Lenny and Sandra fell out of love, but their 3 by 3 meter home holds them together. Having survived the ten-year terraforming of Earth, they drink bitter green slime, play Jenga, and wait for their protective capsule door to open. But how will humanity endure after billions have immured themselves in similar grime and isolation?

In a bare-naked Earth of only rock and foul food (more green slime), the lower class couple must survive humankind's newest and harshest challenge: boredom. But having each other may lead to a horrifying temptation—assisted suicide. This cataclysmic trend reveals the most disturbing truth of all: it sure beats Jenga. As life becomes desperately dull, the always tactful Lenny must keep a flighty Sandra from drowning in the slime...or help lower her in.

In “Tougher than Us” you'll explore a dystopian hell too dreadful to last one day. It examines a spoiled population that lost its toughness, and the shocking consequences that await us all. Buy it now, and dare to see what it takes for true triumph over squalor.
