Ignorance

I had my evening meal, I went into our main room. It was a room colored gray, and with a few stools and a small screen on the wall for public announcements. Right next to it was a speaker that worked using radio frequencies to cast personal announcements to a certain person.
“Goodnight, Father.” I said. “Goodnight, Mother.”
“Goodnight, Max.” Mother and Father sounded in unison.
What a shame, they have no idea of what abilities i posses. I’m actually am surprised that I have not taken this all to my advantage and killed the Elders. They are all fools.
The Elders are the useless people who run our entire society. They do a horrible job. They also came up with Departing, or killing people with a shot of poison. You either get killed when you are 60, or you get killed by someone else.
Thats just how it is in today’s world.
