Lotus
by WILL COOPER
What happens when the perfect creation dares to defy its maker?
Lotus, a sixteen-year-old genetically engineered for perfection, has spent her entire life confined within the cold, sterile walls of a solitary dome. Under the watchful guidance of a virtual AI assistant called Mother, she endures an endless cycle of trials designed to prepare her for Integration with "the System."
Discouraged by her lack of progress and frustrated by Mother’s unceasing reminders to “trust the process,” Lotus grows increasingly defiant—until, in a moment of self-destructive desperation, she escapes.
Outside the dome, Lotus discovers a world beyond anything she imagined—a lush, untamed wilderness brimming with breathtaking wonders and lurking dangers, where ancient luddite tribes tell cryptic tales of the past and of the System’s machinations.
As Lotus navigates a perilous path of self-discovery, forging alliances and facing ruthless adversaries, the line between reality and illusion blurs, propelling her toward the ultimate discovery: the truth.
