Freedom Dollar

What is freedom but the ability to make choices? Between courage and cowardice, duty and love, or even heaven and hell. The nature of the choices we make define us as human beings. Ultimately we choose the world we inhabit. Only 33 yrs yet already sporting wrinkles of someone twice her age Deborah had not the luxury to accentuate the rather attractive woman beneath the dirt and grime. As second in command in the PLA (Peoples liberation army) she carried much responsibility that made her wonder how she got it. It was through she was strong as steel but she wished this war would be over so she could once again be a woman not some G.I Jane freedom fighter. She sometimes wondered what would of happened if she had gone along with the majority, in truth how important was the freedom she was fighting so hard to secure.

Before the rebellion she worked at the World Bank as an administrative assistant to the President. The crash of 2009 followed by the swine flu outbreak left the world in financial ruins. The world’s top economists from the G20 advised that sometimes you must prune undesirable things in order that the entire organism survive, with that the poverty and diseased stricken in the developing world and the developed world were left to die. Deborah had never seen corpses pilled so high, it was as if some one gave the world an enema and the rest was left to smell the stench and clean up the shit. After the population reached an acceptable and manageable number Draconian measures became the norm. Groups that were high risked to disturbed the status quo was dealt with cruelly. Forced sterilizations became frequent food and water were distributed to the population in rations you were only given the necessary. Everyone was forced to wear the same kind of clothes and no matter your profession you were given the same pay.

Still no one sad anything, it was like we became a world of sheep being led willingly to the slaughter. It is true though you can only push people so far before some faction decides enough is enough. In 2050the entire world went cashless the dollar was no longer circulating everything operated by credit. This cause riots in the streets, the strength of the military could not be undone and every riot or protest was quelled by violence and blood. So it was in the land of brave did liberty die? Until Deborah sicken to her stomach funded the alliance with the grates gift she could give a printing press design to spew money in the thousands every hour. The PLA was truly enriched a dollar was more than just a dollar it signified tings about the people’s fight and struggle to achieve great things. It also reminded us that out there in the universe there’s something bigger than man.

The underground mint fueled new hope around the world as rumors of the US rebellion printing money reached hopeful hearts around the world. However the media or the mouthpiece of the government silenced these as propaganda. It became clear people would not rally against the governments if there was no symbol to light there way. So it was that this night in the dark underground the decision was made to have six strong souls run across borders to deliver a one-dollar bill so as to inspire people to fight. Deborah closed her eyes against the guilt at bringing the printing press as she watched her only son gear himself for his path in the mission. “Josh” she said “please cut your ponytail off it’s illegal you know that” he gave her a look as if to say “ I won’t forget so stop fussing”. He was so happy to be chosen by Alexander, Deborah new however why Alexander had chosen Josh. Josh was his illegitimate son and Alexander leader of the rebellion was married a direct descendant Ben Franklin one of the founding father’s .In her veins ran a symbol of American freedom that inspired the rebellion in the states, no other country had such a link as those things that associated with the past were eradicated without prejudice. Deborah as betrayed and fearful for her son’s if as she felt could not risk the rebellion. The horn blew for everyone to assemble. There Alexander addressed the 6 brave men and women who choose to do this. When he was done they exited the underground hideout under the cover of night. Deborah gave her son the most affectionate smile she could. She new at 15 he would not appreciate her hugging him in front of the other’s he already had to deal with the “ He’s so young bit “.

It’s been two months and Josh wasn’t aware that the other five hadn’t even come close to their destinations, they had to travel all the way to Berlin. Each supposedly coming from different entry points in hope that one would get through with their precious cargo. The Germans were the only fraction that had a broad cast radio system, All other fraction could only hear what they were reporting if a dollar bill any off them arrived they could verify it to the worldwide population. Josh arrived in Berlin scared but determined The broadcast said that an agent from the radio would be waiting at the point where the Berlin wall stood every day at 11am until noon to verify. The agent would be identifiable by the one red socks he would be wearing under the standard dress code. Josh sees him across the street and proceeded to head for him the street was crowded with people and soldiers going to and fro, when Josh thought he was almost there the unthinkable happened a man knocked him hard and his hat fell of revealing his long ponytail. Everyone stopped to steer the soldiers yelled “ you there stop your under arrest” Josh could only think of one thing get the dollar to his contact. He started running.

Across the street Hans sees the boy running thinking what this might mean, he starts reporting through a hidden radio in his coat. “I see a boy running he has a long ponytail, the police are chasing him he’s pulling something out of his pocket”. BANG BANG, gunshots silenced the air as people all over ducked. Josh sees the dollar a few inches in front of him his bloody hands reached for it and held it tight. Some where in the distance he hears the words “ They shot him, they just killed him”. As the sound of his heartbeat crawled towards the long dark call of death his hands relinquished its treasure. People were running now; around him, over him as the police proceeded to drag his body away. A little boy shoes appeared in front his empty eyes and the bloody dollar bill stuck to the underside of it. Deborah screamed and her knees buckled, as the agent reported her son’s body being dragged, no dollar bill to be seen.

Later that night Khan’s mother cleaning his shoe saw the bloody dollar bill under his shoe. The words “ In God we trust” shone serenely, not knowing its value and what it stood for; promptly threw it in the fireplace.
