A short story about a childish troodon and grumpy enantiornith who go on a quest to the Second Sun despite their clashing personalities. When they both realize that they are each essentially alone in life, though, they end up becoming each other's family. ~ Hi! This is a short story I wrote for my Creative Writing class in school. It's supposed to be historical fiction, but I don't exactly think that it fits if that makes sense (most historical fiction stories are often about early and pre 1900s humans, at least that I've seen). I got pretty good feedback for it which bolstered my own pride in it, so I figured I might as well post it here! I hope you enjoy :)

Growing up in North Korea, in the days before her Father destroyed the world, Young Moon was happy. At least she thought she was, but that was so long ago and she was so very young. Her Father would grow excited when he told her impossible tales of the Great Neighbor, China, with dozens of astronauts in orbit and on the Moon. There was a small base on Mars, too, being built by robots, and even bigger stations -- the ring cities -- were planned. Young Moon used to get uncomfortable and wished he would lower his voice. Their walls were thin in Wonsan and school taught her that this kind of talk was treason. Teacher said the Dear Leader would know if you didn't pay proper respect to the glories of the Homeland, and he could get very cross with you if he found out. Every screen was two-way and you never knew if someone was watching. All she wanted was to be left alone to talk to the visions in her drawings -- visions that came to warn her of impending danger. But a chance word spoken by an angry classmate would force Young Moon's family to flee North Korea for China, where she would witness her father set in motion a world-shaking disaster of epic proportions. THE END OF EDEN is the first book in the Water Worlds™ sci-fi adventure series, chronicling the terraforming of the inner worlds of the Solar System as seen through the eyes of generations of young women. Seven books are planned for the series.
