A brief summary of a leatherback turtle's life, their fight - their chance at life. 
To join National Geographics in the fight against single-use plastics, for the turtles, for the marine life out there struggling because of the mishaps that we keep on making.

To be a voice, to inform the people blinded by ignorance and greed, to stop and to think about the world right now and the future for sake of our future generations.

"We humans take and take and take until the world has nothing else to share."

Please let their voices be heard afar, please spare them another chance. 

As I am only a 13-year-old, I do not fully understand the life of a turtle. I deeply apologize if anything is incorrect in this short story as I am not professionally knowledgeable about marine life.

Thank you for reading!

We Eukaryotes by duncmacphun
13 parts Complete
About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

"She could have died today for me, and I didn't even know her name." ------------------------- Imagine that there are no limits for you. No yesterday and no tomorrow. Imagine that your entire existence, your life, your thoughts were focused on only one goal: To be free. A life in captivity was replaced by a life on the run. Restlessness and distrust are the only companions. Madness lurks in the dreams - night after night - a destroyed landscape, a blood-red sky, accompanied by three words full of hate and craving: "On your knees!" But an encounter changes everything - a blue Katana and a purple Bo are stopping the endless escape. A flame is kindled in those who love each other. And Donnie asks himself one question: "Will this fire warm me or burn me?" ------------------------- First part of a sequel! Watch out, dear reader. It's getting long, dark and epic - but I will do everything to bring also some light into this story. The turtles are aged up! Minors, stay away! There will be many intense emotions, conflicts and concrete descriptions of battle scenes, fluff and smut (and movie spoilers) But maybe also a happy ending if we stick together until the end. Are you with me? ------- Awards: #1 donniexreader #1 donnie #1 rottmnt #1 leonardo #1 risedonnie #1 rise #1 donniexoc #1 raph #1 disastertwins #1 donatello #1 leo #1 tmntlovestory ------------------------- Cover by @knightish-knight on Tumblr &lt;3 rottmnt belongs to nickelodeon and OC belongs to me Edit: the woman in this story is described concretely. if you have trouble with that, this book is probably not for you.
When the Sun Begins to Die  by Thatonefnaflover
60 parts Complete Mature
Seventeen year old Cadence Buds is a normal teenager in a dying world. Well, the world isn't dying, but the sun is. It has been dying for several years now, but the effects are finally starting to come about. The sun has even been changing color. The government has been working on a plan to save a portion of the human population for quite some time. There are so many problems with the sun dying. The oceans will evaporate from the inevitable explosion, everything will be dark and nothing will be able to grow, the world will freeze over, everything will be destroyed. The sun is also giving off toxic radiation while it dies, making the world especially dangerous. The government's solution to this problem is to build a radiation proof dome over a large area. There will be synthetic heat, light, and seasons. The cost to enter such an oasis is very expensive. It is hundreds of thousands of dollars per ticket. However, there is another way to get in. Once the sun dies many will die with it. It might even vaporize part of the planet in its blast. No one knows for sure. But the world will need a larger population. You can earn your place in the dome if you agree to have a child to save the human race. This obviously only applies to women. Now remember Cadence? He is biologically female. He has been on testosterone for two years and is trying to transition in this world. Unfortunately that is horribly expensive where he lives. His family however is more focused on saving their lives from the dying sun. His parents had just enough money to afford his sister a ticket. She could not have children because she was barren. Cadence however could have children if he wished, but he didn't. Having a child meant undoing all of his hard work. He is told that in order to survive that he must have a child within the next two years. Two years is a long time, but he never wanted to have children. What will Cadence do once his two years have come to an end?
