    About this ebook

    In a dystopian future, where the government surgically attaches mechanical masks to children's mouths to control their words, Dean's greatest desire is to kiss his girlfriend Nelly.

     

    When he catches Kitty, the school outcast, without his mask, Dean begins to imagine a new future with Nelly, but is it worth the risk?

     

    With strong themes of sexual repression and desperation, Dean must ask himself what lengths he is willing to go to feel his loved one's lips.

     

    If you enjoyed the dystopian classic 1984 by George Orwell, you'll enjoy this short story that explores themes of control, love, and power. Buy it now!
