I woke up to the sweet sound of my mom singing as she dusts the shelf.
"Lyndsey darling, come help me cook breakfast for the 3 of us," she shouted from down stairs.
"Yes mom," I replied trying not to fall sleep again. Everyone in my fraction (number 3) would be starting their day of labour work. Fractions from 1 to 5 aren't able to give their family all their needs. Mom and dad couldn't afford to send me and my brother (Lewis) to school so mom and dad thought us everything they knew. Dad would go early to the oil patch and come home very late at night, he would always eat from there. Mom sang at festivals while I played the piano and the violin. Lewis is only 10 and hasn't thought of a way to make money. I changed into my work clothes and go down.
"Is Lewis still sleeping?" I asked while I broke an egg on the pitch black pan.
"Yes, aren't you excited for the Escape Ceremony?" She said with a broad smile on her face.
"Mom how can you think they can definitely choose me on a team out of all of the threes here?" I asked looking like the Escape was the worst thing ever. The Escape was a game that would change your life completely. There is only 4 people on a team for each fraction up to ten. The Escape is a game of intelligence and risk,we have 3 days to escape 5 rooms. If your team escapes in the fastest time you would change to a ten and so on. You can go from luxury to poor or the other way around. At the Escape Ceremony they will be choosing the teams.
"Honey, at least there is a chance for us. Your 18 now we'll see the teams today night at the ceremony."
