Futurelibrary Stories

"Maybe, where I see flying cars and holidays to the moon, they’ll see - you’ll see ships that go light years in moments and trips to other galaxies. Maybe, where I see aliens coming down with ships and brain-controlling everyone, you’ll see your best friend coming back from their home planet."

A girl in the future that has a different life.

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

Moon tells her that she isn't thinking big enough. Taking Kimberlee to her son Alistair, deep in the warrens of the black market, Kimberlee is shown a new way to create art that uses the stars themselves.
