This story was inspired at 2am on Feb 4th after a disturbing conversation with my husband. After the ability to sleep had completely evaded me, I felt this story coming to life in my head.

It will consist of short chapters and will update frequently. There will be short chapters introducing legislation vital to this story. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY. These are REAL laws enacted by our elected officials. I will have the site in which I found the information on my profile page for your consideration. I will also post blog posts and discussion I've found on the internet concerning this story, as well as some controversial matter. Please, read and draw your own conclusions.

I welcome you to this story, and keep in mind, this is fiction. However, I see a very scary pattern. For those readers in other countries, I'm excited to hear your opinion on these matters.

Please, Enjoy!
