[ WP ] Everybody who turns 25 learns a reality shattering secret about the world . Nobody has ever leaked this secret to somebody under 25 . Today is your 25th birthday .

There I was, a new day with the sun glaring through my window. `` 25'' I thought. Hmph. I always thought my life would somehow be different then it is at this age. I remember being 16 and seeing those who were 25 and it did n't seem like they woke on on there 25th on a dingey old mattress surrounded by empty beer bottles. 
 
 You see, turning 25 was a big deal. In the new order, secrets that governed our existence had been revealed, but only once you became of age, 25, were you exposed to the knowledge. Usually people had big lavish parties for these things, everyone dressed up, the finest of Martian wines were served, all of your family and friends came out to celebrate. 
 
 Not me, not in my life. No lavish party, no family, no friends. I'll probably just lay around for a few more hours, then head down to my regions Union Square, get the seal stamped on my wrist and go into a 5x5 room with a small and seemly insignificant window, where some man in a beard will tell me whatever the apparent secret of existence is. I know all this because that's all I could get out of my older sister when she turned 25. I was only 13 at the time, and very curious. I had noticed my sister had changed, and I wanted to understand why. Unfortunately, the little twat would only get as far in the story as a bearded man and a window. 
 
 A week before your birthday, you are mailed a packet with all the information you need to know leading up to this moment, somewhat a little preparation course, as well as a book that outlines the history of our world discovering life on Mars. `` I'll get to this later'' I grumbled as I tossed the packet and book to the side without thinking twice. Now the morning of, I find myself wishing I did n't procrastinate so much, but oh well. The only preparation I found myself in was counting how many bottles of Orion Ale I could down before passing out.
