A Tale for Tomorrow

Preamble

Extreme circumstances, which cannot now be revealed, have led thirteen adults and sixteen teenagers, who did not know one another in any way, to have to live together in a nameless mansion situated on grounds of which the enclosing walls have been (silently) defined to them as impassable, when they each were separately brought in. The nature which is set within its boundaries is generous and diverse, so that only a little labor is required for them to subsist without any deprivation or deficiency. They would thus not reasonably complain and anyway to whom could they complain? They know nothing of what awaits them, nothing of the possible or probable duration of this incarceration, nor of what could have caused or motivated it; neither do they know anything of the persons implicated, nor of their objectives.

They only remember having first been directed to a sort of makeshift camp by volunteers who seemed to be well-intentioned, before they were put to sleep until their arrival here.
