I was dropped off at the W.C.K.D headquarters at around the age of four after the Flare epidemic started and my mother thought it would be the safest place for me. I don't know where she is now but I thank her everyday for what she did. I'm not sure what is out there now, but I am sure that I don't want to know.
As soon as I turned 14, they gave me a job. my first job was to lead new arrivals to where they needed to be. Now, at the age of 16, my job is to watch the hidden cameras on the mazes. The mazes were made to study how the brains of "immunes" work. Immunes are supposedly people who can not get infected my cranks/ people with the flare. Some of the kids in the mazes are NOT immune, this was done to study the differences between them. I was never told who is immune and who isn't. My only job is to write down everything important that happens.
This week I was assigned to a maze full of boys. One boy in particular, catches my eye. His blond hair and skinny frame made him hard to miss compared to the large boys who had gained muscle from fending for themselves. Although he looked quite wimpy, he had wit and seemed to be a sort of leader.
I check his information on the screen and see that his name is newt. He is also 16 and seemed to have been there for about three years. He seems to be planting some seeds we had sent through the box. The way his hands move through the dirt intrigues me, his eyes focused on placing the seeds perfectly. " I want to go in there and meet him.' I catch myself thinking out loud.
" You do?!" I hear my boss, Janson, ask surprised. I didn't really know if I really did but at the time, it seemed like a good idea.
