Welcome to the city of Omelas! Imagine the most perfect city of pure happiness...
The people here are happy. They don't experience suffering or pain. There's no hierarchy, slavery, war...
It is the Annual Summer Festival where people of all ages socialize and gather to play and celebrate...
At the Green Field, competitors play with and ride their horses around in preparation for the traditional yearly horse race
📍Green Field
Look at these kids enjoy their horse ride!
Families enjoy the abundant outdoor activities in Omelas' beautiful spring weather, such as carriage rides!
The happy people of Omelas shop at the farmer's market stocked with plentiful fruit and vegetables
It's time to show you the secret we show all kids when they turn 13!
Follow me!
The group enters down a deep basement inside of one of the homes in Omelas.
Just a little bit further...
What is that whining noise?!
This is the child that everyone knows about?!
Let me out! I'll be good! I promise!
He's covered in his own feces! You can see its bones!
Without this child, everything you know and love would wither away.
The happiness in Omelas relies soley on the suffering of this young child.
I'll never be the same....
Some choose to understand they cannot help the child and continue on knowing the child exist....
While some people return and cry for days... filled with anger and disgust
I want to help that child...
Some never return home after seeing the child. They choose to continue walking...
Through the pearly gates of Omelas...
and into the unknown...
They leave the city of happiness to a place they don't even understand yet.
Would you walk away from Omelas?
