Marinelife Stories

"They call us exhibits. Today, we fight back." Tevera, a young orca, was taken from her home in the wild and forced to perform in the dazzling-but cruel-Highwater Oceanarium. Surrounded by other captive marine animals, she navigates a world of bright lights, strict trainers, and endless shows, all while dreaming of freedom. As she forms fragile bonds with Kato, Flora, and other creatures, Tevera begins to notice strange patterns in the water: waves that rise when she panics, currents that shift with the emotions of the animals, storms that brew with group movements of whales. The longer the ocean's prisoners are held, the more the seas themselves seem to suffer. With every show, every confinement, and every forced trick, Tevera realizes that their captivity is more than a personal tragedy-it could affect the fate of the entire ocean. Determined to escape, she must rally her fellow animals and confront the humans who control not only their lives but the very balance of Earth's waters.

If you could put yourself in any other story other than your own, any other universe, what would you want to do, who would you want to be? How much of you now would be left? Valentine Peters, an ex-martial artist sophomore transfer of Briar University with a masters in sass, loves to make lists about being in any Alternate Universe that isn't the one he has been placed in. He believes the 'gods of the Universes' have chosen him as their comedic tragedy in this universe, sending him irony this way and that. He was diagnosed with a blood disorder that has become the biggest aspect of his life, and as much as he tries, he cannot find ways other than to imagine of other lives to continue with existing here. He plays ukulele, studies marine life as a major and hummingbirds as a hobby, and he doesn't see much else left for him out there. His new friends at his new university - Nyx and Leo - are prepared to try to get him, and themselves, to see, that the Paths can change, and that sometimes friends, family, and the world around you can create who you are, and that there is a place for you in the Universe you've been put in, that you're made of stars, and you do matter.

This story is created to support the #PlanetOrPlastic Campaign of the National Geographic in cooperation with Wattpad. I hope this story will help the said campaign. Let Us Save Marine Lives. Let Us Save Mother Earth.
