Iceworld Stories

Us humans, are watchers. We are here to study, protect and care for the whole world that surrounds us. We outer passed our job. So now nature is mad at us. What should we do ? I actually don't know. The future that's in front of us is clear and we can't escape it. Now we should make the dystopia awaiting us become an utopia. A true real world in which mankind wouldn't destroy his surrounding and its own self. An ice world, purifying and destroying everything all in one, is kind of the best way to start again. We could just start trying to unravel our own mistakes. It's not mistakes of the past, it's all misunderstandings and ignorance. We can do this right ? Can we help ourselves cure the ache we made blossom in this world ? It's all twisted. We refuse to listen. We refuse to look forward. All we can do is say that everything seems to be deteriorating around us and we just wouldn't listen to the ones who could have contributed to help slow this tide. It's a huge wave coming up and down, drowning the world in oil and shimmers. Our eyes are full of glitter and comfort. Well, why should we refuse this comfort we have now only in order to repair what others made wrong ? Yes that's true, let's all disappear stifled in fabrics and wires. Then if you people reading this agree with me, let me do the only thing I know in order to help myself, let me write my utopia. Life is fun, I'll enjoy it. We will all die whatever, then why fight ? Human has no defined purpose in the world it was born in. They have no rights of toying with the nature. They did wrong with the powers they have. They wrongly used their knowledge. Now it's maybe time to use it in the right way, don't you think ?

Raefon doesn't fit in with the other young dragons. He's smaller than those younger than him, and since his hatch day, he hasn't spoken a single word. Liz has two gifts, a knack for fighting and the ability to mind speak with animals... and can understand the dragon language. But girls can only look forward to one thing: finding a good match that might help raise or maintain the status of their families. When Raefon gets into more trouble than he's ever been in before, is he doomed to be exiled, forever running away or in prison, alone? Or is there someone who can understand him on a deeper level for the first time in his life?

Lord Wixim Alvin, inter-dimensional explorer, uses time manipulation, time branching, to help his exploration party in a race against a better outfitted competitor. In his obsession to win, he must sacrifice everything. Nima, granddaughter of the Sunreader, finds her iceberg village destroyed. Migration is the only way to stay alive, but she can't do it alone.

Welcome to Snowtown, USA, mothertrooper! SnowPunk is an exciting subgenre in a similar vein to DesertPunk, SkyPunk, OceanPunk and SpacePunk. Imagine a world covered in ice. Maybe our world, maybe an alien one! How would the technology on such a world develop? What strange, new technologies would we see?

Two millennia have passed after a catastrophic event that killed most of the population on earth. The survivors are rebuilding a society where, perhaps unsurprisingly, human relations feature the same prejudices and conflicts that are familiar to us. Fortunately, not everyone is of the same old mold. Betula and Liriodendron are nonconformists of the best kind, just like the many we are familiar with today. Let's hope their adventures will be entertaining enough for readers to suffer Contrails' dark episodes. Hey! Dystopia is seldom entertaining.
