My name is Samantha Talbot, great, great granddaughter to George Talbot. I should not exist. I am illegal. Then again my great aunt Jen Talbot shouldn’t have either. Although I am like the Shadow Children I am not one. For one, I am sure there isn’t anyone else like me. And, I am even more illegal. Charges for harboring a Shadow Child were much smaller than having and harboring a child at all now a days. For this I am not a Shadow Child but a Ghost Child as I have taken to calling myself.
My parents are quietly rebellious. They have broken every rule the Government made. 12 years ago my mother gave birth to me. 2 years ago they traveled not only out of the continent but all the way on the other side of the world, leaving me home alone. And since last year they buy junk food from which they had people smuggled into the continent.
“Government Police, open up.” a deep voice boomed from the front step. Without order I threw open the closet door and launched myself inside. As my father’s footsteps passed the closet I had already tunneled to the very back. Once my hands found the wall I pushed up as hard as I could. Soon the secret door was open and I crawled in and threw a blanket over my head for good measure.
“Hello sir we have a warrant to search the house for illegal substances.” said the voice.
That's me, I thought.
