Final

Digit knows she is in trouble. Not because of anything she did. But because of what her parents did. Now she knows why she has been kept in hiding for fourteen years. She knows why she isn’t aloud out of the house and has never seen another child. Digit can tell her parents are sick of covering. But she’s afraid of what will happen if her parents give up. Giving up isn’t an option. Not unless she wants to end up dead. Digit wishes her parents had listened to the rule. She wishes they had just listened to the government. But most of all she wishes the government hadn’t made the rule. The rule that was cruelly made fourteen years ago. The rule that said you couldn’t have children anymore-the world was just too full. The rule that everyone else seemed okay to follow. The rule Digit’s parents broke.
