The beginning
Everything was fine when the world went digital. No problems, no world domination. Life became easy. Jem saw the world soften around her people never outside the phones or video filming. Trying to be the next big thing. Jem was quilty of it too flaunting in front of the camera. Thinking games would fix everything money could save her from everything. Her chance no everyone chance came in the size and price of your life info and all your private thoughts everything about you is sold. At first it was easy like just a name on paper. You giving you away not hurting no one or nothing. Your life your choice right. Jem scoffed looking in the mirror. Her deep brown eyes like sweet pools in the sun. Her smile gentle. Yeah Jem was smart so she thought. The deal was even too good for her to pass up. Ten billion dollars for your everything now. Will be used at a later date. Jem sweated. Looking at the glow under her skin that popped up. All you had to do was live the only rule. Seems like an easy rule. They don't chase you down hassle you like movies portray. This was Eden all you had to do was plug into the grid a high powered station that controlled the charge places where you get "life" every time you charge up years are added on your life. Or Taken away on how you lived. That day. Jem always have her extra years to her neighbor's kid she didn't have family or anyone else to give it to. Her neighbor didn't even know to Jem's knowledge. Her neighbor was a hard working nurse single mother. Jem didn't know the neighbors back stories she stuck to herself after she had left him.
