The Confined World Kailey Cheng

Elwin Ritter lives in a big world with too little. He steps through the streets of ash and death each morning. He doesn't see a change in seasons. Everything is gray. His world is confined. After the world population rises to nine billion, resources are cut short and the human race is near demise. Cain Duncan has a solution. As a scientist, he continues his grandfather's legacy of the Organization for Better Humanity in order to eliminate the unnecessary humans to preserve the scarce resources as well as the human race. Elwin is one of those "unnecessary" humans; he doesn't have a right leg. Disabled people are useless and weak to Cain Duncan, to the world. Elwin joins the Liberators, a group of rebels against the unjust government. The Liberators are just like him; they are useless humans that shouldn't exist. Disabled. Broken. Worthless. They hope that one day they will realize that their world isn't so confined.
