Meet your potential dates ... |
When I wake up, the other side of
the bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim's
warmth but only finding the rough canvas cover of the
mattress. She must have had bad dreams and climbed in with
our mother. Of course, she did. This is the day of the
reaping. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
Screams. Screams. Everywhere.
Everyone is scared. But I don’t know who “everyone” is.
Their voices sound young, so I guess they’re
kids, like me. I don’t hear any older voices. So either the
grownups aren’t scared, or there aren’t any grownups with us
anymore. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
When we got the letter in the post,
my mother was ecstatic. She had already decided that all our
problems were solved, gone forever. The big hitch in her
brilliant plan was me. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
Our teacher, Professor Adam,
doesn’t know we’re just going through the motions. He
doesn’t understand that nothing he’s saying really matters
anymore. This classroom, and everything that happens inside
it, once seemed big and important. Now it all seems silly
and insignificant. I try to pay attention, because we’re
supposed to, but my mind can’t focus on the present. It’s
too busy thinking about the future. A future where every
life in this room is in jeopardy. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
My sweating palms slipped against
the handles of my bike as I cycled at a pace I hoped would
not look suspicious. I tried to fix my eyes ahead on the
perfectly even road and not keep glancing over my shoulder
at the makeshift wooden trailer I was pulling behind me. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |

I want to scream. I want to fling
myself down and beat my hands against the ground. This isn’t how things were supposed to be. This isn’t how this story was supposed to end. It feels like a lifetime ago that my family and I embarked on our simulated mission. I wish I'd known what would happen next. I wish I could go back in time and grab my family and run far away ... all the way to the moon. But, of course, that's impossible. And now it's too late to run.

Looking out my bedroom window, I'm faced with yet another dull English summer day. The heavy clouds made it look way too dark for July, but not even that was going to faze me. Tonight I was going to celebrate the end of the school year at a gig by a school band, and I was determined to have some fun. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
I remain silent, nearly motionless, with each deliberate shallow breath. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
My eyes are wide open, but I see nothing but darkness. My heart races and my breaths come fast as I try to understand what just happened. But I am trying to make sense of something incomprehensible. All I know is that this is no accident. Someone has trapped me here. They have locked me in a place where no one can hear me scream. It will be a miracle if I make it out of here alive. I am now at the mercy of a serial killer. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |

IT WAS ALMOST December, and Jonas
was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas
thought. Frightened meant that deep, sickening feeling of
something terrible about to happen. Frightened was the way
he had felt a year ago when an unidentified aircraft had
overflown the community twice. He had seen it both times.
Squinting toward the sky, he had seen the sleek jet, almost
a blur at its high speed, go past, and a second later heard
the blast of sound that followed. Then one more time, a
moment later, from the opposite direction, the same plane. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
My high heels dance across the
sticky hardwood floor of the narrow, unlit hallway. The
smell of vomit mixed with beer hangs in the air. By sheer
luck, I dodge a puddle of something—I’m not sure what. My
vision is so blurred that it’s hard to appreciate much of
anything. I’m pulled through a doorway that I almost walk
past. "This is it," Barry says. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |

Fourteen-year-old Connor Hansen raced
at full speed through the shiny, sterile emergency room
hallways of Westley Hospital. He was excited ... and terrified.
He was about to do what he had been training for almost his
entire life. But if he failed, someone would die. Paramedics
rushed toward him, pushing a bright-yellow gurney that
carried a bloodied, lifeless man whose heart had stopped
beating. It was Connor's job to get the man's heart started
again. Connor was a doctor. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |
Today was Morgan’s birthday. Three
years has passed, but in Wendy’s mind, her daughter was
still eighteen, the age she’d been when she’d had an

When the White Noise went off, we
were in the garden, pulling weeds. I always reacted badly to
it. It didn’t matter if I was outside, eating in the Mess
Hall, or locked in my cabin. When it came, the shrieking
tones blew up like a pipe bomb between my ears. REVEAL MY DATE FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED |

It's six fifty-three in the morning on my sixteenth birthday. I stand outside the battered wooden gate to a compound just off a desolate dirt road. On either side of the gate are high concrete walls. It's impossible to see what's on the other side. I hope this is the right place. And then I hear a low, slow roar. Then another one. And then another one. I smile. The lions are waking up.
