What’s your number worth?
In a world where every teen is branded with a behavioral score, perfection isn’t just expected—it’s required. Drop below 70 and you disappear. No warnings. No appeals. Just gone.
Enter Jamie.
She didn’t ask to be a revolutionary. She just wanted to keep her little brother safe. But when he’s targeted by the system, Jamie hacks the score grid—and instantly becomes public enemy number one.
Score Drop is a punch-to-the-gut dystopian short story that dives headfirst into surveillance culture, digital reputation, and what happens when the system decides you’re a problem.
It’s about loyalty that burns brighter than fear. About the messy, desperate beauty of resistance. And about one angry, brilliant teenager who refuses to shut up and stay in line.
Why I Wrote It
Because I’m exhausted watching the world tell kids they’re too emotional, too reactive, too much—when really, they’re just trying to survive a system designed to break them.
Because control disguised as safety is still control.
Because some stories demand to be screamed into the void.
Who It’s For

Teens who’ve had enough of being tracked, ranked, and judged
Adults who remember what it felt like to be powerless—and want to fight back
