This is an edition designed for posting on websites like this one, with scene breaks clearly marked in ways that will keep working even if a website like this changes its formatting.
The e-book release of this story has two editions in the file. One is what you've just read: the "Authorized Cut". This has some adjustments (mostly to swearing) to keep things to a T rating. The "Author's Edition" would generally qualify for an M rating.
The series hops content alerts comparably to the Underworld franchise of movies, so though this first story would be fine for the vast majority of folks even in the original edition, I have the dual editions for the sake of readers and situations that would rather not read cursing, etc., but who otherwise want to read the story.
If you enjoyed the story, you can buy the released e-book or the sequels on your preferred vendor.

Wondering where the title came from for She Who Knows Tomorrow?
It's not a direct reference, but it was inspired by James 4:14.
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (KJV)

Cara Lee is the name used for the dystopian works of Misti Wolanski. Technology, biology, propaganda, and the moral implications of all three have fascinated the author since she first noticed how people with power often abuse it. She now writes stories that explore the boundaries where helpful becomes hurtful, and vice versa, while her cat tries to sneak sips of her coffee.
