I get MOST of it.
Ok so here's whats going on. (To me at least).
There's a man who refuses to smile under the control of the dictatorship that's always smiling. He gets stuck by a knife. He continues to not give in. Then he gives in as the pain increases.
Then he sees his blood and he stops smiling and fights until he dies. Then the next part i don't get where they turn out to be robots with masks. Maybe meaning they have unhuman emotions and expect unhuman behavior IE smiling/happiness 24/7
The last part with the crystal ball. ---______--- I don't get. It shouldn't of been put in their as it doesn't fit. ROBOT having SEX?
Sounds like the author has robophilia to me :-) lol
anyways, good flash. Makes a good meaning. I wonder if I could actually put up a fight like that under an evil empire?. Anyways, 9/10 4/5
P.S. Interesting body forms :A
