The Floss

 

To My Darling,

There was a time when you were little, where we would say ‘They’re spying on me through my phone’. Eventually, over time, we imagined it would become ‘my phone is spying on me’. That time has come. Technology has become the way of the world and the way of the government to keep control of us.

About 30 years ago, the Coronavirus had finally died down. It had become very uncommon to have covid. But last year, it came back again. We believe it is the governments doing.

There were wars raging every day. Some bigger than others. Just last week, there were bomb raids about two towns over. All you can hear is the loud bangs of the guns and the explosions. All you can smell is smoke and fire. The earth was falling apart. And we were the ones destroying it. Everybody in the world had guns and nuclear weapons at the ready. It was common knowledge that there was weaponry in every house. Every school. Every library. Every school bag, including those of young children.

The earth was falling apart because of these wars and something the government calls climate change. It was becoming very hot and humid every day. The sun intensified and there was little water. The water we did have, was dirty and full of bugs and bacteria. Although this was occurring and people were dying all the time, the population continued to increase. The average family had five children.

The government had been looking into ways to cull the human population as it was getting out of control. They tried everything. Until one day they came across the coronavirus again, they decided to release it. It has worked. Millions and millions of people have died in the last year because of this.

The government have connected themselves to our phones. The phones are spying on us. They record everything we look up and look at on there, they are constantly filming us and recording what phone calls we make and who we talk to. All this data is sent to the government. Whenever they discover something they do not like, they ensure we get Covid. The intention is for us to die. Over the years the government had gotten more and more powerful. No one knows who controls the government anymore because it changes so frequently. But it is the same process. Someone makes a phone call.  Government shuts off the phone. They get Covid. Within a week, they’re usually dead. If they’re not and miraculously survive the ordeal, they are incredibly lucky. Until the government finds out and they just repeatedly give out the virus until it does the job. The only thing that is safe are letters. We believe.

We are scared for our lives. We can’t do anything without the government knowing and if we do the wrong thing, we know about it. We must wear face masks every day in the hope we do not catch this virus from somebody in the street. Hazmat suits are required in every building, especially government run places. The government is not known to have covid. They are the most powerful and controlling. They ensure one another do not get it.

There is a group called the Floss. No one knows what it stands for or what it means. The Floss is a group opposing the government. They have weekly meetings about how they want to overthrow the government. I’m not sure what they’re planning or if it will work. They tell us to behave but to do what we can to mess with the government. As they’re low on security cameras now due to the damage from wars. It is easy to use graffiti and vandalise their buildings and mess with the government. Just last week, I threw a tree into the back doors of the government building, smashing all the windows in a 5m radius. The Floss will slowly but surely take over.

The good thing is, I haven’t got the virus yet. I am 30kgs lighter than I was, and my bones are much more visible, but I am fine. I’ve been doing what I can to stay alive in the hope of seeing you again. I miss you so much pumpkin, I hope you and your family are safe and well. I’m glad you left when you did. I do not want to see you go through this. I’m so proud of you.

Hopefully we can sing our song again soon. I can’t quite remember how it goes but we will work it out when I see you again.

 

I love you Pumpkin,

-          M.
