A possible future in less than 500 words, if plastic wins. This was my entry for the WattPad/National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic competition back in late 2018. It reached their Top 10 Submissions which, given that there appeared to be well over 5000 entries, was a very pleasant surprise! The competition itself had a limit of 500 words so, for those who keep asking if I intend continuing the story, the answer (for now!) is no - unless I can find a very good reason for adding any more. Many thanks to everyone reading and voting on this story and getting it to number 1 in the #sciencefiction category in May/June 2020! I did try to thank the voters individually on their pages but Wattpad have a daily limit on the number of times I'm allowed to do that and there are now too many of you (not that I'm complaining)! Here's the top 10 submissions page: https://www.wattpad.com/list/738243473-planetorplastic-top-10-submissions If you want to read the story in Polish please head over to https://www.wattpad.com/story/236405960-m%C4%85dro%C5%9B%C4%87-staro%C5%BCytnych-t%C5%82umaczenie-pl where @juliatlumaczy has done a fine job - thank you, Julia! @juliatlumaczy has now sent me a version of the cover she used for her Polish translation - thanks again, Julia! @alex_sokolova has also translated the story into Russian as well. You can read that here: https://www.wattpad.com/976002417-мудрость-древних - many thanks, Alex!

The year is 3406, New Life Calendar. It's been centuries since The Fae Wars, and the Earth is plunged into another era without electricity. Continents were reshaped, countries fell and Empires rose. Faeries have been enslaved and domesticated, used for their magical abilities and the Elves are in a heated rebellion to free them. She's frail, traumatized and not even a full faerie, but after the discovery of a girl who managed to flee a Ward, two elves take Claire under their wing to see if she's got what it takes to help win against the Rhenas Empire of Men, although easier said than done with corruption, magic, and a darker force at work. [Warning: This book has both beautiful AND mature and dark themes to it! Not quite Game of Thrones level, but you certainly shall have a fair amount of dread and evil strewn throughout all the happiness I'm going to include. Anything that would be "particularly" dark will be fade-to-black, though.] All media (pictures, music) and ideological property in easter eggs, references or otherwise shown that are not specified as mine belong to their rightful owners and creators. _____ #40 out of 28.8k in #dystopian 3/12/19 #20 out of 4k in #fae 3/12/19 © Copyright 2019

On the pilot simulation, he does brilliantly, despite having close to no training. The army marks it down as talent - Ryan isn't so sure. As Ryan grows in the Galactic Army, he pieces together his visions and memories to find that he holds secrets that could unravel both worlds. Time is running out, and Ryan must walk a delicate balance between truth and lies if he is to survive and protect the ones he loves. ~ Cover by the wonderful kimunkur!
