Stripped of our rights? Check.
Shoved into reeducation camps? Double check.
My partners in crime—Thaddeus and Huck —attend the mandated university-level education at F.E.A.R. Academy with me. It’s only our second week of classes, but when the humans announce fresh ‘shipments’ of supernaturals, I know something is wrong.
