My name is Embryli Madison. I’m in the senior year of high school and I live with my mother, who had me at sixteen and now works as a waitress at a run-down diner. But I don’t want to repeat her fate. I want to get out of this hole as soon as possible, get into a prestigious college—and I have every chance to do so. But I don’t have money to pay for my education. So I work as a computer game tester. Agreeing to another round of testing, I couldn’t even imagine that the new game would be so real and would almost drive me mad.
