We all make mistakes, right? It’s just part of life. Forgive and forget. Lucky you. In my world, it’s not that simple. If you make a mistake here, in Thornpointe, there is a punishment. One that makes sure that you never make a mistake again. They send you away. I heard that they send them to a place where you will surely die. No one knows where they are sent to except two people. The Keymaster and the Codemaster.

Some say that there are ancient files that say where they send them. Some say that they can read minds and send them to the most dreadful place that a Goner can think up. Others have a much simpler explanation and say that The Masters just send them wherever.

I am Rosaya. I don’t know why I have such an unusual name. Why I can’t just be Nicole or Leah, I can’t fathom. But I guess that I’ll just have to work with what I’ve got. Plus, that won’t be a problem for much longer. I’m a Goner.
