The Son has Risen.

“THE TIME IS NOW! LET US OVERCOME THE TRANSGRESSIONS THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS BESTOWED UPON US. WE SHALL NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO SIT BY AND ALLOW THE INJUSTICES TO GROW. OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH, WHY DOES OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOW RELIGION TO CO-EXIST AND MEDDLE IN STATE AFFAIRS? THEY WANT THE ILLUSION THAT JUSTICE FOR THE RICH AND POWERFUL WILL COME IN THE END. BUT I SAY THAT IS TO LATE, JUSTICE NEEDS TO COME NOW! I’M NOT SAYING CLASSES WILL BE ABOLISHED OR THAT WE WILL ALL BE ON THE SAME FINANCIAL LEVEL. HOWEVER, WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS NO MATTER THE BANK FIGURES OR INFLUENCE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MAY HOLD. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT WE SHOULD ALL BE JUDGED EQUALLY IN THE COURT AND IN EVERYDAY LIFE, NOT IN DEATH. I’VE GATHERED YOU ALL HERE TODAY, TO SHOW THIS NATION AND HOPEFULLY THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THOSE THAT HAVE RISEN FROM THEIR SHACKLES FROM THE DARK LIT CAVE HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THE IMAGES ON THE WALL ARE JUST THAT, IMAGES OF FALSE HOPES AND DESIRES. COME WITH ME NOW AND WE SHALL FREE OUR BRETHREN AND SHOW THEM THE TRUTH. WE SHALL NOT BE FORGETFUL OF WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM AND TO WHERE WE MUST PROCEED. LET US GO!”

“Alpha to HQ, Alpha to HQ, requesting permission to fire.”

“Alpha, this is HQ, Permission granted, fire when ready.”

“Wind, fifteen kilometers from the southeast. Distance, Three hundred meters, if you have the shot, take it.”

On October twenty-second of last year, a great philosopher that was to revolutionize this nation was assassinated. An uprising of more than 30,000 people became quelled with only one bullet. The government still refuses to claim responsibility; for my father’s death was actually the last thing the government wanted. For that life was turned into hundreds of thousands of new supporters and today we march again to end what I began.

    This is so relevant to my train of thoughts lately. Very intriguing! My opinion… there are too many churches to have one run an entire state. There are too many people to have one in power.

  • Do you think the twist is prevalent enough? I had it pretty blunt but edited some to make it more subtle. Did you get that the son actually murdered his own father to frame the government to enrage the people even further against the gov’n?

  • I didn’t even reply to your thoughts, mine as well, hence the story :)
    I like that statement that you pose. I had a interesting revelation when someone was telling me what they thought about Orwell’s Animal Farm, and I was like “That sounds a lot like why the government allows religion” to give the poor something to cover their eyes with and hold on to allowing the government to keep doing as they please without any uprising.

    I think the twist is prevalent. I think the biggest hint to what really happened is the title. It was very clear that the death brought revolution and that the government had not caused it. I do like that twist. It adds much dimension.

  • Thanks :P
