deaf family father janitor mother poor rich technology touchscreens

Ever since the invention of Glass, a flexible and interactive touchscreen surface that now covers most of the world, Blip has led a comfortable life. It was his father who invented it. But Blip's unthinking happiness is interrupted when he meets a girl for whom the Glass has been anything but a blessing. 

Serafina is the daughter of a struggling janitor, and she has been deaf from birth. Every cent her family makes must be saved up for a hopefully better future. She has never let herself have an opinion about those who are rich and above her--until she meets a boy to whom Glass means the world. 

*An August 2012 Camp NaNoWriMo novel
and a November 2012 NaNoWriMo novel*

Note: Because this is a product of two NaNoWriMos, there are several flaws in this story. I am aware of them. Also because of this, it never quite reached the place in the plot that I wanted it to go. Perhaps someday I will continue it. Perhaps not.All Rights Reserved

Dedication goes to my fans! Prologue AND Epilogue dedication goes to whoever can guess which video games the siblings names come from. There isn't a ded for it yet, so good luck! AND THE DIALOGUE MOSTLY MATCHES THE SCRIPT FROM THE GAME!!! Also all the rights go to these companies: Nintendo, Sony, Square Enix, Disney, EA, Sierra, Eurocom, Hasbro, Microprose, and Krome Studios.
