Wyan hasn't exactly led a charmed life, but at least his biggest problems are his abusive mother and figuring out how to get the money to update his ID tag. In post Second Cold War America, your ID tag defines you and lets everyone know exactly who you are. Well, it does for most people. There are of course a few people who rejected the ID tags, but the faceless are probably harmless weirdos the way Wyan sees it. No need to get too worked up about seeing one outside his school one day. He has much more important things to worry about, like how he's going to survive in his mother's house until graduation and how to ask Davi out. The stories about the faceless had to be exaggerated, right? I may or may not write this story to completion. I'm more or less using it as an extended writing exercise to get myself back in shape for something more serious.

For most of our lives we lived at home with our odd families that the government stuck us into as babies. Usually five children were put into each household. We grew up together in a single house, raised and taught by a robot even though none of us were related. We lived at home with limitless entertainment in the form of advanced technologies. We had one day of the week for shopping, one day for going out and one day for labor. On labor days we were assigned a job and had to complete it in order to gain money for the week. Everyone got the same amount no matter the job. If you didn't show up for these jobs there were grave consequences. The Center often used torture as a method of punishment, or so we were told. No one close to me had ever actually been punished by The Center though. It was incredibly rare. Most of us lived our lives as good little pawns doing nothing more than eating, sleeping and entertaining ourselves. But one day, my regular boring life changed...
