The people are separated by class and most importantly, they can NEVER leave! Read an excerpt below: The Voyage to Hatari “Kick the corner of the wall at the end of the hall and push from the top.” A soft voice answers from the other side of the wall. Zoe and Zora look around before heading to the end of the wall. The sisters do as instructed, revealing a hidden door within the entire frame of the wall. The ladies carefully walk through the revolving door and enter a well-lit room with grey walls, a table at the center of the room and a couple of chairs. The space is reminiscent of an interrogation room. The ladies nearly jump out of their skin as the door slams behind them seamlessly. “Hey! Over here!” A mysterious voice shouts. The sound of tapping draws the sister’s attention to a metal vent on the wall, near the floor on the right side of the room. “Here, use this and unscrew the vent.” A young woman passes a sharp coin to the ladies. “If you help them, they will kill you!” A loud voice fills the room and the ladies notice a speaker port on the ceiling, in the corner of the room. “No! If we don’t stop them they will kill us all!” The voice behind the vent shouts. “It’s a trap! We should have never gotten on this ship! There is no utopia waiting to save us from the hell hole we were living in. There is no place on earth that can provide us with endless peace and Euphoria that we have been promised. It just doesn’t exist. We were all conned into leaving one catastrophic existence just to enter an oppressive dictatorship. One way on, one way off. Once we are there, we stay for good. May the Lord help us if we don’t help ourselves.” The mysterious voice is pulled from the vent. Screams can be heard drifting further away from the cold room. Suddenly, a green colored mist fills the room. Before Zoe and Zora have a chance to plan their next move, they fall to their knees and quickly hit the floor. So much drama and they haven't even made it to the island! Grab your copy and find out how the story unfolds and if the sisters lived to tell their stories.
