Skinned

About Skinned

The Download was supposed to change the world. It was supposed to mean the end of aging, the end of death, the birth of a new humanity. But it wasn't supposed to happen to someone like Lia Kahn. And it wasn't supposed to ruin her life. Lia knows she should be grateful that she didn't die in the accident. The Download saved her, but it also changed her forever. She can deal with being a freak. She can deal with the fear in her parent's eyes and she can deal with the way her boyfriend flinches at her touch. But she can't deal with what she knows, deep down, every time she forces herself to look in the mirror: She's not the same person she used to be. Maybe she's not even a person at all.
