Humanity can heal all citizens of Future Crimes. Do not resist.

Maria Fabron and her son run through the woods, hunted by the government's PreEmp. The agent claims her little boy will be guilty of a heinous deed and must be taken away. Fearing for her son's freedom and identity, Maria engages the agent in a conflict of beliefs where two views of the world clash. She fights, praying her love and strength can be her son's saving grace. Can free will reign, or is destiny inevitable?

A PreEmp is a special officer sent to capture Future Criminals for rehabilitation. The Department of Humanity dispatches a PreEmp to recover Lyle Fabron, a boy witnessed in a precognitive vision as a dangerous threat. As the agent approaches the house, the mother takes off with the target. Why would a loving woman prevent her child from getting help? What darkness can seize the civilized beasts known as humans to do more harm than good?

Humanity is an exploration of nature where human belief and animal instinct intertwine and dual. Ideology is right in the eyes of its possessor and in turn possesses. Both sworn to defend, a mother and agent face off. Whose view of the world will prevail? Who will determine Lyle's fate? (Short Story)

Interview with the Author

Q: This story takes place in a complex world. Will there be more stories?
A: Yes. I do intend to write more stories in the Humanity Universe. I enjoy the Earth introduced here. Writing stand-alone short stories allows me to explore facets of the world without the restriction of adhering to a plotline. It's like creating a mosaic where each story is a picture within a picture.

Q: The cover is beautiful. What inspired the image?
A: Yeah, it may be a little “off” for a science fiction story in general. The painting is an abstraction of a forest setting. The story does take place in the woods and the idea of nature is a major theme. Having an earthier cover seemed appropriate as the notion of what makes us human and what makes us animals plays an important role in how the reader feels about events unfolding.
