The Alternative
The Alternative is a reality where, to reduce violence, drug use, truancy, and other “unsavory” behaviors, the government requires everyone to wear Virtual Reality gear any time they leave their residence. The VR unit navigates them to school and work to minimize interaction with anyone outside of their immediate family. For entertainment, they can study, read blogs, listen to instrumental music, play one-player games online, journal, or exercise. School subjects are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) heavy and History is censored to support a “Pro-Alternative” lifestyle. Megan, 17, our main character, finds herself confronted with a stranger from the “outside,” who is asking for her help. When her parents go missing, she and her twin brothers find themselves living among a group of self-supporting, special-needs, castoffs. Using their training and resources from the community, Megan and seven others embark on a mission to find her parents.

Will she find him in time?
