She doesn't speak about what happened. Not directly. Not yet. She writes it instead in fragments, in whispers, in red. ROOTS is not a traditional memoir. It's a body remembering. A girl vanishing. A woman returning through poems, letters, and the ghosts that won't let her go. "Some stories ain't meant to be told straight. Some got to be danced outta the bones." Told in a voice that is part stage, part prayer, part scream, ROOTS invites you to listen closely, but don't expect answers. Only echoes.

[#10 IN REALISTIC - 10/07/2019] [COMPLETED] The year was 2118. All seemed normal; normal, until you saw the dust kiss the sky; a mix of brown and white against an infinite blue. Our planet had changed quite a bit in the past 50-60 years. Most financially extractable petroleum had been drained clean by 2048, and like insects to the light, coal soon followed. I mean, it was never meant to be a problem; most estimates said we'd find viable alternatives by then. But we were so preoccupied with getting the last barrel of oil out, we never stopped to ask what we'd do after it was out. And now, we had to look up and wonder if our place was among the stars, or on the burning dust. --- Sci-Fi Adventure inspired heavily by Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Cover by Samadrita Mukhopadhyay (IG: @blackmambaaaaa_). With the help and support of Dwijith R Nambiar (IG: @dwijithr.n).

Just some short stories from a prompt book I got to get the cogs in my brain to start working. They will most likely cover a few different genres and, to be honest, won't be very good. I appreciate any tips, feedback, and constructive criticism from any seasoned writers! Please enjoy my interpretations of these prompts :)
