Even a Bookworm Will Turn

Galen's only goal was to learn to help people. He wanted to become a doctor. He wanted to heal and save people like his little brother. Though he was still only a child, Galen knew he could only do that if he applied himself to the fullest in his education. But in a world where Knowledge is Power and Power is never free, Galen has to fight for everything he learns. “In this world, [Knowledge] was hoarded or hidden and people like Galen weren’t supposed to be able to reach out and learn this knowledge for themselves. The ones who already had the power were the ones who set the balancing scale. The scale wasn’t set equally, but it was set. People like Galen could only upset the loaded scale’s manipulated “balance.” In upsetting balances, Galen could only end up upsetting many, many unforeseen things." Note from the Author, This is my first time publishing any of my creative writing projects. In fact, this is the first time I've allowed other people to read my writing. I do this because I enjoy it. This is truly an amateur novel in the purest sense: Amateur = Amare "to love" While I'm not an aspiring writer aiming to sharpen my writing skills, I will still appreciate comments and suggestions on my writing! *Title may be subject to change*
