THE PUERITE REVOLUTION
Aramis Zaumella’s death was not fortunate enough to have an obituary written to recap his life. His legend lives in the rumors, tales, and speculations of the Pueratian people. Zaumella has been and always will be the true martyr for our kind…whether he ever existed or not. The legend goes that this ten year old boy was discovered at the Graverton elementary school in the town of Acraum, Indiana. He displayed the metaphysical ability to move things with his mind. The United States government was notified and “aggressively adopted” him in 1936. His parents disappeared shortly after Aramis was taken from them. The Graverton elementary school was shut down 6 months after Aramis disappeared from its student body. The town of Acraum became non-existent 18 months later and little Aramis was studied for the next 3 years. The average human (regular citizen) uses only 10% of their brain. Apparently, the initial neurological study that was done on young Aramis revealed that he was using more than twice that. Some rumors say that their studies revealed Aramis to hold the ability to perform three metaphysical functions with his mind. Two of these three functions were proven but Aramis died during the early tests of the third ability. All plans shifted into cover-up mode and recorded history rendered that Aramis Zaumella and all three distinct abilities of the Pueratian mind had never existed. It wasn’t until 1945 that the United States government recognized that a scattered section of the world’s population possessed the ability to use 25% or more of the human brain. More and more people started popping up using their brains for the first ability—moving and/ or pressuring physical objects with their minds. This is supposedly the easiest and most accessible ability for our kind. It was also the only ability that the general population of Puerites exercises and the government has recognized. Shortly after it surfaced the Government renewed its public denial that Aramis Zaumella or their rumored research that uncovered two additional abilities ever existed. Doctor Alvin Gerrard accidentally coined the term “Puerite” in 1949. He was giving a speech at Loyola University concerning his studies on our people. In this historic speech he stated that “The progressive use of the human brain is natural and pure occurrence. If we are going to consider the citizens of this country who have advanced use of their minds to be their own race, then maybe we should refer to them as Pure-ites.” Dr. Gerrard intended this to be a sarcastic remark to anger groups of people who cried out for those who used more than 10% of their brains to be considered a separate race, but both sides of the argument accepted the term. Those against Puerites used it mockingly while Puerites themselves took claim to it under the belief that Dr. Gerrard meant for his statement to be taken literally. Most people openly accepted the Pueratian phenomena. But as always happens with the human condition, people began to fear what they didn’t understand. Hate crimes against Puerites steadily increased over the years and in 1956 the town of North Hetnam was declared a safe-haven for Puerites. It was set up as a town where you could move things with your mind and have no fear of persecution or accountability for your actions. Some took it as a form of segregation; others took it as a blessing. Most Puerite families packed up and moved to North Hetnam. All you had to do was register yourself as a Puerite at the North Hetnam Council Chamber and have enough money to afford a home in the area. The federal government created new laws to prosecute Puerites who didn’t migrate for any and all use of their ability. A special prison was built to contain Puerites and operated near the outskirts of McHenry, Illinois. Basically, the choices you had were to either live out in the open in the “prison” town of North Hetnam or hide out and live like a Reg Ciz (regular citizen) wherever else you were living. The mayor of North Hetnam at the time, Daniel Eddings, instead of changing the law to allow a Pueratian mayor, created a spot on the North Hetnam Council that was to be strictly reserved for a Puerite. This enraged the town’s Pueratian population. Mayor Eddings was forced to switch up his game plan and he created a position that was slightly higher than a councilman. The position would report directly to the mayor. The Puerite in this seat would have a larger weight for their vote. He called the position the Secretary of Pueratian Concerns but then made the brilliant political move to nickname the position the Ar Zau—an obvious nod to the legend of our popular rebellious Pueratian martyr Aramis Zaumella. It was like calling the position of the president “the Lincoln” or calling the Pope “New Jesus.” The mayor would nominate the candidates--as many as he deemed deserving. Only registered Puerites would be allowed to vote and the North Hetnam Council would ratify for final approval. The Pueratian people would finally have their own spokesperson. And with the title Ar Zau instead of the plain “Pueratian Relations Secretary” they would be more than just a political figure, the Puerites would have their very own Dali Lama. The Ar Zau turned out to be a Pueratian Pope, King and President all rolled into one. The Pueratian people were overjoyed and immediately fell in love with the idea. They completely embraced the proposal of this new political position of Ar Zau. But that was back then..... ---------- BOOK III: The Salvation of North Hetnam
