Lot S29

By Kris Haliday

In a distant future of planet-wide desert, synthetic biology, and the great domed city of Indm, Cal is on the verge of adulthood. He is a son of Indm, an alpha brain in physics and computing, but finds himself in a forced-labor prison in the deep desert of The Waste. All memory of his personal identity has been permanently destroyed by neurotoxin. His skin is turning blue. He doesn't speak the prisoners' languages. He knows nothing about how to survive in prison or the desert. The guards are betting he won't last six months. His fate is in the hands a mysterious chab na, leader of prisoner resistance. The prisoners call her Bal m or Jeonsa or La Jaguara or Shujaa. They say she belongs to other worlds. How will Cal survive? How can he make a place for himself among the other prisoners, earn their trust, win their help? How can he find his way out of Lot S29? Narrated by Cal near the end of his life, he asks himself: what person was destroyed if I could still remember how to be one? if I still knew how to be a 'me'?
