    About this ebook

    Terisa Simonds is a sheltered rich girl living in a world where those with money spend their days in luxury, without a care, as androids do all the work, while the poor struggle on, completely beneath their notice. First Terisa lost her best friend Laura, when Laura's family fell from grace as their money dried up, but now, Laura had gone missing.

    Terisa's attempts to find her friend are about to throw her into a world of corporate greed, corruption, and technology's darkest secrets. If anyone finds out she knows the truth, she will be disappeared too.

    Check out the story on my YouTube Channel, Tales with Tasha.
    Four dark sci-fi micro stories also included.

      The Disappeared - Natasha Duncan-Drake

      THE DISAPPEARED

      When Money Rules the World

      Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.

      — Benjamin Franklin

      THE RICH PLAY, the poor disappear.

      My name is Terisa Simonds and I used to be just one of the rich. I didn't believe any of the outrageous stories about the androids that serve us, letting us while away our days in luxury and recreation. Then my best friend disappeared.

      Her family had been as rich as mine until the crash of '74. Her father didn't get the warnings in time. They had to sell off everything just to stay alive. They all had enhancements and the updates for those are not cheap. Going obsolete is a nightmare those of us with money choose not to think
