Utopia, livro de Thomas Morus, é uma obra que em estilo irônico e narrado pelo personagem Rafael Hitlodeu, demonstra como seria aplicável uma sociedade sem propriedade privada e sem intolerância religiosa, na qual a razão é o critério para estabelecer condutas sociais e não o autoritarismo do Rei ou da Igreja. - Pearls Ongoing

#Wattys2016 u·to·pi·a yo͞oˈtōpēə/ noun an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. The word was first used in the book Utopia (1516) by Sir Thomas More. _____________________________________ dys·to·pi·a disˈtōpēə/ noun noun: dystopia; plural noun: dystopias an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. _____________________________________ Perfection is unachievable. We should know that, but of course nobody taught us. If they did then it's doubtful their message would have gotten through. Humans are a thick, stubborn race. Granted we learn from our mistakes--I'll give us that much--but not before we make them. The dictionary says that utopia is an 'imagined place or state of being'. That means it can't be obtained, which only makes humanity strive for it even more. The dictionary also says that dystopia is imaginary, but it is my belief that this is easier to gain than utopia. Repugnance is almost always more common than beauty. I cannot begin to express my disgust for mankind's attraction to outward beauty. The world itself is an epitome of the ideology doctrine; it appears alluring on the surface, but if you dig a little deeper you can see the angry, writhing mass of tar boiling just under a cheap facade. The world is as ugly as it is pretty, but people were made to look for only the appealing side of nature. Humans themselves are made up of that hazy gray area between light and dark. We are not pure, but we are not tainted. We are a dirty slate messily wiped clean by the shaking hands of God. --Chapter Zero: Utopia, Dystopia - Scars Upon My Soul Ongoing

Hazlynn Shiagila was never born a normal child. Throughout school, hanging out with her friend, and having family time, there was always something that she felt was off about her. As if she didn't quite fit in. As if she wasn't quite right. The world is about to end. Its governments are failing, its people are afraid, and the self-proclaimed Emperor Olc Thyrne has now begun to terrorise the streets. No one is safe. And they are searching for something. Something powerful. Something that could bring more power to the Emperor until there is no one left, but those pesky bugs beneath his feet. This powerful something is hidden so well inside one human body, that he has massacred thousands of bodies to find it. He has now found Hazlynn. And he thinks that he has finally found the One; she is brought into the depths of her home city, now called Outpost 23, where the Emperor's 'Blood Watch' begin their search. What they find is a girl that can undertake all of their torturings, but is not showing the signs they need. When Hazlynn escapes the Enclave, with the help of an old ally she did not know she had, eighteen months later, what she finds is ruin. She finds a world so changed that she doesn't know where she is. And she finds a battle she needs to fight in, to protect what is left of her home. Will Hazlynn be able to find allies in a place so different? Will she be able to battle through her scars, ones that may not be seen, but felt? Will she find a way through this new foreign world, and defeat the enemies she has no motivation to defeat, before it's too late? Or will her scars reopen and lead her, and the world as she knows it, to its knees? - Pandora Ongoing
