Dusted: An Anthology of Short Stories

by Chris Bartholomew (Editor), Jessy Marie Roberts, Iain Pattison

"Our dwellings are tiny, everybody lives alone but to call our living conditions adequate would be an exaggeration. In the night when people are sleeping you can hear every cough, shout, scream or snore through the thin walls of the room. At home we are still unable to relax; the televisions have cameras behind the screens filming us. As we watch we are being watched by the caretaker." - From The Letter by Elle Pryor.
