    About this ebook

    Today has been the strangest day of my life. I know, that sounds like the dramatic ramblings of a seventeen-year-old girl, but it's the absolute truth. Until today, I was an orphan, an uneducated ward of the government with no employment prospects on her horizon. But as of today, at least one of those is no longer true.

    I may never know the parents who abandoned me at the age of four. And by most people's standards, I will always be more streetwise than book-smart. But I have been offered a job. For the first time in my life, I am looking ahead to the next phase of my life, instead of focusing on a past I cannot change. Ironic, considering how little I know about my new employer and the position I've been offered…which is precisely nothing at all.

    2446-89: Stassi's diary is the prequel novella to The Syndicate (Timewaves Series #1).

      ––––––––

      TODAY HAS BEEN the strangest day of my life. I know, that sounds like the dramatic ramblings of a seventeen-year-old girl, but it’s the absolute truth. Years from now, when I look back at this diary entry, I won’t need these handwritten words to remind me of what happened today. It was a fateful turn of events, absolute happenstance, which started me down this path towards what, at this moment, is a very uncertain future. For thirteen years I have lived in a work camp approximately sixty miles outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, surrounded by other girls who, like me, are wards of the government. I have known little of the world outside the camp; just enough to be thankful that I was taken in by the state instead of being left to fend for myself. Life could have been a lot worse, particularly for a girl like me—an orphan with no education and no employment prospects on her horizon.

      As of today, at least one of those is no longer true.

      Yes, I am still an orphan. I may never know the parents who abandoned me at the age of four. And yes, by most people’s standards, I am uneducated, though I have done my best given the resources at my disposal. That might change though, if the promises made to me today are fulfilled; I’ve been told there is to be a lot of learning in my new future. That future is no longer quite as bleak as I once thought, because I have been offered a job.

      For the first time, I am looking ahead to the next phase of my life, instead of focusing on a past I cannot change. Ironic, considering how little I know about my new employer and the position I’ve been offered...which is precisely nothing at all.

      CALLING DAY: A time of reckoning for the fifteen work camp girls, including myself, who turned seventeen that year. It was our first chance to make a favorable impression on representatives from both local and global corporations. They used the camp as a labor pool for hiring cheap, unskilled workers for menial jobs. Which, of course, made my greatest hope—to be given any position where I could actually use my brain—the longest of all long-shots.

      Thus far, that lump of gray matter had gone to waste; working the camp’s agricultural fields wasn’t exactly mentally taxing. Maybe I just wanted to justify spending all of
