The Exodus
by David Fairchild
Genre: Dystopian, SciFi
Two-time
award-winning book in the classes of E-book from NGIBA and Science
Fiction from IAN
A
girl who feels nothing; a boy who sees shadows and hears what others
cannot; a baby without license to be born; a deaf teenager and
scientific savant; offensive people; a general who passed law to
hunt, imprison and kill them all. Where do they hide when the
sub-nations of the United States draw their own lines in the ground
that dictate which people get to be oppressed and who gets to be
offended?
The
Salvo Cartel built the tunnels to help them escape, to aid those with
mental ailments, those who question, those who refuse to conform,
gays, Christians, artists, people with scruples, and other deviants.
Do they flee to Salvo's underground cities, with eyes set on a
grander safe place? Where do they go when Lady Liberty douses her
light? Perhaps the same place she's been pointing her torch towards
ever since she stepped atop her pedestal and realized at once that
one day she too would be told to shut up.

David Fairchild resides in Spanish Fork, Utah, and teaches writing at Utah Valley University. He has a background working in the amusement and entertainment industry, including amusement parks, haunted houses, and theatre. He is a retired stand-up comic. He holds degrees in writing and communication. He wishes he could say that he loves to write in a way that entertains people, but that would be a lie. He never gets to write because all the characters he’s ever created keep stealing his keyboard. Did I say characters? I meant bullies. They’re all bullies! In fact, his work is always taken over by that bunch of bullies who each strive to fill the pages on David’s computer with their own stories, leaving absolutely no room for David to tell his own. To date, he hasn’t written a single one of his own stories. He just gives birth to bullies who take over his book pages and tell him how bad of a job he does talking about them. They’re so mean, and they talk behind his back. They say they’re not, but he can hear them. Anyway, he never gets to write what he wants. Well, there it is! Fairchild is a fraud who stands on the shoulders of the characters that have punched their ways out of that pea-brain of his. Suppose it makes sense. They’re all smarter than he is. His brain is just too small to contain all that bully intellect. David does want everyone to know though that someday he will finally write the story he wants, but what does anyone care? They all just use him so they can get close to his bullies.
