Hi my name's Mark.
I'm fifteen years old and I used to be really into tennis. In fact, until today, I went to a Tennis Academy. I'll be 16 tomorrow and in schools all over Eurasia when you reach 16, you have a routine genetic screening test. However, my printout was blank and I found out that my dad had selected me behind my mum's back before I was born. I know that he was trying to protect me from Friedreich's ataxia, the disorder my Auntie Annie had, but he also selected me to be a boy and to be good at sports.

I used to think I was good at tennis but now I think that it was just another thing my dad paid for. He made me into what he wanted. He told me I had a gift, but actually it has nothing to do with me. I don't know who I am anymore. I just need to get away and have some time to think...
