TAP: A Near-Future Science Fiction Novella
The water is poisoned and the government knows. They’re using it to keep us docile. So what happens when we stop drinking?
When Jordan's sick wife goes missing, he's left to assume the plague trucks took her out of the city to die. Until he finds her journal and the ramblings of a woman who believed the government was killing people through the city's water.
After confiding her theory to his best friends, he finds one of them dead after police raid his home, while the other heads out with Jordan on the lam. Not knowing what to believe, he turns to a stranger with a criminal past and a compelling reason to follow her: she knows about his wife, about the journal, and the truth about the water.
They lie. We die. But the revolution is coming.
