Genre: Fiction

Theme:
The theme in “No Safety In Numbers” is not to go to the mall! No, just kidding,
but the real theme is that sometimes, difficult situations come up and you must
adapt to them. For example, imagine you are trapped in a mall; federal agents
and mall cops are everywhere. They end up isolating some of the people because
of some weird “cold” that’s going around. You have NO clue that there is a biological
bomb one floor underneath you, and it’s secretly hidden in the air ventilation
system and you might end up dead in the next 48 hours. Suppose you have been
locked up in this environment for two days and you are finally sick of this
place. You want out! So what do you do? You go to the guy that knows the
ins-and-outs of the mall. That’s what happened to the four teens Marco, Lexi,
Ryan, and Shay. They all have one thing in common, they all were able to
overcome their individual problems, and they all make it out alive, but just
barely. The story, “No Safety In Numbers” is written from the individual
perspectives of these four teens. They sometimes cross paths, both good and bad
things happen between them.
“No
Safety In Numbers” shows how important it is to be able to adapt to unexpected
situations. Life can throw you some NASTY curveballs and you need to be able to
adapt and hit a home run!
