mind control: hive: drones: uniforms:

She wakes up.
He does not remember how he stopped there.
Ella looks around.
All gray and silver everywhere.
A noise catches her ears.
No, not that place!

Now Ella knows where she is.
She is into the Hive.
Her legs want to run away.
But when she finally mustered the necessary courage.
Someone runs and screams.
That someone is surrounded.
That someone is enlightened.
That someone becomes quiet.
Then That someone starting looking into the void and walks ordeally to a line a few yards away.

Ella sees That one by one everyone comes in on one side and leaves the other side.
One by one with wearing the most varied clothes all staring empty come in from one side.
And one by one they leave the other side, all in blue uniforms.

An idea flashes in her mind.
A plan quickly forms.
She needs a camouflage.
She decides to get in line.
She embraces the opportunity and walks looking blank through the line.

Sweating cold she walks.
Slowly slow like everyone else in line.
She is not surrounded.
She is not enlightened.
She sane gets in line.

When it comes to the door, she enters.
Several booths. Individual dressing rooms with curtains.
In a void she enters.
Inside a gray uniform awaits to be used.
She changes her clothes and with only seconds of delay comes back to join the line for the exit.
Ready she is camouflaged.
She can re-breathe relieved.
Hopefully soon she can leave Hive.
And cut off this adventure someday.

At the exit, the line stopped.
Her fear and apprehension increased.
With nowhere to run or sting she courageously faced her destiny.
A steamer covered the place and even she did.
At the back of her neck, she felt an itch.
And everything becomes clear.
With her eyes still more open, she look the void.
She becomes quiet.
Fear along with anxiety evaporated.
In its place only serenity.

For now she knew her purpose.
She knew why she was there.
She knows she went through a selection.
With endless joy she received her mission.
Raise the boundaries of Hive.
And all she needed was
Do exactly what she are made for

Obey.
