Description

From the Author This is my first novel and it is a new breed of horror spliced from my experiences as a Deaf person, my imagination, my beliefs, and my love of reading. I hope you enjoy it. Read more From the Back Cover Michael Poole, a culturally isolated deaf seventeen year old ward of the Gate, only wants few things in his life: a girlfriend, a chance to play hockey, and good times. But the blockheads and the Whysees who watch over him have other things in store for him. Like not going outside the Gate. Not getting into trouble. And to remain still and calmly wait for the day of his own taking. The story takes place in an alternative world where one of the many industrial military complexes contains the handicapped wards taken from all over the country. The novel explores the Gate in the depth of Michael Poole's mind, in silly riddles, message on the bathroom wall, and crude drawing only to discover the final health policy for the wards of the Gate, never welcomed by the general population of a perfect world.
