The Ship

by Mackenzie Morris

Hiding behind their permanent masquerade masks, the last known remnants of the human race live on a gigantic luxury cruise ship with everything they have ever wanted or needed. The only catch? Anyone caught not paying their debts or trying to remove their masks is taken away in the middle of the night and never heard from again. After her parents are taken from their cabin one night, sixteen-year-old Anne finds herself alone among the mysterious covered faces who know what her parents left her. An insurmountable debt that must be paid immediately or the Officers will begin hunting for her. Running through the ship to avoid the dark Officers, the all-powerful Captain, and other bloodthirsty citizens that have become monsters through infection and experimentation, Anne must find a way to escape . . . or take the chance of removing her mask that she has worn her entire life and finding out the dark truth about the ship. She only has three days.
