Description
Darker Than Blue - a Mortal Coil is a dystopian short story set in the fictitious nation Atlantis Island in 2030.
The inhabitants have various hues: pink, yellow, brown, and darker-than-blue. Boy Blue, the antihero, is a psychiatric patient who suffers from seasonal depression and recurring nocturnal hallucinations in a mental asylum.
He is 45 years old, darker than blue, tall, massive, and muscular as if he were a giant, and he has struggled to get his life in order. He lost his parents at a young age and committed minor offences during his teenage years. Boy Blue faces ten years in prison upon release from the asylum for imaginary rape.
Signing up for Dr Google's vaccine program against the virus, a cover for a pharmaceutical company's research to help young women with insufficient sensuality seems the sure way to avoid the sentence. Boy Blue commits himself to the pink doctor's program by signing up. He has great regard for Dr Google. Then, Boy Blue learns that Dr Google will not keep his word. He becomes anxious and indecisive-his fate swings like a pendulum.
Will Boy Blue avoid a ten-year prison term after his mental institution release? Meanwhile, as presidential elections near, a dark force looms over Atlantis Island and threatens democracy.
The pink president aspires to be a dictator and has the support of trolls and others.
The race is between charismatic, nationalist incumbent DeeDee and billionaire, philanthropist, and social-democratic candidate Charlie Marx. Each of the candidates is pink. Politicians expect the results to be close. Fear persists that the demise of democracy is imminent. This short story--just under 10,000 words--encompasses multiple genres: dystopia, fantasy, naturalism, and speculative fiction.
Review
"I enjoyed reading Darker than Blue, I was taken aback by how clever and well-written it was! I can't wait until it's published, I'll definitely be buying it and I'd be more than happy to help you advertise and promote it once it's all done!"
-- Chelsea Terry, the copywriter who did an excellent job editing the story and to whom I offer my sincere gratitude.

... Darker Than Blue by Lawrence G. Taylor is well written and transports the reader through an imaginary world that certainly gives us food for thought. The story highlights how most of us have been victims of discrimination which impacts our lives and stays with us forever. Through many interesting characters, Darker Than Blue explores various forms of discrimination and how some benefit at the expense of others. The scenes and characters are vividly described and easy to understand, keeping the reader's attention from start to finish. We dream of a future free of all forms of discrimination; however, we are the only ones who can make that dream a reality. As highlighted in Darker Than Blue, we have to work together if we want positive change in our beliefs and values.
