Confuddled
I'm almost certain it is, but I'm not a huge sci-fi fan. I have been known to read the odd one or two and devoured John Christopher as a kid. This is just a NaNoWriMo project that I'm not even planning to make the 50K with so I guess the genre isn't terribly important beyond I don't want to wander onto the wrong forum there. I've been comfortably in detective fiction, fantasy and historical before where I knew enough not to be pilloried. I am sure the story is very clichéd, improbable and dull but I just want something light as my sit-com pilot deadline is sometime in December. However - Help:
Anyway I have a group of kids in a post-apocalyptic world. They live in a slum in a toxic desert just off the rubbish dump of a climate controlled dome. The society lives mostly off the dump. The main character is Pich (name is seriously subject to change) who is the daughter of the creator, a woman revered by everyone else and the closest their society has to a leader.
Periodically, a troop train stops. Troops get off and round up some of the inhabitants of the town and they are never seen again. After the troops have left ailing people are found on the dump Due to my usual lack of planning I have this vague idea that Pich's mother is in the hire of the hated people in the dome who throw out ailing people and she fixes them up as cyborg, wipe their memory and then they are recollected.
One of the roundups sees Pich's mother taken and she is left in charge. She knows how to heal others like her but she can't help the people thrown on the heap. At some point I think she will leave to investigate.
