Eccentric
"Baby you my eh'ething, you all I ehr wanted. We can do it real big, bigger than you ehr done it." The rapper's raspy voice twanged out of the radio. We were about halfway there at this point. The busy highway was crawling with cars. Like shiny metal bugs, trying to get where ever they were going as fast as possible. My mom sat next to me in the driver seat.

Ten young men and women congregated at an underground compound in Montana at the behest of an individual known only as the "Benefactor." For five years, they kept their vigil, never certain why they were brought together, or what catastrophe the Benefactor meant to prepare them for.
