Extended description

After weeks of waiting, Dan is finally able to be in the live audience of his favorite show. His seat is near the top of the bleachers, but the huge screens and the atmosphere are worth it. It should be a normal episode, yet as Dan watches the contestants he sees some discrepancies. One girl in particular stands out. Normally he wouldn’t have noticed her, but he becomes convinced that the show plans to kill her. Yet what can he do from way up in the stands and who would listen to him if he tried. The Stadium is slightly futuristic, but has a contemporary feel. Also included is the first chapter of The White Lilac, a YA dystopian sci-fi.

Review by: jewelofgod on July 05, 2012 :
This short story is well written. It both takes a look at where we have come from as a society (the gladiator games and so on from the past) as well as where we could be headed in the future - entertainment to the extreme. It is a thought provoking and evocative read.
