walking home, my apartment door opened without resistance, and I stepped inside. Under the bed, I saw a book labeled “the origin of species”. As I opened the book, I realized that it included the word “scientific” inside the first page, what a dirty book! It is surely condemned by the church. Over the course of the next few days, I finished reading the book, which fascinated me. It seemed to be some myth from a foreign religion, surely false, but still extremely interesting. Everyone knew that the church’s plan of creation was by far the most truthful and accurate. Inside this book were all sorts of words either condemned by the church, or government, or words that I had never heard of. “Logic”, “rational”, and “reason” were the words of the devil included within this book. Then as I approached halfway through the book, I noticed a picture of the same double helix that was on the tunic my father have me! It was supposedly called “DNA”. I began to ponder if my father was a believer in such a religion, and if he really thought that the absurd ideas in this book were true! Oh well, I guess my intuition about my father was wrong, he was an enemy of the church! I did not sleep well that night, I was troubled with pictures of my father and the double helix which haunted my dreams. When I woke up that night, I discovered another book outside my doorway, which was titled “Secular government”. Another book! I was shocked, but I had to go to mandatory church. So I sat down, and heard the priest chant the usual creation law that the top theologians had discovered. When asked If I felt god, although I honestly did not the past week. When I returned home, I picked up “secular government”, and started reading it. Supposedly there had been somewhere called “America”, which had a secular government. This book was full of information that would be prohibited by the church and burnt. Most of the book I did not understand anyways, how could society exist without god? Since god is real why is it even worth any value to separate government from god? Then I saw one sentence that set myself on a new path.
“Question the church”. What a preposterous idea, yet it seemed that my father would be the sort of person to advocate it. So I decided to question the church and the authority that the possessed. I started asking what the world around me is called, instead of the concepts of the supernatural they church had proposed. Suddenly a word came into my head “nature”. I remember my father talking about nature in length to me, and I remember the churches priests yelling at him for using the word. As I fell asleep last night, I dreamed of trees, waterfalls, and other things that the church had abandoned to fight the church of the eastern triangle. When I woke up, as I started walking to work I spotted a man with the double helix one his waist band! Either a coincidence or this man somehow knew me. He slipped me a note that said “tomorrow morning: 8:00 follow me”. The next morning I woke up and ran to the door, then out of the corner of my eye I noticed the same man with the double helix on his belt. I slowly walked after him, the church would surely notice us following each other if we were too obvious. After following him for about two miles, he took a sharp turn into an alleyway, and gestured for me to catch up to him. I subtly caught up to him, and I suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness. I was surrounded by bars, and I saw a dark figure approaching me. It was the man with a double helix, who apparently was evil, but beside him was a man with the symbol of the western church. “You have been tricked”, he said. Was my father’s double helix an attempt to trick me? Why would my father want to do something like that? These questions pained me as I went to slowly fell to sleep in my cell. Cling! I felt a lash of pain on my back and I saw the face of the man with the double helix. Where did your father go?! “ I don’t k..n.o..w.. “ I stuttered. Another lash of pain came on my back, and I told him that my father died two days ago. Clearly, the man was dissatisfied as he walked away. I spent a day in my cell, wondering about the ideas that my father talked to me about nature and science, and quickly feel asleep that night.

I suddenly woke up and saw the face of a young man who looked about 25, yet his face showed somebody who has went through considerable suffering and struggle in his life. “Get up!” he yelled! I shuddered away, thinking that this was another man of the holy church, although on his belt was the sign of the double helix. “You are Sintay’s son right?”. “yes”, I replied. He quickly poured a liquid on the bars, which caused them to disintegrate into pure vapor. This was a phenomenon I had never seen, and was amazed by the power of this liquid, yet we did not get much time to observe the gaseous metal since the man quickly told me we did not have much time and we rushed along the halls of the prison. Quickly we made our way out of the prison and I was startled by the coolness of the air in the city. We made our way into a deserted alleyway and I paused thinking that I ended up in prison the last time I followed a man with the helix into an alleyway. Yet something about this man seemed to be almost familiar to me, so I followed him until we were at the end of the alleyway, and he muttered something unheard, and suddenly we both dropped into a dark subway…

We seemed to be moving extremely quickly, and suddenly the man started talking to me. Abruptly he stated “I knew your father”. I was so stunned at the man’s cold voice that I could not speak. Although in the past few days I had started appreciating the natural world much more, I still held complete trust in an omniscient deity, who is watching my every action with the keenest of eye. The man seemed to be anticipating my thoughts, for quickly he said “Don’t worry, god is absent right now”. Now, I was truly shocked, how could god somehow be absent in any part of the world? I was surprised that a man like this was not condemned as a heretic by the church or otherwise stricken down by the supreme being.

The man looked distressed, and said “the church has trained you to think in a certain way, yet have you not found the books I gave you wonderful”? This was the man whom delivered me the mysterious books! Suddenly a conversation sprung up between us about the various complexities in the book which he seemed to know a great deal about. Suddenly the train came to an abrupt halt, and we walked down into an underground corridor. We walked for about 5 minutes through a hallway with clear white glass, until we came upon a door made of solid steel. The man opened the door, and inside was a group of about fifteen men and women ranging from the age of about 20 to 70. Among them was my father, who was sitting in a white plaid coat looking quite content. Quickly, I ran up to him and we exhanged a benevolent, intense greeting, as I marveled at they very fact of him being alive. In his scruffly voice, he exlaimed “I faked my own death, the church had found I was a heretic”. Then, my father handed me a 5-inch packet while communicating “Please read this, you will have to if you wish to understand who these people are and why they are here”.

The packet had the title “the truth”. And a subtitle which read “this packet will be destroyed when dropped in water”. On the first page, the first sentence was “to understand this book, you must try to clear your mind of what you already know, keep an open mind.” Then after that it said “this book is pure fact, without bias or changing, and everything in this book happened in history”. I learned a great deal from this book, although I was unsure of the truth of it since it seemed highly contrary to the churches opinions. After I finished reading the book, I attempted to write a synopsis, this is my attempt to write one:

Before the Eastern and Western churches were formed, their were many different religions in the world , and each had different values and opinions on the world. However, their were two prominent faiths, or religions, which names are not important. Each of these religions had three different believers: Fundamentalists, moderates, and liberals. The liberals were the least dependent on the religion and regarded the religion with interpretation, while fundamentalists were the opposite, devoting their life to their religion, which caused them to believe that the word of the prophets are inerrant, or without error. Also, there were freethinkers, or the irreligious, which did not follow a religion. Their also used to exist something called “the scientific method”. Often the scientific method leads a person to conclude that a deity does not exist, which angered the religious fundamentalists. However, the liberals in a religion embraced the scientific method and explained it as “the poetry of reality”. Science, or the study of reality, was taught to children worldwide, and helped humankind advance in many ways. Their were many more freethinkers, since astronomy and physics often contradicted with religious beliefs. Fundamentalists attempted to have certain scientific theories banned from schools. Physics, which were attempting to discover a “theory of everything”, which explains the universe. Once this theory is discovered, god would be either revealed or proven impossible. Finally, the physical scientists discovered this theory, and this theory did not incorporate a god. However, a fundamentalist discovered this theory and could not believe it, so quickly he returned to a fundamentalist church and told them the news. Enraged, the church eradicated the formula, or theory of everything, and it was lost. However, the fundamentalists knew that this theory would soon be discovered by other physicists. So huckabee, president of the United States at the time, and fundamentalist, quickly ordered the army to go on a mission to destroy science. Science was destroyed, and Huckabee was convinced he was doing “god’s work”. After science was eradicated, he assumed dictatorship over the United States, which is the country that he led. He used the power of his army and weapons to destroy other developed nations who were largely secular, and finally forced religion on each and every person. Similar events occurred in the Eastern part of the world, leading to a dictator. Now the two sections of the world are in a stalemate, with two major powers. Although these occurrences may sound frightful, what about god? Soon that question was also answered. Since science did not even fully comprehend reality, how is it possible to understand the ruler of reality? Since it is impossible to comprehend the ruler of reality, all religions must be inherently false.. After I finished reading this packet, my dad smiled and opened the door. My father invited me to sit down and told me “now you know what really has happened to the world and the lies that organized religion spreads, but do you understand why we are here? Although the numbers of the country I have established are only about three million, we are not dedicated to warring with the other two nations in the world. We are the world’s only hope to preserve knowledge and science. If we are vanquished, then humankind will lose all knowledge of the universe and turn into a permanent theocracy. Hopefully, one day people will come to their senses, rebel against the church, and we will help with the rebellion. However, until that date we must perform the duty to humanity so save knowledge and science from the entangling roots of faith, and the futile attempts of organized religion to somehow comprehend a god, if there is one at all. We even hold a copy of “the theory of everything”, in our archives, although only I and my advisors around me have ever seen it.
