They slide closer to the edge and His Excellency gasps, "Does the lion apologize to the sheep for being at the top of the food chain? No, they just accept their roles and have a feast." He hisses, eyes bright with fear. Evrim doesn't answer, only locks her hands tighter around His Excellency's throat and looks out towards the black sea of the city. ------------------------- All Evrim ever wanted is to see the stars. But she's stuck in the lower sectors, where pollution clogs the air and death clings to the streets like a disease. Every day, she sees suffering, and pain, and hunger. And it frustrates her to no end because she knows that there's a better world out there. The high sectors, where the citizens waltz through pristine skyscrapers and fill their plate with enough food to feed her for a week. She wants, she needs, change. So when the opportunity comes, she takes it. Using her position as the current winner of the King of the Hill tournaments, a prestigious high sector championship, she joins an underground rebel group along with her best friend, determined to bring His Excellency down on his knees and bring justice to her fellow low sectors. But then they make a mistake, and everything comes crumbling down around her as her world shatters. She's left to pick up the pieces and wonder, is justice really too much to ask for?

Hello dear friends. I'm Doctor Josef R. Daneeka, inventor of the Lips, Nips and Hips line of cosmetics and the Warsaw Skin-E diet pill, world renowned surgeon, generous lover of my wife, and friendly neighbor. This screed, this angry little book of lies, exists solely to discredit me, my family and my work. I have no doubt that my corporate enemies (Procter & Gamble, I'm looking at you) are behind this propaganda. I tell you now, ladies and gentlemen of the jury: I have never spliced human DNA with extraterrestrial DNA; I have never manufactured human clones; I am not an opiate addict, and I most certainly do not keep my wife locked up in my cellar with a rhesus monkey. The (most likely invented) teenager protagonist herein, is a thief and a con artist who will play upon your sympathies in order to manipulate you. Moreover, his tale is nothing more than seedy, smut. While I, like any good citizen, cherish my gay comrades, the deviant author of this work wants to infest your children's minds with his debaucherous story of teenaged gay sex and drug abuse. Abstinence, dear friends, is all that I preach. Abstinence, and a deep love for God. Please, friends, avert your eyes. Oh, and for you ladies out there. Can't seem to get rid of those pesky zits? Fear not. Krazy Koncealer can blitz those zits, lickety-split. Permanently! Available at any pharmacy near you! Fantabulous cover art by : @Ferret-bird
