The School
Meadowbridge stood at the edge of London on a wooded hill that would have been pretty if Meadowbridge hadn't been standing there. The dull brick building with its tall, narrow windows and wrought-iron fence had been there as long as anyone could recall, and it had worn many faces over the course of a century. It had been a children’s home, a reform school, occasionally both at once; after that, it was a hospital, in a time when phrases like “eugenic virtue” and “benevolent sterilization” represented the forward-thinking progress of the medical profession. The oldest residents of the local borough remembered being frightened of the place when they were growing up, and as children they had dared each other to press their faces against the wrought iron fences and try to catch a glimpse of whatever it was that happened behind the grimy plate glass windows. Some of them swore, to this day, that they had seen things that defied the laws of man and God.
Eventually the compound had been abandoned. Even when German bombs laid waste to whole neighborhoods of the town during the war, no one had opened up the cold, sepulchral halls for refugees. The Meadowbridge complex simply festered on its forested hill in the north quarter of town, a cold and silent monument to the misery and injustice it had witnessed, destined to be condemned and blotted out of the borough’s memory forever. Until the Jericho Foundation acquired it.
Located just outside of London, Meadowbridge is a boarding school for children with special abilities due to mutation. Unfortunately many of the children have been practically abandoned by their parents, which has led to Meadowbridge becoming their home, not just their home away from home.
