Inspired by Hugh Howey's world of Wool. A Different Silo, A Different Threat.
In the post-apocalypse, society continues in underground silos, kept safe from the toxic world above by a simple hatch door and a strict set of rules. For generations, an oligarchy of priests and politicians preserved their standing while the common workers lived in ignorance.
When a young girl starts speaking of heaven as if it were just outside, the rigid caste system begins to crack. Sides are quickly drawn. The only thing preventing a violent upheaval is an old priest's confession and the child's last prayer. But will such simple faith be enough to save them all?
This novella, formerly titled The Last Prayer, is about 30 pages long and is available at Amazon.
by Lyndon Perry and Will Swardstrom
