“In Desperate Need of a Hero   Dear red, white, and blue Is there still hope for you? I wonder   Perhaps with someone in power Who slaves by the hour To remain true?   A person of dignity Who’s not a give-me Or quota-fill   No reek of greed No corruptive seed Growing unchecked   A leader who can inspire Who raises people higher Than themselves   A soul with grace Not colored by race Of any kind   A take-charge warrior An environmental voyeur Who loves this planet   A Hero to lead With only one creed: America   Where do we find such belief? When do we get the relief? Of being loved in return   We’d die for the President Would he pay the same rent? Of course not!   Your sacrifice we do not require We serve willingly, sire If you’re worthy If you will get your hands a bit dirty To further our lives And enrich our minds To earn our trust It’s all or bust And always America first!”

The year the first ‘good’ female won, she asked for what all of the population wanted –a mate and a family. In that moment, the Network seized an opportunity. They already owned most of the healthy males on New American soil and charged outrageous prices for the purchase or use of one. When that bloody winner had asked for a mate, the Network changed the rules, making the prize a man. After that, they could pass any law they wanted.”

How do you feel?” Kenn took in Adrian’s dusty jeans and wrinkled camouflage shirt.

“I moved back toward those deceptively safe red curtains, and tugged a string to let my cloak fall to the stone floor. Under it, I wore a laced outfit of thin, black strips that left my backside gloriously bare from ears to thighs. There was silence for nearly a full second.
