Title: Chapter 1: Disorientation
This story reminds meof a short video I watched once "A man in the woods" a child in a school starts to say that there is a man in the woods in which proximity the kidsplay in the school. Starts to describe the man as a killer, and all the kids start to talk about it,and to say they watched the man too. Soon the parents know, and the principalstart being harassed. He know the kid is lying, but no one would believe that a "sweet innocent child"would lie. That the principal is neglecting to do something about the killer,and they get him fired and ruin his life. The principal then goes to the woods, deciding to play along with the lie forced upon him,and kills the lying child.
I dont think its a thing of omegas being abusive; its about when someone we perceive as a victim, a child, a woman, someone we see as innocent and unable to lie, acuses someone of abuse, what can you do? teenager girls have accused teachers of molestation, just for being grounded or their cellphones taken. It happends. Now, think on this universe. A beta, a small, helpless creature that had been abused as a race over the years. One calls on an alpha abuser, and no one ever thinksit can be lying or being confused. They are seen as victims for the omega. They instantly believe.
I picture a story with an alfa falsely acused that breaks and starts murdering betas, to take upon the label forced on them. It could happend, anytime, because the omegas cant just believe. They got to be sure. It happends with anyone, in any society.
Author's Response: You bring up some interesting points. Certainly, a conflict I'm trying to shed light on here is the one of Alphas and Betas, albeit from a different angle than has been shown before, and how their past involving Beta subjugation has made it easier for this situation to arise. The Omegas are indeed not being abusive, and do their best to give fair treatment to everyone, but in certain cases like this one, it's hard not to side with the Betas.
