WHO AM I? THAT'S THE MAIN QUESTION ON PAIGE'S MIND!
FIND OUT MORE. READ THIS EXCERPT FROM THE FOREVER ONES
"Who are my parents? The
Iduna Corp call them mother donor and
father donor. I have holograms of them in my bedroom and a
mini-bio about them. Everyone in the compound has their own.
Every
morning when I wake up I lie in bed and study them – miniature little 3-D
figures made of light. Hilda, the woman
who donated my egg was a Swedish circus aerialist. She’s dressed in a sparkly body suit with
nude mesh tights, pink ballet shoes and her platinum hair is scraped into a
tight bun studded with silver jewels. I
watch her little routine – hands on hips, feet turned out in ballerina pose,
then arms raised up into the sky as she does a perfect flip, lands on her feet
and bows – a beaming smile directed to an absent audience.
Johnny, my donor father, was an American writer who obliged with the sperm. He has a kind of hunched stance – hands
shoved in the pocket of black leather jacket, three earrings in one ear,
dreadlocks sprouting in thick waves from his head and a very pouty mouth. His hologram doesn’t do anything much except
stand there looking cool and squinting at some long-lost videographer. He does say something though and I’ve
listened to it over and over again. In
laid back growl he says, “That time ticks
on is inescapable.” It sort of makes sense but it’s puzzling, especially
since time means nothing to me.
The
scientists at IDunaCorp incubated Hilda’s fertilized egg and engineered it with
Forever serum and bingo, I - Paige
was born – a perfect specimen of immortality with platinum hair, one blue eye
and a contortionist’s body (from Hilda),
honey coloured skin, one brown eye and a wild imagination (from Johnny). People say I’m
very exotic looking but I can’t see it myself.
They also say I’m a dreamer – always tuning out into crazy daydreams –
even in the middle of a conversation."
