Prologue

In the concourse of an intimidating building that reached high into the sky, a large group of protesters began to rage out of control.

“I thought it was a good idea,” Joshua lamented, “that I could show others the virtues of altruism and change the world, but I’m just a kid.”

A protester used the butt of her placard to smash an illuminated sign which read THE NOWELL CORPORATION.
