The Merge

Life for Kaitlyn O'Brien had always felt simple, though stiflingly controlled. She sensed there was more waiting for her beyond the rigid schedule she had been forced to follow, but everything changed the moment her schooling was abruptly rearranged. Homeschooling wasn't the freedom she imagined, it tightened the walls around her even more, leaving her trapped, hopeless, and with no real choice in the matter of socialism.

At home, her parents' affection for her faded with each passing day, replaced by a coldness she just couldn't explain. And the gated community's strict no-fraternizing rule only made the place feel more like a prison than a neighborhood. But beneath the surface of those pristine grounds lies a truth more unsettling than she could ever imagine. Kaitlyn O'Brien's world is about to completely shift, and not necessarily for the better. Something is waiting for her; watching, shaping, pulling her towards a reality she never even asked for.
