Jamie was going through the mail, hoping that this was the day. Most of it was bills, but the last one was a letter with the return address from Vacation 4 U.
He had entered the contest on a whim at the local supermarket, not really having any hope of winning. That had been two months ago and so he had gone back to hunting for a job.
At the age of twenty one he stood five foot ten, had sandy blond hair that was cut short, brown eyes and still lived with his parents. Torn between looking for a job and entering college, he had been at the supermarket checking on an application that he would later find out to be a bust.
But now here it was, almost to the end of May, without a job and after seeing some advertisements on the Telly, he was now hoping to be a winner. Figuring that college wasn't such a bad idea, he gone down to the local university and collected the necessary paperwork.
Out ritual habit, he checked the mail as he came home from the university.
Dropping the rest of the mail on the table, he went up to his room. His mom and dad wouldn't be home until around five, which suited him just fine.
Opening the letter, he scanned and confirmed that he was indeed the grand prize winner. Along with the letter was a ticket permitting entry and a pamphlet. Pulling out the brochure, he opened it he began to read.
Insert: Congratulations on your choice of Vacation 4 U. A new state of the art resort that allows you to escape your life and step into the life of another. You have selected the three month package and your time for arrival is stated for June First.
Jamie looked at the calendar hanging on the back of his door and saw that the first was in a week. Turning back to the pamphlet, he continued to read.
Insert: To activate your package, all you need to do I call our number at 243-555-1013. Once you do, a private shuttle will be sent to your nearest bus terminal and you shall be taken to the park. From there, you can choose the option of male, female, or Therianthropic, which is a anthropomorphic human with animal qualities.

If guests choose to engage in sexual activities, they will be held responsible if one of their members become pregnant. Guest assume the life of teenager and are expected to act with a certain level of maturity. Guest can only choose the lifestyle of a child if only certain procedures are followed first.
Sighing, thinking that this was a big decision, Jamie closed the brochure and put all the information back in the envelope. Setting it down on the bed, he went to complete his chores before his father raised a stink.
Afterward, there still wasn't any time to go over the information in the envelope because his parents had returned and mother had started dinner.
It wasn't until about eight p.m. that Jamie finally got a chance to look over the stuff for Vacation 4 U again.
After a half hour, he had finally made up his mind and called the company to reserve his travel plans.

A week later found him being escorted in a lobby with a large wide desk. He had brought no luggage, being told that all would be provided. Moving toward the desk, Jamie was asked to fill out some release forms, answer some questions about his background. Stuff like if he had ever done drugs, was he a wanted felon etc, etc.
He was then asked if he wanted to participate in the child package, which he declined.
Afterwards, having passed the examination, for that was how he viewed it, he was shown to a room. In front of him was three doors: Male, Female and brochure.
Asking him to choose a door, the secretary stepped out and closed the door he'd come through to get to this room.
