Snippet #1760111

Yuko had somehow fallen asleep on the couch. Suddenly she was awaken by the crash of thunder. Soon after her mobile phone rang. "Hello? Yuko Takekage speaking." She said. Then a male voice said: "Yes, this is the district superintendent Kamasawa. I am here to bring some grave news. It seems that our politicians have taken a step backwards in hybrid rights. They have brought a large bill through, concerning the rights of the hybrids..." "Get to the point!" Yuko said upset by the bad news. Then the superintendent continued: "Hybrids will now go to separate schools from humans. Civil servants and other officials of hybrid origin will be laid off unless they work at hybrid schools or hybrid hospitals. Hybrids will be assigned special seats in public transportation. And the hybrid foster program has been cancelled. Humans are no longer eligible to adopt orphaned hybrids and hybrid minors who have parents will have to live with their parents even if they are poor. Your identity as a hybrid is known, but since you were a good contributor to the government and are somewhat influential, the policy makers are willing to look the other way, if you change to a hybrid school. I would give you the principal position at the local high school for hybrids." "SO THEY ARE GOING TO SACRIFICE FIVE YEARS OF MY WORK JUST TO STAB ME IN THE BACK! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!" Yuko yelled over the phone. The superintendent tried to calm her: "Please Miss Takekage, calm down. They are willing to allow you into the educational board and offer you a position as the prefectural minister of education in the next elections." "Let me think about it." Yuko said and hung up.

"I will show them how influential I can be. They will see when they all die in mysterious ways." Yuko mumbled as she was putting her phone away. Ever since college, she worked towards hybrid rights and what happened? They fell back to where they were 40 years ago. She wouldn't let them get away with this, even if she had to kill every politician and every policeman who stood in her way. She sat there and started to cry. It was truly depressing that her life's work was ruined within a single political decision.
