What is known as h0pe bi-weekly costs twenty percent of a standard paycheck. It is administered by trained professionals and injected directly into the brain. The chemical formula was approved and distributed like wildfire. Those who are unable to attain it rely on illegal substances. The sentence for taking non-prescribed h0pe is f3ar. Distribution of illegally procured or manufactured h0pe is punishable by d3spair. Bodies of those afflicted with d3spair are gathered for chemical studies. Word on the street is that the government is trying to create a substance to control the masses as if h0pe is a mind control device. If you want the truth: the government merely wishes to keep society content. I've been off h0pe for three months, and after difficult withdrawals and a few close calls with authorities, I finally understand what it took away from us. h0pe takes away the ability to suffer. To strive. Unable to face pain, this explains why only a few artists exist. Entertainment became such a saturated market that nothing alleviated the daily grind. If I keep quiet and abuse my newfound freedom, no one will do a thing to me. However, I've received countless messages insisting upon silence or else. Sure, original and beautiful entertainment is a rarity these days, but under the guise of h0pe, no one is the wiser. If you are seeing this, I beg of you. Do not give in to the effects of administered h0pe. Forge your own path. Be what you want to be and what you want to do. Do not linger on what the world lacks. Do not fall prey to the pleasure of addiction. Use whatever freedom you have and march ever onward toward tomorrow.
