Oryena Lowendowski: (A Short blonde womena with a cheerful demeanor.)
It started with the widespread panic of the shortage of women. Abram and Evan locked them selves in their workroom and didn’t come out for days on end. Quite annoying for me. I had to bring them food and force them to eat even when they wouldn’t include me in their conversations. I was angry.
Then the magistrate came and had weeks worth of talks with Abram. He let me sit in on these meetings but I was as flabbergasted as the magistrate was. Abram and Evan had invented a method for going back in time. They wanted to kidnap women moments from death, bring them to me, and then launch them into society when they felt better.
I was relived when the magistrate threatened jail time for such practices, but Evan was determined. I tried to keep him from his research, but it was no used. He was hell bent on seeing it through. When he brought Sophie home, I was in shock. Working at her hospital had taught me how to keep her from the brink of death. And I did. She seemed so small. Like a lost little girl
As she came to within the next two days, I found out about her addiction and I had to help her through it. The withdrawal was hard on her body and she was a mental wreak. I didn’t think she would make it. But she did and was all the more stronger for it. That is, until she learned exactly why she’d been pulled into the future. And how close she came to death.
She withdrew from us, preferring to wonder the house alone during the day and sleep at night. A habit we were out of. The sun was just too harsh for daytime living anymore. She learned how to work certain technologies that she’d never seen or heard of. She was wonderful in the kitchen and I was happy to see that she was gaining weight.
Then we found the note. Evan was upset and went after her. It was the longest week of my life. Waiting for my son to come home. Worrying if he was alright in the cold of a Twenty-first century winter. But he came back. Sophie was on the brink of death again. She’d taken too much and the Heroine was threatening to over take her. I did the best I could but she was still in a coma for a week. Evan was beyond hope.
When she came to, we had to deal with the withdrawal again. But Evan helped her more than I could He taught her everything he thought she should know. In return, She pointed out the problem with the accepted theories of fixing the population problem. I couldn’t help but smile; nobody had thought to go against the grain and test males.
