20 years ago.....
"I had enough of this unfairness. Enough of this injustice towards opposite gender. Towards men. Towards boys, guys, dudes. We need changes. We need to make a move! I miss my sister, mom, cousin, aunt!"
"What do you want us to do?? I, you,him,us, we all know that even if we do make a manifestation, no results will welcome us!"
"Let's join the military, sir."
The man immediately got up, staring straight at the young man's soul.
"Are you joking right now, Joshua?"
"No I'm not, John."
"Do you want to be controlled by the gouvernent?? Do you want to lose this freedom?"
"Freedom? We've been fighting for it for 12 years now. They will make us enlists, anyways."
He had a look of doubt in his eyes.
"But why is that?"
"Obviously because we are |Dudes|."
No movements we're seen.
"So...any other solution?"
No hands we're raised.
"Any objection?",said John.
Deadly silence everywhere.
"Fine then...As the president of this club, I approve of joshie's idea... End of the meeting."
Everyone got up, getting ready to leave, tired from all of this. Tired that they have to fight 24/7 for politiques. To go trough insults, hate, mockery. They only wanted peace and quiet. No wars. No superior gender. Being able to breathe without having a word to them. Being able to love someone other then your own gender. That's what they mostly wanted...
The next day...
[ !ANNOUNCING A NEW RULE!
!ANNOUNCING A NEW RULE! 24 YEARS OLD MENS WILL HAVE TO ENLIST! WE REPEAT, 24 YEARS OLD MANS OR MORE WILL HAVE TO ENLIST! SERVING FOR 7 YEARS.]
Joshua glanced at him.
"I told you."
Another paper could be seen.
{!ANNOUNCING! ANNOUNCING! WOMENS WILL HAVE A RAISE OF 25% IN THEIR BUDGETS! WE REPEAT, WOMENS WILL HAVE A RAISE OF 25% IN THEIR BUDGETS!}
John crushed the pieces, before throwing them in a trash can.
"I am so sorry, dear future generations."
"We are truly sorry...you will have to endure it a little longer..."
I slowly opened my eyes, closing them again I'm the complete darkness. I felt something moving beside me. I looked up. My head was on Joshie's lap. Wait...why did I have him a nickname? And where are we? Stairs? What are we doing here...A huge wave of pain was felt in my back. I groaned loudly.
"Owwwww....my poor back...what happened?"
"You were tased by the crazy lady."
"And how did she caught me?"
"You suddenly spread your wings and screamed BLOOD!"
I ran my hand throughout my whole face, trying to wake up from this huge rest. I then slowly got up, trying to see if the shock was gone.
"So, Josh. What are we doing here, beside stairs?"
"I thankfully escaped from that raspy lady with a spiked bat through the stairs. Look at the number of the door."
My eyes went towards the squared frame.
"Floor 31...Weren't we on floor 52??"
"Indeed. When I finally found the staircase, I didn't think much. I just went down as far as possible from that scary place, until I ran out of breathe."
"Thanks for sacrificing your legs, bro."
"Bro? More like handsome...?"
"No."
"Please!!! You're too cute when your cheeks becomes red."
I looked away, hiding my blush.
"L-let's just go down as far as we can. I need to see grass again."
"Agree."
I hid my wings, nodding when that was done. Josh went down first. Because there are four stairs separating each floors, which we will have to the 52-31= 20, times 4 is equal to 80 staircases. Wow...He went down, steeping 80 staircases?? How can he walk?
"Aren't your legs dead?"
"Barely alive."
We laughed loudly, pouring out every emotions in us. A loud slam was heard.
"Quick! Thirteen of you, check here. We have to find them as fast as possible! GO! GO! GO!"
"YES, SIR!", they said in union.
"We're in trouble."
"I could see that."
"Down for a little game?"
"For what?"
"Let's play a classic one. Hide and seek."
We both smirked, chasing down the guards, wanting to make a surprise attack.
"Did you hear the sound, Mathieu?"
"No I didn't. What's happening?"
"Stay on your guards. They can be anywhere."
*Stabbing sound*
"AHHHHHH!"
"POLIAS!"
One man down. Twelves to go.
"A feather???"
"Surprise, you big trucks."
"Wha-"
In a matter of seconds, gun shots could be heard. One guard took about 40 seconds to beat. Josh chose a sword as his weapon. One of the guards had one so...Slices of body parts everywhere. I, my beautiful fists punched about 5 ones, while releasing feathers from my wings, sharp as a knife. Screams of horror. Screams of surprise. Screams of shock. Pants ripped. Head blew off. Stomachs got split in half. It was truly a bloody hell when one of them meet us. A red alarm was heard. Footsteps then followed.
"Better get out from there before they caught us, again."
"You have a point."
We dropped everything, heading immediately to the door.
"We won again. Hey, we should be okay in a tournament of mini games."
"We'll be the unbeatable team! Guess it's time for us to hide."
I nodded at Josh. I then felt something in my hands. It surely was bigger.
"Joshie-"
He pulled me towards him, my head bumping into his chest, right in the center.
"Better enjoy this moment in silence, gummy."
Josh asked a sudden question.
"What's your goal when you get out?"
I smiled in his chest.
"Restore equality. Want to help me, teammate?"
He smiled widely.
"It will be an honor, sir."
Before entering the floor, I had a glance towards the sky. Black was everywhere. A trail of white, pale blue dots we're seen 🌌 . The moon shined brightly in the sky. I was in my own spaceship. In my own bubble. Lost in the blue-white trail. What a perfect way to escape from the dead...
