Excerpt
Holding a lime green sign that said “UNCLEARED,” Mr. Isidro Garcia led his flock into the bowels of the mysterious STC. Mr. Garcia wore a gray pullover sweater over his apple-shaped physique. His curly charcoal hair and clothes blended into the patchwork of the gray pieces of carpet inside.
Sam’s brown eyes flitted about the windowless halls with its entrances to secret modules barred by cipher locks. “I feel like a leper … like when they yell unclean wherever you go.”
Tan looked incredulous. “You were a leper?”
“Not me.” Sam felt flustered. “That was done to lepers in the Bible.”
Tan returned Sam a blank look. Then John explained with a chuckle, “Not everyone here knows the Bible.”
Sam puckered her lips. She realized she was not in the old America anymore.
