1st Version

 ­­Incubator

It will be a distant future. Human race would be developed so well that they have everything prepared for them in advance. When a young baby born there will be already all information about his preferences, allergies, taste, future appearance and even air and temperature. Each person from birth will be already distributed to his own job according to the information about his inclinations and talents. Each day with menu, fashion, activities would be planned for life and they wouldn’t have to think about next day. Everyone have their place in life defined from birth. ­­­­­­­­
One day he will be doing his usual activity (sculpturing) he goes to the stock to find instruments, but wouldn’t be able to fins them on the place so he looks around (it’s just small room, almost empty, with empty shelves). And on the top of shelve he finds a box(there will be a title “throw away” on it) . He will put chair and reach it. Inside he founds a photo album of one family.(There will be photos of outside world with all trees, sea and mountains. And all family members would be on photo, that’s surprises our main character).
One day our main character would be passing through transit tunnel to do his planned by system work, when suddenly women passing by suddenly having hooked on a wire falls on our character and scratches him. There will be a drip of blood coming from scratch.
He will be thinking about his feelings after scratching- pain
He never felt it before. It makes him feel different, kind of alive.
After what he found out he decides to run away from this place. But he scares to do it alone. He doesn’t have friends, but he has a  girlfriend intended to him by system. He persuades her to run away by showing her photos and she agrees.
They planned their run away at night. By stealing security’s ID they opens doors, but at the end they almost get caught by guards, but luckily get out of there. They open last door together  and founds out that outside world would be destroyed.

Update

It will be a distant future. Human race would be developed so well that they have everything prepared for them in advance. When a young baby born there will be already all information about his preferences, allergies, taste, future appearance and even air and temperature. Each person from birth will be already distributed to his own job according to the information about his inclinations and talents. Each day with menu, fashion, activities would be planned for life and they wouldn’t have to think about next day. Everyone have their place in life defined from birth. ­­­­­­­­
Noel is average citizen of Arkopolys. His entire day is planned out. One day he wakes up usually at 6:00 a.m. , breakfast already prepared and served on the table. Does everything that was planned on his clocks and goes to his job. He works as  carpenter and works with wood. After long day he comes back home at the same time and dinner will be waiting for him here. Exactly at 9 p.m. his girlfriend comes in and they spend some time together cuddle, kiss and e.t.c. They fall a sleep together, but when he wakes up, he is alone. And everyday is like this.
One day he wakes up and found a hair  on the other side of bed. He takes it and keeps  in little box. Noel goes to his job and starts cutting wood and all the time he  gets distracted by hair in a box. He really misses his gf because they can see each other only specific time in a day and no longer. While watching at hair again he accidentally cuts his finger on cutting machine. Noel’s finger starts bleeding and he runs to the “emergency button”. When he presses it white box appears on the table like hologram.  First box will be full of albums, he throws them away, because this is not what he needs and presses button  again. And finally first-aid kit appears on the table.  He bandages his finger and takes a seat to rest and realizes first box that he threw off .  He approaches box and search inside. He founds a lot of old photos of past, there will be photos of trees and lakes, mountains and big families on vacation. He start to think where all this gone, why he can’t find here any lakes only fountains. Also don’t allowed to live the town. Noel founds all these suspicious.
He comes home there is Emma waiting with heated food. They do everything as usual and go to sleep. Few hours later Noel wakes up at night when Emma is leaving and grabs her hand
Noel holds her hand
-I want to show you something.
Noel shows her photos.
But she seems not impressed
Noel looks at her eyes for a few minutes, when he finally realizes that she is not interested at all.
He slowly puts her hands down.
- Hey Em, did you ever think that the way we are living is wrong?
- No, Everything is how it’s supposed to be and perfectly planned.
- Emma, but you never seen other life maybe this is not how it’s should be, maybe we should have more choice.
- Neither you, Noel, you can’t doubt the system.
- Don’t you want to take a chance to discover another life. Run away with me!
- No, are you crazy? Why we have to live place that is perfect for us.
- Okay, then I’m leaving without you!
 He stand up and wants to leave, but Emma holds him with strength that you don’t expect from fragile looking woman like her. And she says “ Stop, you can’t live !”
He repels her and runs away.
Noel runs away through hallways, opens few doors.
