Magdad City is a slum and Bastian one of its offspring's scums.
Drugs, gangs wars and misery are his usual... But he doesn't really care. All he wants? To have fun...

And to forget that scum never leaves the slum...

***
Magdad City is the poorest town of the planet Terra Secundus, the new home world of Earth population, since the Great Exodus.

Born from the post-war repopulation of the planet, Magdad City emerged from the ground as the second economic capital of the newly formed world democracy.

Many generations later, the city is no more but a ghost of its previous self where gangs rule the city life and authority ensures that what grows in Magdad, stays in Magdad.

In an autobiographical narrative, Bastian recounts how he came to learn that freedom from the city comes with its own price and sacrifices.

Warning! This story contains what policies deem as controversial and sensitive subjects, including gun violence, parental abuse, rape, drugs, homophobia, prostitution and LGBQ topics.

It will be noted that to me, those topics are part of a bigger discussion about human societies that it is important to have. There is nothing taboo, nothing choking, because nothing is truly black and white. This is is just a story about how life can really be, with its up and down altogether, and what we can make of it.
