You wake up in a sterile laboratory, hooked up to machines and wires that entrap your entire body. Your name is Brandon Marke, at least that's what the overhead neon light both shows and tells you.

"Welcome to the Planes." it says rather unenthusiastically. Not that machines should be enthusiastic, but you feel like this one should. Like it's been through the same routine too many times.

The computer voice commands you to do simple things at first, count to ten, lift your fingers one at a time. The questions begin to become more excruciating with time, and you fear for what would happen if you got too many incorrect.

It's basically a pair of knights fighting.

Follow yourself through your hometown, doing things that suit you.

Anyone read this?  I thought I was great, but the sequel, Golden Son, is way better than the first.

It's actually a bit like that.

But then again, that's a Goose Bumps story, and those tend to not be so serious.

It's not a utopian scenario, like the Giver.  It's more of a cult that's manifested into a country, and is brainwashing their youth to continue the cult.  Extreme cult actions included.

What do you guys think of a story about a kid stuck in a world made of grey, where a dictatorship is run and pumps propoganda into the minds of children, and you have to excape?  

It takes place in a school, run by a country named The Fourth Rome, where they've unlocked the secret spoken language of Latin.  Your character has just become self-aware, due to a prolonged absence of a mysterious black liquid that's served in the cafeteria and vending machines.  He's starting to lose his ability to comprehend the Latin, as well as his grey skin, and is at risk of exposing himself more and more every second.
