Science Took My Family

Summary

For fifteen years, I lived in a foster home waiting for my parents to come back for me.

Martha, the director of the home, always told me that my mother and father were brilliant scientists. She said their research was too dangerous, the laboratories too hazardous for a child.

She promised that as soon as their massive project was finished, they would come take me home.

But fifteen years slipped by, and their project never seemed to end.

On the day I graduated middle school at the top of my state, Mayor Wilkins personally came to congratulate me.
