Sterilisation
Japan, 2066
In the 17 short years she has been on this planet she has witnessed a country
consumed and oppressed by the ideologies of a mad man
...

Hands patting the hard wood bunk to her right
...
Her mind
is engulfed by dread and horror in a flurry of gasps and winces
...
Turning onto the street she pushes her way through the crowd gathered at
the intersection paying their final respects to thirty people about to be decapitated
...
Women and children the main victims, unable to work in the gigantic slave labour
factories where the reward for a 20 hour shift is half a meal in the form of tablets and
supplements
...

“FOR THE FUTURE OF JAPAN! FOR THE GREATER GOOD! FOR THE
KAISHI! FOR TAKEHIKO!” Shouts one of the executioners
...
No one in the crowd moves
...
No one
raises an eye
...
No one ever interferes, the Kaishi are the government
control everything through a brutal dictatorship that will kill anyone who opposes it
...
Rikona bursts through the crowd and is met with her
worst nightmare
...
Her heart has skipped a beat
...
Shaking, hyperventilating, twitching and staring at her brothers
decapitated body lying in an expanding pool of warm blood
...
A shy young teenager who like so many others, was simply
unlucky, falling victim to this horrible society
...


Tears pouring from her eyes, Rikona allows her rage to take control of her body,
blocking out all logic and reason as she charges at one of the executioners
...

Pounding her fists into the face and throat of the executioner with the fury of an angry pit
bull
...
She doesn’t stop
...
Her fists in agony with the skin on her knuckles torn to shreds, she feels an
immense pain on the right side of her torso
...
This is surely the end, the Kaishi don’t take well to rebellion
...
But death does not come
...
Opening her
eyes, she sees herself surrounded by the now nine executioners carrying their bloody swords
...
Where is she? What happened
when she was unconscious? She feels her body growing colder and colder as she realises it is
night time
...

“Took your time waking up,” says a shy high pitched female voice from the
corner of the room
...

“You’re beat up pretty bad,” said the girl while avoiding eye contact
...

“My names is Chiyo Lu, I’m fifteen years old, my parents were executed and
Kaishi see me as an easy target
...


“Worse than execution
...
Where scissors or a red hot metal pole
is all it takes for the Kaishi to assure you of a long and painful death as infection spreads
throughout your body,”
Rikona realises why the Kaishi didn’t kill her at the execution, they wanted her to suffer
...
Steel barred door, a wooden bucket with large holes in the
corner as a toilet, a shabby sink that doesn’t work
...
Rikona
knows she has to escape the sterilisation factory, but she wont be able to do it on her own, she
needs Chiyo
...
Two voices enter the hallway with hurried and impatient footsteps
...
BEFORE…
...

“Better make a plan quick, our turn is probably 15 minutes out,”

Hiding next to the door of their make shift cell Rikona and Chiyo wait patiently
for their “appointment” to arrive
...

“Lets make this quick, the dust in this place is killing me,”
Rikona and Chiyo explode from the wall and make easy work of the unsuspecting guards
...
Walking up to the window she counts forty-six barred doors,
each that only an hour earlier contained two innocent victims destined for excruciating pain
during the last weeks, if not days, of their lives
...
Looking out to the horizon all she can see is millions
and billions of people in the streets fifty stories below
...
High rise buildings on every block overflowing with the people crammed into
them, and piles of burning bodies, easily mistaken as burning buildings in restricted areas
...
Scratch marks, fist holes and blood stains decorate the walls as she imagines
the millions of other people who have walked this path
...

“They should be here by now, what’s taking so long? Sadao, Takee, Kunio, go up
and find them
...

Immediately Rikona and Chiyo hear three pairs of footsteps racing up the staircase maybe ten
stories below, fifteen max
...

“RUN!” Chiyo says under her panting as she pulls Rikona’s arm over her
shoulders and begins to pull her up the stars
...

“THERE THEY ARE, GET THEM!” One of the men says as they quickly begin
gaining on Rikona and Chiyo
...
A final stand
...
The Kaishi would kill them sooner or later
...
The first man races up to
them, and with Chiyo by her side, Rikona shoots her leg out in a vicious kick to his legs
...
Pausing in pain she sees the
second guard draw a knife and thrust it into a stunned and frozen Chiyo, her stomach
instantly begins gushing out blood and her chest begins convulsing in shock
...
The third guard now draws his knife and stands
above Rikona
...
Completely incapacitated she lies in excruciating pain as the foot on her chest
pushes down
...
Pain
races throughout her body as she starts swinging her arms in a final attempt at survival
...
Covered in blood
...
Unmoving
...
Never
to be avenged
