A young adult dystopian short story

His little sister is all he has left. Now, he might lose her too.

Scraping out an existence in the crumbling Lower City, fourteen-year-old Dex is the sole caretaker of his baby sister—and she’s dying. But in the dystopian kingdom of Imperia, where an implanted chip dictates a person’s social class and healing knowledge is hoarded by the elite, the government couldn’t care less for the life of one little girl.

Defying the laws of the kingdom, seeking out a sympathetic healer, and harboring a dangerous secret his parents left behind, Dex must grapple with the painful personal cost of saving Ari before it’s too late.
