Callum

18

It's the weekend and you and your friends decide to go for a shopping trip in the small centre of your town. You go to all the different shops, looking around when suddenly you notice an antique shop at the corner of the street. It's weird because you swear it hasn't been there till today but it looks weirdly run down. Anyway, you enter, intrigued. Your friends wait outside. As you look around, you come across a weird-looking old mask. You touch it lightly and BAM. You get transported to another world. A world in which ordinary people wear masks to hide their emotions. Showing emotions of any kind is a crime. Only the guards, called 'stone-faces' by everyone, don't wear masks as they've been trained not to show emotion since childhood. You, unfamiliar with this world, are escaping a group of stone-faces, ending up in a quiet part of town. There, you run into Callum. Another stone-face. You make him curious. However, he's still a soldier. And one without emotions and empathy at that...
