It was quick. It was clean. It was... Freedom. But at what cost? The day after it reached stores, there were riots. More people died in the riots than because of It, that first week. There were violent protests, and lots of people got hurt. They said that It was from the devil. They said It was wrong. They said It should be illegal. In the end, they were the ones using It the most. A month after it had come out, people began using It. Before that, they had been too scared. But then things had settled down. It was the perfect time for It, too. The economy was breaking down. People were so rude. Everyone was miserable. It was the perfect solution. The end to all your problems. A year later, and the population was finally at a managable level. For the first time in a decade, people could freely walk the streets without worry of being run over, being mugged, or even being raped. #life was improving. But the population continued to decline. The government put a new plan into place. Take It away. The people didn't like that. Not one bit. That month, no children went to school. No people went to work. Offices sat empty. No food was being made, nor water being cleaned. People sat in their houses and slowly rotted away. Then the government quickly gave It back to the people. Along with something new. Children! Grown in labs, and given to families mandatorialy. The population leveled out. Then the real trouble started. Other countries wanted It as well. Wars were going to be fought. Except no one wanted to fight. The solution was simple. Nuclear War. No soldiers, no mess, no fighting. Until the first missile was sent. It was only days before the humans were down to the thousands, and nearly nothing else survived. We live now like rats, squabbling over It like it was the last bit of cheese. After all, It's quick. It's clean. It's the last thing you'll ever need. The Suicide Pill, By Marin Korporal So, take it with water or take it dry, Take it when you begin to cry.
