    About this ebook

    Jim Cork is an unhappy man living in a future where all hope and inspiration have been replaced with security and routine. The scanners watch your every move and detect the slightest aberration from past behavior that might indicate you're thinking of doing something...bad. When a stranger slips an odd key into Jim's pocket on a crowded subway, Jim must decide whether to continue living in a soulless world or risk his life to find something worth living for.

    Wayne Meyers

    Wayne discovered his love for writing at ten years old when he wrote a story about the flowers from his bed sheets coming to life. With a voracious appetite for science-fiction and fantasy, it was only natural he turned his pen toward these genres, creating bold new worlds filled with exciting, interesting characters doing incredible things. In addition to reading and writing science fiction and fantasy, Wayne enjoys spending time with his family, walking, helping aspiring authors, and volunteering in his community. His latest favorite show is “Lost in Space”, and if you play one of the Marvel Universe movies there’s a good chance he’ll stop what he’s doing to watch. A Brooklyn native, Wayne currently lives in Northeastern Pennsylvania with his family and cats, realizing his dreams one story at a time. He’d love to hear from you at WayneMeyers.com, where you can find his social media links and sign up for his mailing list. His next story is just around the corner!

      Part One

      I have a secret.

      Jim Cork paid no attention to the faceless sound, just one grunt among many on the crowded train. He made sure to maintain a placid face. The scanners were watching. He was Safe.
