About this ebook
Bill had taken a chance to be first in line to submit his request. He had slipped out of the Senior Resting Center early. If his request was granted, he would finally obtain his freedom. He wondered when They had taken over. It had been so gradual that no one realized until They were in control. After a while, one simply stopped caring. They were here. They ruled. They would never relinquish their authority. Swiping his IdentiCard, Bill entered his request and waited. The final answer proved shocking!
