A short story/poem I wrote about the epic journey of a plastic-straw, inspired by the National Geographic / Wattpad contest. Save our beautiful oceans...there is no Planet-B. 💚🌏🐠🐬🐟🌍💙

My submission to the National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic writing competition! Let's clean up our oceans and save our marine life!

*WATTPAD FEATURED FEB 2018* *2018 FICTION AWARD WINNER IN SCI FI CATEGORY* Leah Azemar's soul has been sent to the world of the dead. She just doesn't know it. ... Leah Azemar has spent her life trapped in a town that moves slower than she does, hiding her abnormalities from people who would fear and exploit her. But when Leah slips up and a mysterious boy called Jared comes asking unanswerable questions, Leah is thrust into a fight that she's convinced has nothing to do with her. But Jared knows things about her that he shouldn't. And he can do things that no one else in her world can do. Soon, Leah begins to realise that somewhere, deep in her subconscious, her memories have been trapped. And the more she remembers, the more she realises how badly she needs to return to the living.
