Entry

It was finally eight o'clock in the evening. What a dreadful day this has been with my taunting thoughts of fear. I am nothing but terrified as I twist the door handle. I step in.

Earlier in the day, I had met with my doppelgängers to exchange life stories down to the last detail, albeit your first pet's favourite food or your cousin's aunt's name. My doppelgängers, or DPs, for short are Alex and Sarah. They seem way too comfortable with this. I guess everyone is; except me. The idea of taking over one's life simply for the purpose of manipulation, as the government calls it, "Expansion of cerebral observational skills" makes me sick to my stomach. I despise the acts I will have to perform for this week. Acts of deception.

The theory behind the "Expansion of cerebral observational skills" program is that if the children of Rasu are able to detect acts of manipulation, the future generation will be a harder target for other empires to destroy. The progressing future of Rasu. Smart right? I'd agree, but, as usual, there's a catch, a least that's how I think of it. Us Level Nine students are expected to go to a secluded town in Rasu called Truan, and complete the program, successfully. On the first day, we meet with two people, our DPs. We are instructed to spend the day transferring information from every aspect of our lives until our DPs know us better than we know ourselves. Then, throughout the seven days, we must keep the three lives constantly active, switching characters whenever we please, within the guidelines of course (you must be the same person for a minimum of one hour to a maximum of six hours). The week is full of team building exercises and by the end, everyone is individually tested as to whom they believe is truly the person. A passing score is a 450 out of the full 500 people. Keep in mind, everyone is trying to stay in character whilst trying to solve this riddle of 500. Piece of cake, right?
