Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was clever and brave, unafraid of danger, but she broke. Not her body, but her mind. And she couldn’t be put back together again…not the same, anyway.
From the shadows she was watched. They liked what they saw.
Of all the things we understand about ourselves, of all the energy we put into research of the human condition…the brain…the mind…is what we desperately want and need to master.
It is at the center of our existence. It controls us in every basic way. Breathing, eating, sleeping, loving…dreaming.
It betrays us at odd moments. Saves us when the pressure is on. It is a formidable foe at times, an ally the rest. We exercise, learn, and pray to make it fully ours. We know how to use our minds well.
But so do they.
And they want hers.
