Description:
Execution above
or extinction below...
“Please help me.
I'm pregnant.”
A chance
encounter with a fugitive has turned Christine's life into a nightmare.
Survival is hard
enough in the poverty-stricken streets of the Lower Blocks, and this woman is
far from the first to flee the Engineers who oversee the City. But now
Christine's a target: hunted by the aristocracy, her future uncertain, and past
laid bare. And a person with Christine's powers can't afford to be caught.
Humanity built
the Foundation to elevate themselves from the poisoned earth, but Christine and
Ilsa must choose whether to descend to hell below, or remain in hell above.
From
post-apocalyptic authors Nicolas Wilson (Homeless), and Michelle Browne (The
Underlighters) comes Euphoria/Dysphoria, a biopunk dystopia.
Excerpt:
“Don’t
walk too fast, don’t avoid peoples’ eyes, and remember—if anyone asks where you
should be, the factory on this Level is a few buildings away from the shelter.
If you backtrack a bit, you can lose them and then keep moving. They won’t
expect to find you on another Block, so aim for the bridge to the west.” Some
part of Christine hoped that she might conclude her lesson with, “And now, I’ve
helped you more than I should’ve, so don’t look for more.”
She
knew, logically, that the frightened woman had already signed her up for
Service, and that even ditching her now wouldn’t keep Christine in the
Engineers’ good graces.
