Dark blue

-I lied to people and to myself way too much for so many years. I thought that mankind still stands a chance, that people still know to think on their own, not just manipulated by psychopathic leaders who want nothing but to kill and destroy all that’s good in this world. Damn, I wished for all this to change, but I was wrong. So terribly wrong... And I’m sick of trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I’m sick of being optimistic about the future of mankind. There is no hope, do you understand that? It doesn’t exist!

Still, this was not the only thing that was special about her. There were a lot more than anyone could ever imagine.

-You know... You are the first person from outside that I invite down here, she said after being silent for five minutes.

-Yes, I figured that.

-I hope you know what that means. Lately I’ve been going out of here, but this didn’t happen so often before. I lived 90 % of my life down here. No school, no friends, no real life, just me, my mother and the darkness in this place. Why are we living down here, you may ask. Well, let’s see. It happened not so long ago...
