    Is this a short story or the beginning of something longer? IMO, either way, it leaves off in a bad spot. Plus it moves too quickly. I hardly have an ...

    A bit better than your usual work, but still lacking in BACKUP! You can't argue anything on sheer opinion. I could argue how McDonalds, Myspace, Starbucks, and Wal-Mart are going ...

    This seems more like an outline than an actual piece of work, my friend. ;) First of all, you don't back anything up, which leads to propaganda. Do some research, ...

    Everyone knows the government lies. It's really common knowledge. Now I'm going to nitpick your grammar, since Bloo didn't. You have an issue with too many commas. Commas are used ...

    I hate the beginning. It feels so cliche. "There I was... I was at the dentist when it happened..." UGH! Find something else! >.< Aside from that, this was FANTASTIC. ...

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
