5 Minute Freewrite Sunday Prompt : honey
After washing ourselves up, we all gather to proceed to the breakfast room. It's a big hall with bright white lights on the wall above us. Long tables with benches are placed in horizontal arrangements for all of us. We are seated according to our individual codes. Codes that were embedded into our neck spine the day we were shipped off to this space ship.
No Names ! Only Codes !
That's how we were all identified. What we were before when we were on Earth no longer existed. It was as if that entire life of ours were deleted from the system. But it never is. It never will. We were warned never to speak of the past; never to speak of the beautiful planet Earth which was home for all 5,365 people who now live on this space ship for the last 2,356 days.
We que up in obedience; facing the white wall ahead. It had bright yellow lights; like an alert signboard that you see on the side of the road. Calling out the word DANGER! But this wasn't the message that everyone saw.
TWO TOKENS = 1 RED APPLE
FOUR TOKENS = APPLE JUICE
SIX TOKENS = HONEY CEREAL BAR
That was the message imprinted on the wall. The messages kept on repeating over and over again. YES ! To eat, we need to pay with the tokens that we earned from our daily task in the space ship. The more we spend, the less we will have to survive. Of course, unless we have those bonuses. Bonuses that we earned from the extra exercise that we do daily.
There was another way to earn more tokens.
TRANSFER OF TOKENS
If we defeat another fellow space mate in battle, we would take over all their tokens and the loser would be deflated. He or She would be send off into deep space without any life support. Survival of the strongest, that's what they call it.

That's also why the number of people on this space ship have reduced from 7,721 to 5,365 people in over 2,356 days. One battle a day and one survivor per battle.

Many thanks to @mariannewest and @freewritehouse for bringing me along in this magnificent journey. Through them, I have found back my desires to write, be it fiction, freewrite, true or make-belief. I have evolved myself into more than just a reader. Unlike in the past, where I would stick my nose into a book and be amazed with the creations of others, now I'm able to share my own creations to the world.
So, come join us and let the feelings come out from your heart and the words will eventually form on its own. Before, you know it, your first Freewrite is complete.
