"Inspired by the great travel literature of centuries past, intrepid TV presenter N. Arraytor and his long-suffering camera crew set off on a spaceship-crashing, budget-busting adventure to visit every planet in the solar system in 80 days...
"It's several centuries in the future. Man has finally reached for the stars to explore, discover and exploit our home solar system. With great power comes great responsibility and great deals for budget holidays on Mars! What with space becoming the next package holiday destination and all, there's a wonderful opportunity for mankind to document itself doing one thing that it seems very good at: exploring."
This mocumentary is heavily inspired by the writings of two favourite authors of mine, namely Michael Palin and Jules Verne, both who can/could write epic descriptions of life on a journey. Also, a lot of the technology and space ships described in this story are lifted directly from addons for the spaceflight simulator "Orbiter", an amazing piece of software from http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk.
Work in progress, I'm pretty busy at the mo', so the guys may be stuck on the moon for a wee while...

The Ground | Bellamy Blake [1] [Rewritten]
REWRITTEN. 'We will fall, but we will get back up again.' --- It's been ninty-seven years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone one earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Fortunately, there were survivors at the time of the bombs. There is now only the Ark, one station forged from the many. They were told the Earth needed another hundred years to become survivable again and man could come home, back to the ground. On the Ark, every crime, no matter how small, is punishable by death-- unless you're under eighteen, which was in the favor of the seventeen year old Scarlett Griffin, who was locked up for committing an unforgivable crime. When she get sent to Earth with ninety-nine other criminals, she's finally able to see her sister and old friends once again. Along the many new faces she meets, one caught her eyes rather quickly and she could feel herself slowly fall for him. --- ! - Swearing, lots of sarcasm, blood and Bellamy Blake. The 100.

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown)
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection.

Runaway World
During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...Completa![War || Bellamy Blake ¹ [ EDITED COMPLETE ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/330595915-256-k968543.jpg)

Green | Bellamy Blake
"You say that you have a whole hell of problems, but you underestimate the hell I've been through," I murmur, as he tilts his head downwards towards mine. He glances back in forth between my eyes for a moment before taking my cheek in his hand. He brings his lips centimetres from mine. "We can walk through any hell the world throws at us," he whispers finally before presses his lips against mine. ~~~~ After Hailey Arrette Kane is found as being a second child to Coralie Kane, she is forced into the Skybox per her sister's request. Her sister, Arlo Riv Kane, managed to convince her dad and the council that she needed to die in Hailey's place, allowing Hailey to live just as long as she did but in the Skybox. After her 21st birthday, which marked her fourth year in the Skybox, the council made a decision. They were going to send 100 delinquents to the ground as an experiment to see whether the level of radiation was survivable or not. In doing so, they managed to sentence almost all of them to an untimely death that was almost inevitable. With the idea of freedom, Hailey knows that she is never safe and that if weaknesses are shown, someone will use them against her. Will she be able to overcome her emotional and mental walls, even if it means that she'd be vulnerable? Being on the ground will change Hailey in ways that the people on the ark would never expect. She will find a better version of herself. Hailey will become what she was always meant to be, a warrior.
