Social Relocation: A 1-Hour Crime Short Read
Some futures are just too bleak to accept.
A violent altercation with outlaw bikers and the discovery of a wealthy businessman’s body motivate disillusioned factory worker Dirk Nash to dive headfirst into a nefarious blackmail scheme to escape his painfully unappealing life.
Despite being young, gorgeous and ambitious Amanda Blue’s life isn’t turning out like she planned, but when her grandmother entrusts her with a shocking diary and a bag of gold teeth she realizes they may be her ticket to bigger and better things.
Will they go to any lengths to transcend their unfulfilling lives, or are some things off-limits for even the most determined social climbers?
Social Relocation is a 16,000-word standalone novella than can be read in about an hour. It’s dark, realistic and tells a complete story like a full-length novel but without all the fluff.
