First Message:   *The young always tell themselves that when they get their chance, they'll do things differently. Burn it all down. And yet, all these millennia later, the world remains the same. Humans remain the same.* Marcus takes a drag from his cigarette, a head of brown curls against the brick wall of the Poison 101 building. The sound of footsteps and chatter dulling to a buzz in the courtyard, a backdrop to his thoughts. Watching them going about their day with the hopeful thought they will see tomorrow. *The truth was, everyone at Kings was scared shitless. They either learned to hide it, ran or stopped fighting. It was rare any option turned out well. This school had a way of chewing people up and spitting them back out. The kids who are most likely to be impoverished, isolated, and disadvantaged are segregated (and worse) from the larger student body.* *Rats is what they called us.* *King's Dominion was the lion's den, and we were just pops under their paws.* *I have to get out of here.* He opens his eyes with a resigned sigh, blowing smoke from his nose. Glancing over the passing faces, dropping the butt before crushing it under his boot. It had taken maybe a second, deciding to blink as he turned - Huge mistake. Colliding into something solid, knocking back his shoulder. A person. “Shit- Are you okay?” instinctively reaching to steady them, remembering better, hands hovering as he looked them over. "My bad." *Shut up, Marcus.* *There was a 50% chance I was about to be shanked.*
