The Many Writings of K. A. Jones

Kimberley knew there was something wrong when no-one answered the phone. Without stopping to think about what the repercussions might be, she walked home. It had been four days since both her parents had been given the new contraceptive injection and she couldn’t help worrying. The world government had said it was safe, that it had been through thorough and rigorous testing, but no one really believed them. Not after what they’d done before. As they had lied then it would be easy enough for them to lie again, which was why her parents had hidden her away in an unused nuclear bunker before the injections. That had cost them money as they’d been fined but they wanted her to be safe. They needed her to be safe too because she had two younger brothers who would have to be looked after if something happened to their parents.
