Safe in the City - A Dystopian Romantic Short Story

"What sinister stuff have you been up to this week? Tell, tell, tell!"

Inspired by great sci-fi such as Orwell's 1984 this exciting romantic adventure is the perfect quick read for your Kindle or book club.

Safe in the City is a 10,000 word dystopian short story, following Ruby as she struggles to free her mind in Dome City, where boredom is a crime, and love and sex are banned.

Safe from the post-apocalyptic world outside, life inside Dome City revolves around celebrity hysteria, televised public outpourings, and quick-fix pleasure. Everything is on film - life is like a video game and movie combined. But after Ruby accidentally stops taking her night-time sleep drugs, she’s plagued by a background buzz of dissatisfaction, and she realises that life holds much more than the lies spewed out by the governing Alliance.

When handsome heart-throb Harry Heaven comes knocking on her door in the dead of night, Ruby finds a secret world outside the Dome, as well as a treasure trove of truths inside of herself. With Harry at her side, Ruby discovers love, life’s purpose, and how to keep a peaceful mind – gifts which are free to us all.

Safe in the City draws upon dystopian themes of how to be happy, combining them with the author’s own experiences of Buddhist philosophy and meditation, resulting in a gripping plot, heartfelt characters, and hints of how we can all be free.
