[ WP ] In this world , physical appearance depends entirely on personality . All babies are born identical . Beauty is achieved gradually through good thoughts and deeds , while the opposite is true for ugliness .

I watched as my peers faces began changing. Slightly at first but then more noticeably. I shuddered. We had always known that the merit of our action would manifest itself in the form of our physical appearance but it had never been known what ( or who ) determines whether an action is'good' or'evil' and for that matter who determines what is considered beautiful or ugly. We'd spend 31 weeks in the fallout shelter. 31 weeks since the wickedness of men had made the surface inhospitable and forced us underground. Food supplies ran short about 4 weeks ago. We'd had no contact with anyone else and were n't sure if anyone else had survived. 
 
 But as I watched wrinkles becoming smooth I began to realize two things. First, that we must be the last humans on earth and that good and evil is relative. I shuddered again as I watched an old lady wiping blood from her mouth, wrinkles and sun spots being wiped away with it. Eating your fellow man was no longer an evil deed. We'd devoured all who thought so.
