Gutter Punk - Sam A. Fix
Gutter Punk
Tabitha is one of only a handful of people out as the mercury soars to 100 degrees. Sweat drips into her eyes and grunge music blasts in her ears as her she pushes herself to an ever-faster pace. Her mind strays from planning the current mission. To the past and stories handed down from grandmother, to mother, and finally to her; the last daughter in the Gutter Punk maternal line.
Stories of people who made decisions about who they loved, how they lived, and what they wanted. Stories of how mothers raised their children how they saw fit. Stories of when people had the right to choose, to be a part of society, or not to be a part of society. The Gutter Punks chose the latter, during those early days. This was before the government lost the battle of expansionism and federalism—this didn’t happen overnight.
No one noticed the small changes. They started in Arizona with its immigration laws; then, Washington and Colorado legalized Marijuana and changed the criminal code. When Massachusetts passed the right to marry, people celebrated. All these changes dealt with State’s rights to police the morals, health, safety, and education of their citizens. Hindsight is always perfect.
Grans whispered our oral history to me as bedtime stories, warnings of how people demanded smaller government and less federalism. I wonder if any of those people would recognize the US today.
Tabitha’s feet pound on concrete to the beat, a hot wind brushes past her, and childhood nightmares rush into her head. She was eight when the War between the Punks and the State regimes, first touched her life. Men dressed in commando gear came and her mother vanished like the sun at night. Tabitha has always been a mere reflection of her mother and grandmother because of their beliefs instilled in her as a child—cemented by the four years in a State Camp: She is Gutter Punk Luna.
Tabitha stopped, her breath came in ragged panting gasps as she scratched at her new IDent chip, implanted almost a week ago. The IDent chip is just one piece to a new her: Tabitha Moon, the new Media relations administrator for Channel 10, and recent immigrant to Oregon complete with Zone card and Visa.
Bile rises in her throat, she knows it’s not just from the strain, her next mission might be her most important.
OSBI
Elena can’t breathe; the case file in her hand seems deadlier than the heat, whose oppressive chokehold has gripped the city for the last thirty days. Looking out over the metropolis, her father’s words echo in her mind; you may have been born punk but don’t let them hold dominion over the rest of your life. Today she wonders, if she can ever escape the Punks legacy that has left her scrounging for a future.
Elena is lucky. The State and her father rescued her from the Punks. Since then she has fought for a place in proper society. At every opportunity, she attempted to
