The Extinction Trials

by A.G. Riddle

the people at the top of the food pyramid don’t like any changes to the way that pyramid works.

The watch stopped working a long time ago, but it kept time for a while. Like we all do. But time marches on, a sea that we swim in for a short while, a force that drowns us all in the end.

We say that we spend time for a reason—time is a currency. In the end, it’s the only currency that matters.”

“Freedom is an illusion. Freedom is nothing more than a currency—something we spend to get something we want. We’ve always traded some amount of our freedom for the things we need for survival. We trade our freedom for financial compensation when we take jobs. We trade our freedom for safety when we allow police to search our homes and stop us when we’re walking down the street. The mesh is no different.”

It’s always been that way: your thoughts determine your words and actions, and your words and actions determine your fate in life.
