When you turn 18 you're an offical "adult" and that's great, right? Not from where I come from. Once you turn 18, you die. Well, not everyone is killed. They draw only 25 names of boys and girls from my hometown who live. If you aren't picked then brace yourself to die. However, some have the option of joining the secret organization called the Remedy. Smart parents send their children there to train to defend themselves, like mine. I will admit it, at first I was totally against the fact of never seeing my parents again, but I have never been this brave and strong before until now. *********************** Katilynn Evans lives in a futuristic San Francisco re-named the Theory. A belief for past problems is over population. She and all the other 18 year olds in the Theory have to go to the government to receive a sign to determine whether of not they will be carrying on society or dying. Katilynn gets the least disirable choice and her parents send her away to a place to learn to defend herself. Katilynn has to remake herself into a new brave person, very different than the person she was before.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
