THE LAWN CULT
A dystopian novel by Daniel Gall
55,000 words
Motors roar, and the scent of poisons wafts in the air, as Fourteen gathers with the cult on the First Lawn. Stepping forth from a grid of plastic unto a lawn of cut grass, he is chosen. Behold!
A twisted messiah story from a land of competing cults, THE LAWN CULT tells the tale of Felix and Juna, star crossed lovers from an idyllic, pastoralist cult that worships the grass. Torn apart by a power struggle that brings the grass worshipers to the brink of civil war, they foolishly turn to a strange grass-cutting cult, which arrives intent on brainwashing their people. Their minds are purged and reprogrammed with constant busywork, and ritualized hate, the prescribed conventions of the "Supposedto," the main doctrine of the Lawn Cult, become their religion, and as they forget the past, and even their names, they’re each assigned a number. Felix is lost; purged. He’s Fourteen now. But Juna has a plan, one that will pit the purged Lawn Cult fanatics against themselves from a forgotten past. Before she purges with him, Juna sets her plan in motion. If ever Felix, and the grass worshipers can be brought back, it will only be at the end of a great quest.
