Futurelibrary Stories

To the world in 2114, how would I give my advice to you? What would you look like in 2114? What would the people be like? Will their life be worth living, like ours is? Find out in 2114. For the Dear 2114 contest.

Years from now, in 2114 technology has obviously increased no bounds making people lazier and also taking the real meaning out of everything. Same way the Oxford library in future has lost all its meaning when the books in the book stores are replaced with super intelligent gadgets which have even made our hand's job useless with its mind reading capacity. This story is about how an interior designer and a band drummer come together to bring back the musty smelling books and meaning to that one place which hold so much meaning to them. The old school antique bookshop.

A Short Story My #FutureLibrary Entry *I do not own this cover*

When a national treasure results in a world war, seven siblings are left fatherless and struggling to survive. Sometimes, the root of your problem is also your solution. #Dear2114 contest submission.

Azrah, a 12 year old Pakistani girl trapped in a country so war-spoiled that the air is unbreathable, is given a book for her 13th birthday. This book isn't like the ones hidden in her Mother's room or the ones that she uses in school, this one is from the far past. Scribbler Moon. Azrah doesn't know it, but that book will change everything, even when a repeating tragedy happens in Azrah's life. It'll teach her forgiveness, and show her what the world was like before 2114.

A shantytown sails upon the sea; a lonely boy builds himself a friend; and the night sky in Japan's frozen north is filled with stars. Surely you've heard the Tale of the Five Magicians: Anne-Marie, Paolo, Goodman, Fyodor and Aika? let me tell it to you again, and for the very first time.

A girl in the future that has a different life.

My entry for the Future Library Contest, for the prompt "This is 2114". All who read, I hope you enjoy my imaginings of the future!

Entry for "Dear 2114 with Margaret Atwood"

There was a time when murder was commonplace, even mundane. Luckily the class of 2114 can't imagine such horrors, but Agatha will have to. Wrote this in a very short time for Margaret Atwood's Future Library challenge, hope you like it, feedback would be very welcome!

This is supposed to be my entry for Margaret Atwood's writing challenge two years ago but for some reasons, I forgot to send my entry before the deadline. And so, I decided to post this here on my account and added some spicies on it then. All Rights Reserved. 2015©YuxanAng

"As a child, I was one of those who buried treasures in jars, with the idea that someone, some day, might come along and dig them up. I found similar things while digging in the various gardens I have made: old nails, old medicine bottles, fragments of china plates... That is what the Future Library is like, in part: it will contain fragments of lives that were once lived, and that are now the past. But all writing is a method of preserving and transmitting the human voice." There’s a secret book that no one will read for 100 years. It is a book from the future, so it hasn’t been published yet. It is kept in a locked room, in a Norwegian library. There is a sacred grove that will provide the paper for its pages. And there are 100 authors who will write its secret stories. 100 years. 100 stories. 100 different writers. This is the Future Library (Framtidsbiblioteket). It is being created by Scottish artist Katie Paterson for the city of Oslo in Norway. When Katie had to choose the first writer to contribute the first story, she named Margaret Atwood, prizewinning author, poet, essayist, literary critic, and Wattpad’s official Fairy Godmother. Read Margaret's thoughts about her involvement in the project here. *Watch Margaret on Periscope on May 26th 2015 to witness the live event, and stay tuned for a special Wattpad writing contest coming soon!*

Alone in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere, Mona writes her story about the end of the world, or at least, the end of her world. This story was inspired by Margaret Atwood's "Dear 2114" Future Library writing contest on Wattpad. The prompt I chose to follow was This is 2114. #FutureLibrary #ScribblerMoon
