Evergreen

Christopher, Eliza, Francis, Gracelle, Hassan, Oliver, and I had all met that morning in a deteriorating abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Paris, France. There, we were informed of the valuable information implanted into our brains at birth by a mysterious, dismembered secret organization called NanoTech.

Remember The snow had fallen, December had come. The door to the basement had been flung open, and box after multicolored box was lugged up the stairs as the basement was expunged of every last piece of holiday decorations. Soon the fake evergreen was up, its green plastic eves slung with twinkling white lights, glistening red ornaments, and a patchwork of other mismatching baubles and family trinkets. The Christmas season was here. However, this Christmas was to be a Christmas…
