The very first thing that came to all of The Poor’s mind was, “What is law?”
Law and order was once just before Gregg’s rule. After the separation between The Poor and Rich, law and order outside of the force field was nothing but just words.
Because of that, all of The Poor had no choice but to be like barbarians, scavenging for food and be extremely territorial and selfish. Everyone only cared about themselves and how they can survive.
Everyday when you wake up and walk outside, you’ll see dead bodies lying every where on the street. It soon became a common sight and the stench became the daily morning dew. That was until Reynolds rallied The Poor and started a system of community and support amongst a small group of individuals. He gave out food and provided shelter, though limited to as many people as he could. Food was obviously scavenged and shelter make-shift. Nonetheless, it was better than nothing. This magnanimous act of his eventually brought all of The Poor together and all everyone stood strong since then. There is a saying that when you are less, you are more. In this case, all The Poor stand together as one, with humility so strong that whatever may come, they are united and undeterred.
Basic law and order was established and it was drafted with everyone’s presence. In other words, it was a lawful and just society that every person agrees with. Reynolds started to expand on sustainability and using seeds he smuggled through the force field, an underground greenhouse was constructed and slowly, staples were becoming more available for the mass population. Everyone practised the “3 Goods”: Know the Good, Love the Good and Do the Good. Reynolds was a leader with great vision and charisma.
Unlike him, was Gregg, who was power hungry. Well, he was once a humble man. Almost like Reynolds. It was rumored that they were once great friends until something happened. But nobody knows why.
Now, the once flourished city is walled up with a force field, with an authoritarian leader and militarised regime. Only the richest of The Rich were the ones in control of the law. Even so, money couldn’t buy them true happiness but only momentary freedom. So how free are The Rich truly? Nobody knows, except for those who live with the capsule of inhumane living conditions. Well, not really, since some managed to escape into from it into The Poor and lived to tell the story. This included Reynolds.
So, law versus the law. What is to come? Which society triumphs? That is up to you to decide.
