Adria Emanuella has a plan, one that will most likely kill her, but a plan nonetheless. Years ago her city Vilnius was closed off from the rest of America for an unknown reason, a reason that is quickly starting to cripple the cities food supply and population. As a drought starts to effect the city even more Adria sees that her plan for escape is finally preparing to go underway, and with the drought as a distraction, nobody would expect for her to leave then. After years of preparation and dreaming of the outside she's finally ready. It's finally the day she's going to leave. It's finally her sixteenth birthday. She vows her life to finding out what is behind the gate for the benefit of the rest of the city. There must be a reason for the isolation - safe or dangerous, good or bad, dead or alive - she intends to find out. Mystery / Thriller #178 copyright © 2014 odairsthecake
