[ WP ] Every person in the world undergoes a `` goodness '' test . It 's designed to give a score from 1 to 200 , where 1 is pure evil , and 200 is an angel in human body . Then the world is divided into 200 zones , where people can live among their own kind .

*Good god, I am lonely. * 
 
 When the GE test was invented, people loved it. They looked forward to justifying themselves in front of their friends and family, to say, `` Look, mom, ar n't you proud of me?'' 
 
 *As I sit on my porch, the street in front of me is empty. I ca n't see a thing in any direction besides the scrubland of Section 1. So lonely here. * 
 
 The test was divided 200 ways, with those of pure good on the 200 side andpure evil on the 1 side. Most, obviously, fell in the middle somewhere. On the general side, man was found to be mostly good; this certainly made the philosophers shut up. 
 
 *Nobody for 50 miles in any direction. * 
 
 When I took the test I was rather excited. People had been placing bets with their friends over the test to see who knew each other best. I bet I would be smack dab in the middle. 
 
 *The wind is the only sound here. * 
 
 There were rumors of the government dividing the world to suit the different personalities together. Most assumed each category would be mostly the same in number, or that there would be ample people in each. 
 
 *Of the world, I am alone. * 
 
 200 sections for the world. Each of equal size, reserved for people of one particular grade in the GE test. 
 
 *Save me, god. * 
 
 Goodness resides in the soul, they found. The soul is unchanging, and concrete. The GE test was a permanent score, and your section was permanent too. 
 
 *Forever alone. * 
 
 How was I to know I would be the only man in the world with a score of one. 
 
 *The only one. *
