About this eBook

A Dystopian Fantasy Novella from award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson.

Could you live a perfect life, knowing someone else took on all your pain and despair?

Skyla has always lived a perfect, happy life – just like everyone in her Community. Even if there are brief moments where she is certain she has experienced pain and regret, those moments are brief and quickly forgotten.

But when Aiden, Skyla's next-door neighbor, reveals the truth of the Community and their perfect lives, Skyla is faced with an unexpected choice regarding her future.

Will her actions lead her Community to a better life? Or will she doom them all?

Join Skyla and Aiden in this thought-provoking novella inspired by Ursula K. LeGuin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas."

I am not really sure what to think of this story. It is very strange & different. It was not easy for me to enjoy because it deals with one child experiencing the pain of another person all the time. Perhaps it compares to the suffering Jesus experienced on the cross for all of mankind & that is the purpose of the story. It is definitely not like any book I have ever read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
