StoryFolk

What if you discovered you were a clone? That’s what befell Vata, Celi and Kit. How would you react? Shock? Anger? Depression? Would you feel soiled or betrayed? To make things worse, the three teenage girls were pursued by bandits, by the military, by the police, not to mention rogue stories… StoryFolk tells the tale of these three as they fight for their survival and that of their fellow clones. It’s a wonder they were still able to laugh and have fun from time to time.

The other girl’s sudden illness was also a cause for concern. As leader of the StoryFolk project, he was a busy man. Amongst other things he had to draw up the schedule for tomorrow’s experiments. The military were pressing him for results. He withdrew the earpiece, slid it into its case and pocketed the thing for later (…)
