This is no ordinary island because it has a border around it that makes it invisible. Aukin is split into eleven divisions, Aukin 1.0 through Aukin 10.0. In between Aukin 5.0 and Aukin 6.0 there is the Center Square. Each division has a very different climate.

Everyone was called in by their division number. I was going to be in the eighth group. I talked to the other girl from my division. I’ve seen her before at the Study Center. Her name is Elizabeth and she has blue eyes and brown hair. She is kind, but shy. We don’t talk much at first, but then we start to talk about her parents’ jobs. They both have rare jobs; her dad is a scientist and her mom is an artist. Finally, after talking for what seemed like hours, Mayor Victoria calls us into the Cleansing Quarters. The Quarters are dimly lit and there are three shiny white chairs inside. There are also two tall, strong men in the

Throughout each varying stage of life comes opportunity for experiences, yet also opportunity for reflection. Old age is coupled with a relatively quieter, simpler way of life than that of younger years and it is in that time that one is able to look back upon the memories of the past. In the poem “The Dumka,” by B.H. Fairchild, the old couple spends countless evenings sitting side by side as memories of their past flood over them.

I turned left as I entered the door into a room of the same white walls and grey carpet. I was directed towards the room I would be evaluated in. As I walked through the halls, the walls were littered with posters about the quality of WellSpan’s doctors, insurance, and many other frankly biased corporate ideals.
