An Urban Dystopia

New City – An Urban Dystopia

My short story New City is featured in the Volume 34 of The Opiate magazine. New City tells the tale of a foolish man in love with a woman from the wrong side of the fence. In the dystopia of New City, workers are banished to camps beyond the buffer zone. Only the rich live in the techno-city. And never the twain shall meet.
