The Alabasters
In a time and place not far from our own, in the eyes of those in power, a perfect place exists with a perfect population and a power purveyed by a perfect leader.
Law and order reigns supreme. Dissent is suppressed. Loyalty rewarded.
But beneath the façade, somehow, somewhere… a collective, simmering energy exists just waiting to boil over.
“The Alabasters” is story set in a near future dystopian society where two friends must take sides in the growing conflict to come.
Like a sculptor working a giant block of Alabaster, The State chips away any designated undesirables in an effort to create the perfect society.
But those who were discarded have mobilized and unified.
The time to fight is now.
They are :
“The Alabasters”.
