Broken Hourglass

By Kielen King

Galilee Walker is a technological needle in a haystack of hypocritical, posturing charlatans. Born and raised in the capital city of Alevva on the planet Corinth, Walker and her family lived as followers of The Hourglass; a technology-banning sect holding religious, political, and financial control of the entire planet. However, Galilee Walker had grown weary - weary of the sermons, the restrictions, the punishments, all of it. Having spent her time on Corinth learning everything she could about modern technology, frustrating her parents, and making connections in the Corinthian underworld, she was ready to strike. No longer would Galilee, or anyone, live under such self-righteous, hypocritical liars while denying the masses the wonders and benefits of modern technology. Walker fell in love with technology as a youngster and now as a 32-year-old woman in control of her own destiny, she would either expose the clergy for its misdeeds or make absolutely sure they lived up to their oath.
