Control

a common theme

Control: The Edge

B. Government’s control over Ranga

“The government was opening camps all over the country where men and women were gathered and operated upon so they could no longer have children”
“He shook himself free when they tried to hold him down, butted with his head the man nearest to him, rolled over…he ran across the fields screaming…”
