The Divided


Front cover for my 24 page utopia/dystopian story "The Divided."
The story is about a civilization much similar to the one we know today, but with a government bent on separating criminals from the other inhabitants using a machine called 'The Divide.'
This machine can determine someone as being 'criminally minded.' All these people get sent to another island in the hope that they will kill each other off. But two people find love on this enclosed island and have a baby. They take care of him until he gets to an age of understanding whats happened to them. They both die before committing crime and so the boy must find a way back to the "utopia" hoping he can tell everyone his parents story of love in a place were love shouldn't exist according to the system.
