Longlisted for #CWWP Commonwealth short story competition Congratulations to all shortlistees! My story is set in a dystopian future (is it?) where it's illegal to not smile, pets are banned (signals of loneliness and disaccord) It's about opression, betrayal and resistance!

Finally getting off here forever. Find me other places @humsentence
