Synopsis

Rains is a science fiction tale of survival, secrecy, and resistance that follows Baylar and her family as they seek refuge in a mountain—the only sanctuary from the endless rain that began once the machines took over. When they encounter the Burning Hand resistance, a machine attack forces them to flee, and Baylar’s carefully guarded secret is revealed: the rain does not harm her. With her family torn apart and her people in peril, she may be the key to salvation—if she can survive long enough to discover how.

About Author

Marcel Vasquez

I’m multiracial and multilingual, born and raised in the US. Locally and over the past year and a half I’ve been building a grassroots-style following for my writing, and my platform as The Masked Writer. In addition to my submission, I was lucky enough to have three stories published last year. I'm querying three novels, and am constantly working on new ideas spanning different genres and mediums. Writing and storytelling are the core of my being, and I aim to share these stories with as many people as possible. Through my work I hope to inspire other artists of color and marginalized communities to pursue their creative dreams and put their work out there, despite the hurdles that stand in their way.
