Trigger warning: This book contains dark subjects such as violence, terrorism, trauma, depression, and self harm.
I wasn't even one year old when the terrorists attacked. None of the adults like to share about what happened. I can't even blame them, from what we could gather it was devastating. Millions died. Millions more were injured. Some people, they called themselves Star Glitchers, they had these glowing star-shaped objects in their chest. Whatever these people were, they made their mark. Those who didn't submit were killed quickly. That's what the history books say.
But I needed the truth. History books only go back so far, and the adults never elaborate on what happened. They say the terrorists are still out there, and that's why we live underground. It feels strange to me, that we wouldn't fight back. But looking at those who tried to fight back, it makes sense why the rest of us went into hiding. But the fact is there are still people suffering out on the surface, and they need to be saved.
But where to start? Misinformation is so easy to find these days, and it seems to be easier to ask around than search for the real information.
I guess no better time to start than now.
