A science fiction short story that explores the many things we take for granted, and shines a light on the quiet beauty of our world.
Dawn, a next-generation synthetic human, has never spoken and has never left her room. That is until Nathaniel arrives...
When Dawn hears the familiar sound of footsteps descending the stairs into her room, she fears the worst. But the man who enters is not like the other men she has known. Nathaniel talks to her as though she is a real person. When Nathaniel describes a world she has never known, Dawn begins to imagine a freedom she has never experienced.
Seth Rain lives in the Black Country, in the UK, waking far too early in the morning to write dystopian science fiction novels. Having studied English and Philosophy at University, he went on to attain a Master of Arts in English Literature. He has been a fan of dystopian and science fiction stories for some time and is now embarking on writing a series of novels of his own.
When he's not writing, Seth teaches English to 11-18 year olds. And when he's not writing, or teaching children, he spends time with his own two teenage children, his girlfriend, films, music and above all, books.
