Does it count as an experiment when they put you on drugs because they don’t like that you are different. You are underage you don’t have a say. You ask for blue hair for Christmas You are instead instructed to take speed. The one thing you had going for yourself was cross country. You were in the junior Olympics you were a well oiled machine and then you were passed out on the trail a side effect of some drug that has since been taken off the market
Does it count as eugenics when they steal your children. Take them away from bad breeding. Make their decisions for both them and for you. At differing ages from before birth until 12. But they still haven’t told you who’s deciding.
Does it still count as rape when they tell you to your face you won’t remember and then all you know is needles machines and hallucinations. 3 weeks of confusion though they swear you were in a coma. It wasn’t black it was delusional but made sense at the time.

Go live your life. Here’s a new start.
