Silent Rebellion
Keep in mind this was my first story. Imagine being trapped in a world that decides everything for you -- how much you eat, how much sleep you get, who you love, where you live, even when you die.

(Think Hunger Games mixed with Matched mixed with a little bit of Divergent, as those were my inspirations as I wrote)Complete
