Atompunk Stories

In the year 2266, the wasteland is changing. Two centuries after the bombs fell, new powers rise from the ashes while the old world continues to haunt those who survived it. Settlements fight for resources, factions struggle for control, and rumors spread of something buried beneath the ruins, something powerful enough to change the balance of the entire wasteland. For one survivor, a seemingly ordinary journey will become the beginning of a conflict far greater than they could have imagined. In a world where trust is dangerous, mercy is weakness, and every choice has consequences, survival may be the easiest part. The wasteland has endured. Now, it is preparing for war.

At some point in the distant past, the sun went dark and the world grew cold.

Amaya is an orphan, raised by traders, who had nothing to remember her parents by except for a few hazy memories and her mother's eagle pendant. She's always known she was different though, and she hopes soon she'll discover why.

This is a finished chapter from a science fiction novel I am working on. It is from the POV of my droid character, Lawrence, and I wanted some criticism from both writers and readers alike to see if the way I formatted the droid's chapters is satisfactory or not. I wanted to do them differently than the rest of the chapters so the audience can be reminded that Lawrence is indeed a droid. This will only be up for a limited time.

Two nations collide during a period of turmoil. Literally. As fuel becomes more scarce and winds become stronger, it's becoming harder and harder to pilot the giant floating islands that make up the territories of each nation away from each other. And that makes for a very interesting political dilemma; what do you do if you're enemy is drifting uncontrollably towards you? You're first option is to drift the other way. The second is to push back. We did the latter, and now we're broke. No fuel, no food, little water and hundreds have already lost their lives; our only option is to surrender. Or, we can preform an over the top espionage mission to steal vital technology for sustainable energy production from a previously neutral nation. Yeah, we'll do that one instead.

I just wanted to help people. Now I'm just going to do whatever it takes to stop these fools.
