ERIMS

The Exciting Rambunctious Idea Mania Society. A single rung supported the engraved metallic print, the lopsided sign a final shrine to the once grand society of ERIMS.
Newcomers are greeted by an awe-inspiring display of brilliant electronics and flashing lights. Neon signs flicker excitedly on either side of the entrance. The entrance has 4 doors. They are labeled Men, Women, Releases, and Employees Only. The 6 men and 6 women being transported from Outer Realm are filed into their individual lines according to body weight, sex, wits, and beauty. Only the best are allowed into the employee only room where they will continue their lives in a steaming spa; never to face the dangers of the outside world again. Men and women alike have gone insane with envy gazing upon the steam rising into the warm summer air. A single man and woman are accepted today and the other 10 file disappointedly into Sector 2. As they do, 5 men and 5 women are released.
Beyond the sign are two concrete slabs. A frayed wire runs between them, having been inactive for many decades now. If you look closely, you may see 3 evenly placed indents in the ground between the slabs; the 4 exits that Rebellion had overrun in Final Severeum. Between the far indent and the slab to its right is a single bone, bleached out by the sun. A reputable doctor will tell you it’s a human femur. Its not. It’s the remains of a wing.
Today is the day that Uprising will commence. The newcomers are surveillance who have hidden weaponry under their heavy cloaks. The underpaid guards in Sector 2 had not bothered to check. They would be disposed of later. At 8:82 AM on Workday, 2778, 81 million people from the research unit, business unit, mining fields, and domestic forces fought back. At 8:85 AM, ERIMS was bombed by Deployment Squad 6. Workers and detainees became one. At 8:87 AM, the last man dropped to his knees and died in a puddle of his own blood. His back was torn and shredded and his shoulder blades nonexistent. In their place was a pair of handcrafted wings, artificially grown in the womb of a giant bird. He had been government test subject #4,769,192, an unwilling participant in the Experimental Research In Marxist Socialism government employed jail.
Research and mining fields have long since been overtaken by fresh green grass and the business and domestic dormitories are now disintegrated and recycled. Nature has given man a second chance to rebuild over its monstrous society. Man has been given another Chance.
