Intramural- The Shells Book 1

The first recorded Shells were born in 1902. They came into the world with the same expression that they left it with. They did not cry as a child, they did not laugh, or smile or giggle. They simply were. Over time, it was discovered that children everywhere were being born as shells. It sent civilization into an uproar, and they were rounded up and killed. It worked, for the most part. There were blood tests to make sure no child would be born a shell. Unfortunately, they still happened, and so the government integrated them into society. They were given the most dangerous and unwanted jobs, and seeing as none of them cried over it, no one cared. It's now 2195, and Feyra has just turned 22. She's been moved into a run down building, and been assigned as a bounty hunter in New York City. Everything's going fine, until something odd happens. She meets a guy, and she laughs. Of course, everybody knows that Shells do feel, they just can't show it. Feyra shouldn't be able to laugh. As shells everywhere start expressing feelings out of nowhere, how will Feyra survive as the government attempts to wipe out the developing subspecies?

When the Shell breaks, what will come out? What's going on inside those walls?
