Here’s a teaser for my story, “BURN 3”:

Phoenix lives in a post-apocalyptic world where the sun kills and people take extreme measures to avoid getting burned. But when children in the poorest sector start disappearing—including Phoenix’s younger sister—she must venture into a dark and forgotten part of the city, where she discovers there are things even more deadly than the sun.
