Description

A long-held axiom maintains that morality cannot be legislated; morality, after all, is a personal concept that comes from within each individual, while laws passed supposedly for the good of all are imposed from without. So, what happens when the government steps in to regulate a particular human trait and everyone jumps on board to ensure the law doesn't get broken? Conrad accidentally breaks one of the laws of the land and finds himself being pursued by bystanders and police alike, he quickly discovers that one simple mistake could be the end of his freedom…and possibly his life. A short work of a dystopian future from our Orbits sci-fi/fantasy line.
