I was born more than a thousand years ago.Put into a cryogenic tube at age seventeen, forgotten during a holocaust that decimated the world, I’ve finally been awakened to a more serene and peaceful future.
But things at the hospital are new and strange. And it’s starting to scare me.
Everyone is young. Everyone is banded and tracked. And everyone is keeping secrets.
The cute geneticist Michael Bennett might be the only good thing in this crazy new world where “life is precious” but no one seems free to live it. The problem is, I don’t think he’s being totally honest with me, either.
When I’m told only I can save the human race from extinction, it’s clear my freeze didn’t avoid a dreadful fate. It only delayed the horror…

Excerpt from MIRROR X
“Welcome, Miss Dannacher,” said Dr. Little when I entered his office. “Thank you for agreeing to see me tonight.”
Did I have a choice? He motioned to one of the chairs on the other side of his desk, and I sat down, my nerves on fire. “So, what are we celebrating?” I asked as blasé as I could and looked over Dr. Little’s shoulder at his stone statue of Claus rather than making direct eye contact with him.
“Something special, something very, very special. Something that should make you very, very happy. Making you happy and keeping you that way are very important to me.” The fervor in his eyes made me cringe.
Yeah, right. Then let me go. “Really, you could have fooled me. Don’t forget that I spent three weeks in solitary confinement.”
“That was for your own good. We couldn’t have you trying to run away or consider hurting yourself again, now could we?” He smiled. “I can only hope it gave you time to think about how well you’ve been treated since your awakening. We gave you back your life—something that was impossible in your century—and in doing so, healed all of your injuries. We’ve provided you with food, clothing, a warm bed, and medical care.”
All of which were true, yet hard to appreciate considering why they brought me back to life in the first place. I didn’t get my old life back, but they did give me life.
“You can never give me what I really want.”
“That may be true, but we have given you something.”
