[ WP ] The Forbidden Zone

Beyond the safety of our country's walls lies the Forbidden Zone. We were forbidden to go past. We had to stay inside the walls because of the threats. The foreign and alien threats. Our leader told us many tales of the outside world. He was the only one to travel outside and make it back alive. He told us of the wars and destruction in the Forbidden Zone. Everyone outside of our wonderful country is inflicted with a disease where people lose their humanity. They fight each other with no provocations. They rape the land and oceans. It was so bad in the Forbidden Zone that it began to affect the people inside our country. Many of them spoke out against our leader. Some are conspiring against him. I never understood their arguments; our leader did everything that was possible to keep us alive and surviving. 
 
 People are beginning to talk. They speak of metal monstrosities that fly like birds but drop explosive matter. They speak of underwater creatures that devour our ships with the crew still inside. At night we must turn off all the lights so that the foreign monsters do n't come in. 
 
 Our numbers are now decreasing because we are losing resources. Many of us are now starving. We beg our leader to try to tame and conquer these alien beasts, so that we may use the land for farming and feed ourselves. The heretics and false prophets inside our country must be banished into the Forbidden Zone. They terrorize the public with their speeches, striking fear into their hearts and making them lose hope. Our leader is not like that. Our leader always is optimistic. He is smart as well. He knows that an offensive strike would cause the aliens to attack us at once. 
 
 Even though we may suffer, I know that in the long run, we will prosper. The aliens will soon overuse their land and die off. Their blatant waste of resources will be the end of them. They will run out before we do, and when they do, I will gladly support our leader's choice to unleash our barrage of missiles. 
 
 I live in Pyongyang. I am a North Korean. I know we will survive. All hail glorious leader.
