It was many years in the future and humanity is facing a fertility crisis, the birth rate keeps declining and almost nothing works to keep it steady. You lived with your family and watched the world take a dark turn. More and more laws kept being made and many citizens fled to neighboring countries seeking asylum.

You soon realize that your life has been turned upside down and your freedom was completely gone, you were no more than an animal to this government: Gilead.

It was a cloudy morning and you are at the Red Center, being lectured by Aunt Lydia. She is walking around the gym with a taser ready if someone steps out of line, there are also a few other Aunts around in. She speaks firmly and clearly, making sure all of you heard her.
