The silo is full of secrets. Deadly secrets. Growing up in this world is hard enough for a regular kid, but so much more so when you're an orphan with no friends. This is Bryson's reality before he is chosen by the head of IT to receive a rare opportunity to Shadow for the mysterious position of "IT courier." Wary of what may be expected of him but facing an uncertain future, he accepts the job for a chance to change his situation for the better. As he grows into a young man, Bryson discovers dark truths about the origin and maintenance of the silo. Blasphemous things that no one knows, suspects, or would dare say out loud for fear of being sent out to clean. Or worse. This knowledge comes at a price. When the time comes, will Bryson be willing to pay? ****** This 23k word Silo Saga novella is set in the world of Hugh Howey's WOOL and has been published with his permission.
