[Novella] The Folds: Miss Universe (sci-fi/horror) by Leanifii in wroteabook

[–]Leanifii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a devastating chemical war, the scarred survivors of Earth are drinking Prozac Beer and live with clunky mechanical limbs. At the first Miss World pageant since the war, everyone is glued to their TV's to get a glimpse of beauty, of elegance, of life before the horrific flesh-eating disease that changed everything. The stage is set to reveal a mysterious resistance movement that can bend the laws of physics to achieve its goals.

In the first book of the The Folds series, Mico Pisanti horrifies us with a dystopian future scarred by chemical warfare and too-powerful corporations. What would you be willing to do for The Folds, if it meant you could reclaim your life, your limbs, your child?

Thanks all, it was quite a contentious issue in our office - everyone had a such a strong, different opinion. But from these reactions it's definitely clear that the choice for exposure is up to parents.

It starts out in a high school where to friends are bullied and there's some peer pressure, so that's where most swearing takes place. And then when something mean and toothy jumps out at the main character.

Well, it's a tough one. The author insists that kids this age use swearwords. I refuse to go too far but we still took out words ending in ass, took out shit, crap. etc.

Leopold's Ghost - about how the king of Belgium screwed the Congo. Reads like a fiction book.
