Lizzie's Diary - Entry 18
3rd day of April in the year 2140 It’s been months since I last wrote in this. I finally have a moment to breathe. The halfway house had a rocky start. More kids were sent our way as the angels addressed more cases. A few of these abusive parents tried to rally together in protest, but the rest of the colony wasn’t having it. They lost custody of their children, and they’re lucky they weren’t kicked out of the colony.

Where am I? I couldn’t see further than a meter in front of me. The term darkness didn’t do it justice--I was surrounded on all sides by an expanse of black nothingness. It was empty, void of life or light, but oddly enough I didn’t feel afraid. I was just as empty, emotionless. Calm.

We've all been through that phase; those crucial developmental years when nothing holds meaning and our hormones drive our parents to the brink of shipping you off somewhere. I myself was a bit of a trouble child in middle and high school, but the latter institution was when things took a turn.

CARI Arion beamed at me. “You know me? I’m honored!” A muscular senior stood beside the pterippos, towering over our table. His eyes were an icy blue, piercing into mine from beneath straight white bangs. He reminded me of an anime character, or something straight out of a comic. The pin on his left lapel was a white lunar spiral, the same as Arion’s and Jett’s.

Lizzie's Diary - Entry 15
Thursday was when things started changing. It started when Gabby and Benji came to lunch without Koji. He had skipped school again, only this time he hadn’t said a word about it to either of them. He also wasn’t answering his phone, which was weird--we had all become attached to these foreign devices, so even after a couple days we knew that Koji taking longer than fifteen minutes to text back was not the norm. Tawni was working on another project, Kaine was expected home as soon as school let out since he stayed out Tuesday night without permission, and I had promised Marilyn I would cover her babysitting shift this week, so Gavin was going to go with the freshmen to visit Koji and make sure everything was okay.
