Ice and snow are all they know now. Only older generations remember a better time. What they don't know is how exactly it all started. They all heard a lot of different stories but no one could tell history from myth, until that fateful day when the discovery was made and everything Silv thought she knew changed. I don't own the cover image.

Jason Star and Molly Fields meet under the most trying conditions and team up to explore the universe to find intelligent life. But first they must contend with many tribulations on their journey into the unknown as they work to save the human race. What wonders will they discover? What dangers will they meet?

The day Andrew's best friend tells him there's a no-fly zone near their homes changes everything. One minute they're talking conspiracy theories, the next they're hiking into a restricted zone to uncover what they suspect is another Area 51. The armed soldiers patrolling the electric fence around the area are the big clue that they should go home, but this could be their last chance for a little end-of-summer adventure. When the teens witness another hiker murdered, they need to rethink their commitment to unraveling the mystery.

The collision leaves the planet blackened and lifeless. Can the colonists survive their sudden enforced independence? And is the Earth as dead as it appears?

Estera Montenegro grew up knowing one thing: she needs to be a wolf to survive. As an Enforcer in her community, it's her job to face off with law-breaking members in an arena while citizens watch. But when fate takes a drastic turn, she finds herself injured and homeless. That is until she crosses paths with Magnus Juarez. His community supplies electricity to the entire region, which makes them vital in the wasteland. Little does he know he just allowed a wolf through their gates because Estera is willing to do anything to survive and she's hungry for revenge on the people who wronged her. * * * 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐧: 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 & 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐫 ✨✨ ᏟᎾᏉᎬᏒ ᏟᏒᎬᎪᏆᎬᎠ bᎽ ᏆhᎬ ᎥmmᎬᏁsᎬᏞᎽ ᏆᎪᏞᎬᏁᏆᎬᎠ @sereneur ✨✨

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.

A moutain space-ship holding prisoners captive for six months; a bureau that designs reality for the citizens of Integral One; an escaped architect lands on Earth; follow the journies of Ayra, Horace, Atlas and Aurelia as they set about breaking the matrix of creation in order to create a world that is truly free.

In six months the Earth will stop on its axis and the world will end. For Gabe, a once talented pilot in the EDEN program, it ended years ago with the death of his brother. Since that day, imminent annihilation has been eased by menial work, his eccentric friend, Jaibles and canteen bacon sandwiches. However, all is not lost. A mysterious god named Alan has appeared as the pet budgerigar to Susan, an unassuming woman exasperated by patriarchal injustice. Promising paradise and the technology to evacuate Earth, all god wants in return is for her to start his own religion - or at the very least, generate 50% of humanities undivided worship - whichever comes first. Gabe may yet get the adventure he always dreamed of, but only if he can survive EDEN, a vengeful God, a holy war and a paradise constructed of his own subconscious memories. God has returned to save us all, but who will save us from God? Paradise Awaits!

The Institute for Cetacean Advancement quietly controls Earth, harnessing the intelligence of captive whales and dolphins to solve human problems. Dr. James Morris is their leading bioengineer. His best friend is Coda-9994, the genius and potty-mouthed hybrid sperm whale destined to be sent off to the ocean planet Ouroboros. With humans having rendered Earth's ocean uninhabitable, the ICA insists it's the only way to find a new homeworld to serve mankind's needs. But Coda doesn't want to go. He grows angrier at Jim with each passing day for doing nothing. Desperate to redeem himself in Coda's eyes, Jim finds himself tangled in a conspiracy to bring the ICA to its knees. But how willing is he to get his hands dirty? How far will they go to break humanity's cycle of self-destruction? Based on the short story that took first place in National Geographic's "Planet or Plastic" contest. *Contains some foul language.* ______ Dream Awards - 1st place Sci-fi Majestic Awards - 1st place Sci-fi
