Imagine that everyone could read everyone else's mind. Every single thought, idea, and daydream would be available for everyone to see. Scary, right? That's why we have lockboxes. You can put thoughts in there, and nobody can see it except for you. Oh, and us. Most of the people in my generation have the ability to look in people's lockboxes. We don't do it for kicks, though. We work for the government, searching for large scale criminals. Sure, it's a dangerous job, but we're protected by the IBS, nobody dares hurt us. Most of the time. This is my entry for SciFriday, challenge number nineteen. You can see the challenge here: https://www.wattpad.com/151372538-scifi-competitions-challenge-19-it-all-started

You won't find too many liars in Neoden. That's thanks to Sifters like me. It's hard to hide secrets or subversive thoughts when any stranger could be listening in. The fear of discovery is what keeps a mind pure. The Great One taught this to the first Guardians. With transparency comes the freedom of a clear, sinless mind. The crystal, illuminated by our purifying flame. But that crystal has one flaw. Sifters can't read one another, so we can keep secrets. We can even tell lies. I'm hoping mine is a good one.
