Journal entry 1

My name is Ahmad and I have been one week in the Dystopian state.This week for a fact was one of the most rough, bizarre, unacceptable week of my life. it was like I was living in a prison. The only thing I have on my mind is when is my departure from this awful place will be. I was running around everywhere asking people how to escape. Every time I would ask someone for help, they would be so scared to answer because if they say anything wrong, they know the consequences. but there was one man who looked beaten up, so i asked him what happened? He said I tried to find a way to escape, and the government officials caught me, hanged me, and abused me roughly. After I heard that, i said to myself, how will i ever leave this place?
