Flatland Part 3: The History of Flatland

Flatland has always been ruled by the circles, as deemed by the laws of nature, as they are the smartest. But at one time there was a color war. I will not be writing very much about the color war, as it is a very long and complicated story but I will explain to you as much as I can.

People don't quite know exactly how the idea of painting your sides was brought about, but it is suspected that a square was once painting his house and accidentally spilled paint on himself and thought that it looked nice and started painting himself before going out in public. Nevertheless, it eventually developed and became a bigger and broader idea and eventually the different classes painted themselves different colors based off of what state you lived in.

In the end the circles were not pleased with this because it eradicated their importance and they managed to gain back their power by killing off a bunch of people and outlawing color identification.
