Dreamer Number 9

By Caitlyn E. Mitchell

...but I woke before I could see anything beyond a pale insinuation of silver.

No one had expected the Collapse to occur the way it did. The scientists postulated that going Underground would provide enough of a shield to save the species. Some people believed them. Many people didn't and stayed where they were.

Our workaholic society first came up with the idea of the Link when the 110-hour work week finally maxed out. With a vastly reduced population, the necessity for efficiency became something more than preference and a matter of profit margins-it became a critical necessity for survival. Anyone rich and brilliant enough can lease a contract with a Sleeper. A short but complicated neurological surgery later, and the Waker, as they're called, can experience maximum, 24/7 efficiency.

And the Sleepers...they dream their lives away.
