Tower+of+Memory,+Monica

Nothing is special in this world. Even monsters. Humans are weapons and memories are the waste of time. Every boy who reaches the age of 15 has to go to the tower where all the memories are kept. The tower has millions of elevators prepared for the boys who came in. These elevators never go down. Inside the tower, everything is chosen for the boys and there is no freedom. Millions of buttons in the tower and all of them only take you up. As the first group of boys pressed the button, the elevators opened, the boys stepped inside and the elevator doors closed behind them.

Now it was my turn. When I stood in front of the elevator, I looked around and the boys next to me were all gone. I moved slowly towards the elevator and pressed the button. Soon the doors opened.

“Welcome,” the voice rang out from the speaker. “Congratulations. You have reached the age where you get to become a monster. As you know, monsters are known as honorable creatures in our society. You will fight for the world. You will fight for your people. You will fight for peace. This elevator will take you through different stages as you reach the goals for each stage. Your body will slowly start to grow bigger and wilder. We will gradually delete your memories from your brain because those memories could distract you from this process. Now close your eyes."

Time goes by quickly here. Every day when I wake up and open my eyes, I can feel the fresh power coming out of my body. This makes me feel that this is not my own body anymore. The elevator is controlling and accessing my whole body now.
 * Age of 15 **

Something in my head is completely gone right now. It was the thing that was important to me but I couldn’t figure it out what it was. But still my body is growing and growing like the monsters.
 * Age of 14 **

Every single day, the elevator tells me to close my eyes and think about something that makes me comfortable. However I strongly believe that one day, after the training finishes, there must be some freedom waiting for me outside of the tower.
 * Age of 13 **

Who am I? What am I doing right now? Why do I really have to live in this elevator? Thousands of questions rumbled in my head and formed a big question mark in my mind. I looked around my body and it was now fully covered by the black furs.
 * Age of 12 **

Something is going on inside my head. My brain is trying to pull out some of the memories from my mind but somehow they are resisting the force. They are trying not to be deleted and want to remain in my head. I blinked my eyes and millions of forgotten thoughts came out from head.
 * Age of 11 **

// Why do we have to become monsters? // // Why do elevators want my memories to be deleted? // // Why isn’t the tower giving us any freedom? // // Why do we just have to obey to the elevators? // // How can being a monster keep the peace in the world? // // Why isn’t the tower telling us the truth? // // Why? //

Then I realized that this was inhumane. Elevators were not supposed to do this to us. This was a completely wrong thing to do to human beings. I stood up and tried to open the doors to escape from the tower but the elevator didn’t allow me. I had my memories back but I could not escape. The lights went off and I was left alone in the black darkness.
