Samantha was bathing with Ocean, her four year old, when Ocean pointed her breast. “Mom, why do you have boobs and not Ocean?
“Girls get it when they get older.”
“Then I will get it too?”
“You will, sweetie, when the time comes.” Samantha turn away and whispered, “I’ll make sure you do.”
“Will I get that too?” Ocean added pointing another part of her.
A bitter smile appeared on the Samantha’s face. “No, Ocean, you won’t.”
“I want to get that too because I have not seen anyone like mine. And it hurts when you help hide it. I want to take my undies in the pool too, like everyone.”
Samantha eyes widened. Her hands shook as she cupped Ocean’s beautiful cheeks, and despite her effort to appear calm, her voice was a notch higher. “Listen, Ocean. Everything in this world is supposed to be perfect. Being imperfect is a flaw punishable by death. But mommy love you so much that she gave birth to you despite your imperfection. So, remember what I’ve always told you?”
Ocean nodded. “Never said that I’m different”
Her heart ached. “That’s right, sweetie. And you must never reveal your secret to anyone else.” Samantha kissed Ocean’s forehead. She hated to give so much restrictions to Ocean but she has no choice. If she wanted her only child to survive in this world, Ocean must live a lie.

🍒you are welcome🍒
Interesting plot Jess, I feel bad for the little girl. That’s a sucky way to live!
Thanks Mathew ❤️
I feel bad for Ocean too. But it’s a dystopian so it’s about get worse than that. 😭 I feel like a villain already.
😮 Now I want to try writing one. I dont even know what a dystopian definition is. Is Hunger Games a dystopian universe?
I haven’t watch the film. I have the book series but I haven’t read it. But from the little I know, yes it belongs to dystopian genre. 🙂
Wow, intro is so intriguing… we are already waiting for this book…😍
This is intriguing, Jess! 😲
Thanks Weng ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind encouragement Samyak! 💙
You’ve got me already! Cannot wait to read it! Estimated finishing time? 😉🤗
I’m so happy you’re hook! ❤️ Um… but I probably won’t be done writing it before end of December… I’m not sure when it will be publish. Editing is a pain. 😑
I’m sure is not easy but I’ll wait patiently 🙂 It will be really a great book 🙂
