Vagrant SECTION 3

A mysterious stranger rolls into town with a gift.

An ordinary and predictable evening in Centerville in 2057. The streets are quiet and the yards are empty as the trees bathe in the golden Autumn sun and dance in the brisk wind. All across towns people all huddle inside and retreat to their respective rooms. Kids play on their phones and miniature computers, while parents are locked into virtual reality live feeds on colony of Teratall, located on Mars. Eager to digitally explore, they have placed their names on the visitors list for the real life trip in hybrid rockets, and the virtual tour. Kids across town have completed their homework without touching a single object. The answers are transmitted from their brain onto a chip and is delivered to the teacher. Classes for telepathy are now a requirement, along with human sensitivity, cultural exploration and and bilingual arts. Children are referred to only as children, with gender being an obsolete term as well illegal. If used, it sends an automatic transmission to police and a representative will come to issue your punishment. 1st offense is a simple fine along the lines of speeding, or gas gluttony. 2nd time is a misademor usually served with probation or yard initiative, a punishment designed to make people stay outside for 12 hours in a day with small jobs and tasks to complete. 3rd is jail time. Serial offenders viewed as unrehabiliatble, will get sent away to Pangea. An island named after an historical time before the continent's separated and was one huge land mass. The name Pangea serves a symbolic point to remind the inhabitants that they are separate from the rest of the planet's. Alone for thousands miles, the tiny island in the Sea Of Justice serves pills 3 times a day for meals, and keeps you inside a 6x10 blank cell with no human interaction and disabled micro chips block any television or VR travel. Old books about gender and race equality serve as the only thing within the rubber cell. After 10 years a truth serum will be injected into the inmate and reveal if true change and tolerance exist. If failed they wait another 10 years and remove the books. After the 2nd test is taken, they go back to their own country number if passed, or they go the evaporation simulator in country #71, formerly known as Australia. After evaporation, anyone who knew you will have the burden of your memory erased. Intolerance is simply not tolerated and Congressman Minaj is pushing for a version of truth seram to systematically go through data grids of brains to check for negative thoughts toward race or gender. Some are opposed, but she thinks attacking intolerance at it's source will effectively prevent a verbal or digital infraction from occurring out of fear of ending up at Katelin R Jenner memorial center for the intolerant and rude. Country #7, formerly Russia and the dictatorship ran Soviet Union before that, are under fire from the lands today when they refused to let a gay parade be aired on Slovatrek Kids network. Slovatrek is the most popular kids program in the section, and that is exactly why spokespeople such as Terr-E Wilks and Sam Same are outraged and insist that they be charged with neglect and abuse if they don't air it. Remember, section 7 was one of the lsst10 territories that refused to drop their old name and sign the The Declaration Of People Animal Enviroment Act Of Equality Act in 2040
