Chapter One
“HELP” I gasp, I can barely breathe. I need more time, everything else can do what it wants but I need time. The waves just pound on me, one, two, three, four. I dive down and hold my breathe. I slowly pull myself back up. I gasp again, “HELP SOMEBOD-” I start choking on the sea water and look around, arms flailing. I know the evaluators are looking straight at me through a camera. I know that this is all a test of strength and bravery. But I cant do it. I know that somewhere in this very room, this room that was built for the Worth Test, evaluators are shaking their heads at me. I slowly let myself go deep into the water and close my eyes. Not many people can pass the test, I tell myself. I breathe out, bubbles floating sadly up to the surface. My lungs scream. I can hear voices, telling me to hold on, to keep fighting, but I can’t. The drug is slowly seeping its way into my helpless mind, making a fake image into reality. I hit a rock that surrounds me as part of the test, so that there is no way out. I'm sorry Hana. I scream as another tsunami tumbles above the surface making me sway. I watch it and choke until my lungs fill up with water and my eyes roll back.
Not everyone passes the test….
