SCREENS

by Nathaniel Sanders

I’m locked in a trunk, if I live long enough we will arrive in five hours. I didn’t want any of this; I’m the last person who wanted to reconnect the world, but I didn’t have a choice. A text was sent to me the morning the network went dark. “You are protected.” The day I killed my family and broke my spirit I received a text from the same number. I had to take this opportunity; it beckoned me, resurrecting my past – now I'm a celebrity for having the last working cell phone – reconnecting the internet one device at a time. And I might die because of it. We are so close to the end. I can feel the closure settling in. However, if we aren't helped everything will unravel, and your newly reconnected phone will once again be useless. We cannot proceed without your help. This crisis has caused a pandemic of panic; people are making uninformed and disastrous decisions. I have the only cure, we will fix this, but only if you lend us your courage. I have to keep this short, if they hear us, I will not live long enough to send you this address. Meet me at the end, or there won’t be a network left to save. Please help, Sasha Taylor

Amazing

This story is outstanding. At first I thought this was going to be one of those kinds of books that would make fun of current society but it's not. The authors imagination is delightful!

Although the e-book could and should be done better technically (formatting, editing, etc.), I gave it 5 stars because I enjoyed the capturing story and the whole idea. It is a gripping, exciting and fast-paced read which diverted my thoughts and made me feel better in times of a personal distress.

I don't know whether the author is planning on writing a sequel or not, but I encourage him to think in that direction. Screens has a potential of a bestseller, but only after the author corrects the present errors and makes the whole read even more fluent.

While I appreciate the story, I would have enjoyed it a lot more if a good proofreader had made the numerous corrections it needs. I read the kindle edition, perhaps another edition has been corrected.
