Colonist Achilles Jinn had never laughed, cried, experienced anger or compassion in his entire life. The occasion had not really arisen in his isolated, sterile environment and attempting anything spontaneous would undoubtedly have resulted in mother's wrath. So why couldn't he stop thinking about Outdoors? It had already caused him enough discomfort for one lifetime, but he just couldn't get his mind off it. What exactly was it that lurked just beyond the seals of his dwelling?

Reyner Soloman, on the other hand, lived in a very different world, where even the mention of the 'O' word could get a citizen more misery than they deserved. The protective bubble of New London housed a cruel, vindictive and chaotic society that had beaten and abused him for virtually all his life.
Still, better the devil you know.
Was this worm about to turn? It was confirmed that he was a worm by his spiteful, violent supervisor, but his chance connection with Achilles Jinn might just make everyone think again.

This is a true story, it just hasn't happened yet.
