Hybrid Nation

Who is this girl?

I really don’t know about this. I agreed to meet this girl in the cafe, and it seems to have got me into a whole mess.

Before I met her my life was okay. Well, it wasn’t really — but at least I managed to get by. I didn’t have to think too much about emotions. I could forget about my parents, I could forget about feeling loved.

Survival was all that mattered. When you’re on the streets that is all you think about, always looking over your shoulder to see if the Gene Police are after you.

Kestrella is her name. She does things to my feelings. She wants me to help her. It’s not that I don’t want to help her, it’s that I don’t know where it would take me. Like I say, change is not my friend. Change has done me no favours so far in my life.

There is a block of ice in my heart, and I need to take care of it.

And while we’re at it, here’s a drawing of a hybrid I made. He looks older than he is. I think he must be one of the first to catch Creep. Poor guy — no hope. I know how he feels.
