Dysotopia Stories

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting.

In the future, there are two groups of humans: the Alphas and the Betas. Loretta is an Alpha, an advanced mind. She's much smarter than the average human, and while science and technology have improved thanks to these super-minds, some people are threatened by them, and wouldn't mind seeing the Alphas eradicated. When Loretta's best friend, Jen, decides to become Alphas and it doesn't take, Loretta's life is suddenly in danger, because of her influence on Jen. The Betas don't take kindly to the equivalent of another life lost to the Alpha promise of a smarter future, and they'll do anything to stop it from happening ever again.
