My short Story, “The Unnaturals” has been published in Hydra Publications‘ anthology Dystopian Express!
It is a prose rewrite of the opening segment of a screenplay that we are writing/developing. In it, I tell the story of citizen Serug 99 as he goes for his weekly “confession” at church, a process that involves uploading all of the week’s memories for review by the priest.
Our working synopsis of the film, which we hope to someday get a chance to make:
In a bleak, dystopian society where religion, government, and media have merged, a law-enforcement unit is tasked with hunting down “unnatural” citizens to maintain the full conformity and unity of the citizenry.
The book is for sale as an ebook on Amazon, and a physical book will be available in the next week or so as well. Buy it. Read it. Do it.
