The red sky was filtering through the clouds on this rare afternoon. The actual sun being visible was a nice change to the normally bleak orange clouds that were always above the supercity, but unfortunately, that made it even hotter than the temperate 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
201.347.092 scrambled his way through the crowded street, pushing his way through the inescapable mass of human flesh that was slowly inching towards the central tower in time for lunch. Sweat was pouring down his face and it was getting harder to breathe as he scratched and clawed his way through the traffic, trying his hardest to find any way out. He knew what would happen to him if he was caught.
A shrill, piercing siren sounded not too far behind him. The N-Force drone was closing in quick. 201.347.092 screamed until his throat was raw, begging people to make way for his life, but no one ever moved. In his frenzy he tripped on someone or something and slowly sunk unnoticeably into the crowd. The river of humans shuffled on, not noticing the boy, even in his absence.
After an hour or two, the streets were cleared and all people were safe and feeding in the central tower. 201.347.092's lifeless corpse was lying limp in the street with his limbs completely broken and askew and his face unrecognizably trampled and bruised by the massive hordes of flesh. The N-Force drone hovered over to the dismembered man and blared out a message.
"Human unit 201.347.092. You have been arrested. Charge: physical contact with and intent to impregnate a human female. You are sentenced to death."
The clouds swallowed the sliver of sky and the supercity was dark once again.
