The facility had planned a large gathering.

A enourmous crowd were seated in chairs, I sat at the far back. 

The authority deemed this a day of celebration, before our week long vacation.

They gave out rewards.

I didn't get one, yet they  it would be more inclusive. 

People cheered and laughed and got riled up. 

I was left in silence, I was left realizing that this was a constant repeat. 

It seemed like I was stuck in a loop. 

Abruptly, black brick walls were erected around me.

I stood up and felt them, pushed against them, screamed at them. 

"Why am I like this?" 

I sat back down in my seat, my head in my hands and my optics closed. 

I heard only one heartbeat.

The walls were gone, as my optics opened. 

I had let the malice of my silence infect me.
