Forcedlabor Stories

Ten women. Ten stations. One secret. Sheena thought she had finally been given an opportunity. After years of working hard in Norway, she suddenly finds herself inside a beautiful facility deep in the Norwegian wilderness-with a private room, an incredible salary, and responsibility for twenty Norwegian residents. It sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. Until she realizes the residents aren't there by choice. Every morning at exactly 7:00, they leave the facility to work on massive construction projects across Norway. Every evening, they return. No one tells Sheena what they are building. No one tells her why she was chosen. And no one wants her asking questions. Then Sheena discovers that she isn't the first woman to manage Station One. The woman before her disappeared. Officially, she went on vacation. But before she vanished, she left Sheena a warning: DON'T TRUST THE FIRST STORY THEY TELL YOU. As Sheena begins searching for the truth, she discovers that the ten stations are connected to something much bigger than she ever imagined. Something hidden beneath Norway. Something powerful enough to change the world. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes to trust anyone. Especially the quiet security officer named Ali. Because sometimes the person you fear first... is the person who will fight hardest to keep you alive. THE TEN A Story by Nashee
