If you mention the past, you die. ~~~ Phoenix has grown tired of unjust deaths, brutal killings, and punishment for individuality. Chips implanted in the throats of citizens ensure that any mention of life fifteen years ago is heard by none other than the unnamed president known as The One, and his loyal Enforcers. Trusting others is hard when people have killed their own flesh and blood for a can of expired beans or a few meager coins. Having lost her family in the mass bombings all those years ago, Phoenix has no one save for herself and her grit. As it has been for fifteen years. The only way to flee the violence is to sail off the Continent, but doing so might be riskier than staying. An unexpected encounter with someone she thought she'd never see again forces her to reconstruct her plans. Facing old friends, new comrades, and cruel Enforcers, Phoenix finds herself confused about her role in the midst of all these changes. Strangers are turning into allies, allies are turning into traitors, and a revolution is being born. There is a continuous battle between Phoenix's heart and mind. She doesn't know who to trust, who to kill, and who to love. When you are surrounded by many but feel completely alone, you start making dangerous decisions. ~~~ ONGOING ©Heba Mawid 2020
