Gabriel Cronn

Mr. Carlisle's Secret

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.” Those were the words etched on the precinct door. I was one of the few left old enough to remember when it said “To protect and serve.” It’s been almost 50 years since they mandated the implant, and nothing has gone unseen since. No moment is hidden, no sight is sacred. In all the world, there was only one secret withheld by common people, and that secret belonged to an old man by the name of Jonathan Carlisle.
